Programme Overview
This module is designed for students to develop a comprehensive understanding of research in general and business. Both academic business research and business consultancy research are addressed in the module.
The module examines the concepts and theories underlying research, as well as the practice of research. The module has an applied focus. The readings and assignments are designed to identify a feasible research topic and develop a research proposal for academic business or business consultancy research. How research problems and questions may be identified, and the process of achieving thoughtful, effective and efficient research design are examined. The importance of the literature review and how it can be carried out for optimal effectiveness in research are investigated.
In addition, the module provides an overview of research methodologies and methods and the techniques of the research process as applied to business, whether as a business consultant or as an academic researcher. The philosophical and epistemological assumptions underpinning the research approaches and methodologies, as well as their role in determining the design and implementation of the research, are studied. Besides these aspects, the ethical aspects of research and consultancy are also addressed.
Programme Overview
This module is a continuation of Research Methods for Business and Management I in which the student will complete the project or dissertation presented in the first module.
Programme Overview
This module equips you with a thorough understanding of the advantages and challenges presented by workplace diversity, suggesting techniques to manage effectively and maximise the benefits of diversity.

In addition, you will analyse data in ways that facilitate the development and evaluation of human resource (HR) policies, practices, and strategies. Having an engaged workforce improves organisational productivity, because engaged employees are involved in, enthusiastic about, and committed to their work and workplace.
