This power point presentation outlines a research proposal on conducting a business research project. It discusses forming a hypothesis, methodology, and time frame. A group of 5 students - Abhshek, Akanchha, Raj Raymond, Shymal Majumdar, and Ravi Kumar - will research writing a proposal containing the problem statement, literature review, research methodology, data analysis, timeframe, budget, and hypothesis. The presentation defines what a research proposal and hypothesis are and covers types of hypotheses, testing hypotheses, and methodology including study design, population/sampling, sample size, and instrumentation.

3. TOPIC
Research project: writing a
research proposal which will
contain hypothesis, methodology &
time frame.

4. Research proposal
A research proposal is an outline of the
research work proposed by the researcher.
It contains a statement of the problem , the
proposed methodology , the the benefit of the
research and the resources required to conduct
the research.

5. Benefits of proposal
Analyse the feasibility of the project
The researcher can assess
It provides the blueprint
It evaluate the research results

6. Type of research proposal
Solicited
unsolicited

7. Contents of research proposal
Executive summary
Problem statement
Review of literature
Research methodology
Data analysis
Timeframe
Budget and resources
Hypothesis

8. Hypothesis
A proposed answer to a question or problem that
can be verified or rejected through testing .a
hypothesis statement is typically an educated guess
as to the relationship between factors, and serves as
the basis for an experiment to test whether the
relationship holds true.

9. Testing of hypothesis
Phases 1
• Formulate
your hunch
or
assumption
Phases 2
• Collect the
required
data
Phases 3
• Analyse
data to
draw
conclusions
about that
hunch true
or false

10. Characteristics of a hypothesis
Should be simple
Should be capable of verification
Should be related to the existing body of knowledge
Should be operation alisable

11. Type of hypothesis
Types of hypothesis
Research
hypothesis
Hypothesis of association
Hypothesis of point prevalence
Hypothesis of difference
Hypothesis no difference
Alternate
hypothesis
Null hypothesis

12. Errors in testing a hypothesis
Accept Correct
decision
Type I error
Reject Type II error Correct
decision

13. Methodology
 Research methodology is a way to
systematically solve the research problem. It
may be understood as a science of studying how
research is done scientifically.

14. Study design
Study population/sampling specifications
Sample size needed
instrumentation

15. Study design
A study design is a specific plan or
protocol for conducting the study, which
allows the investigator to translate the
conceptual hypothesis into an operational
one.

16. Study population/sample
specification
It is important to describe which would be the
study population.
How study subjects would be selected ,
randomization process and other details should
be given.

17. Sample size
It shows number of the observations in a
sample.
It refers to the number of individual
pieces of data collected in a survey.

18. Instrumentation
It briefly outline the instruments that will
be used in the study , including any and all
surveys , interviews , or observation grids.

19. Time frame
It is also called work schedule.
The proposal should include the sequence of tasks to be
performed , the anticipated length of time required for its
completion and the personnel required.
It can be presented in tabular or graphic form.
