(Solved)
The managing director of a company, established before the dawn of independence is facing a problem. The company which was initially profitable and attracted very many graduates to work with is currently unprofitable. It is operating, in the MD’s opinion, inefficiently. The company offers a wide range of communications facilities including parcel services in the country, region and worldwide. Initially, the company was a monopolist but the changing world market trends and globalization; survival will be more difficult in the future. In particular, many communications and parcel service delivery companies
are bypassing its services by not only offering door to door delivery but also offering the services at affordable rates. In addition, many of the companies that have joined the communications and parcel services have stationed themselves in various strategic positions so that customers can reach at their service delivery points at ease. As a research consultant, the MD has commissioned you to undertake a comprehensive study on the firm as a whole to determine possible strategies the company can undertake to face the existing problem.
i) State an appropriate research title for the research.
ii) Identify a possible research problem from the above case study for a proposed study.
iii) Formulate three possible research objectives and three possible research questions for the
proposed study.
iv) In formulating your objectives above, what factors did you take into consideration?
v) Briefly explain some ways that you would use to improve the reliability and validity of the study
vi) Explain any four ethical considerations that you would bear in mind while conducting your
research.
Vii) Conceptualize variables in the above situation that could be used in a conceptual framework
