ASSESSMENT 4
BUS707 – Applied Business Research
T3 2019
ASSESSMENT 4: Research Proposal – 50%
This assessment is designed to allow students to present and justify appropriate method(s) for a research
project designed to address the research question posed. This assessment relates to Learning Outcomes a,
b and d.
There are two components of the assessment:
• Written proposal: 40%
• Oral presentation: 10%
Based on the Research Question developed in Assessment 2, students should develop a research design
aimed at providing insights and/or answers to the question. Students should make any recommended
adjustments to the content of Assessment 2, based on feedback provided, prior to including it in
Assessment 4.
This assessment requires students to choose and justify the most appropriate research design, clearly
explaining WHY the chosen design will best answer the research question and is most appropriate in the
specific circumstances. Students should clearly justify their recommended research and analysis methods.
Note: Other than in exceptional circumstances, Assessment 4 of this subject is intended to form the basis
of the student’s Research Project in BUS710 Research Project, following appropriate adjustments

the ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently, any assessment items such as in- class
quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due date/time will attract a penalty. However, for
in-class assessment, no extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only be permitted under
very special circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. Presentation is considered
as in-class assessment, therefore no extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0 marks. The rules
for make-up presentations are the same as for missing in-class tests
– Applying for extension:
For in-class assessment, a make-up presentation may only be permitted under very special circumstances
where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. If students are unable to attend an assessment when
due, and extensions are possible, they must apply by completing the appropriate Application for Extension
form available from the Student Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and
the Reception Desk (Market St and Kent St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3) working days
of the assessment due date. The completed form must be emailed with supporting documentation to
academic@koi.edu.au.Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of the extension
request as soon as practicable. Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an extension
must be supplied. Please remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted, and poor
organisation is not a satisfactory reason to be granted an extension.
Guideline and Checklist for Final Proposal (A4)
1. Title Page
Choose an interesting title for the report, the title should indicate the nature of problem/research being
investigated. If client organisation is used, the name of the organisation should be part of the title.

your brief research plan (A1), revised A1 if necessary.
5. Theoretical Background/Literature review
This section is expected to be the extended version of your A3 (structure literature review), therefore, you
should not copy paste your A3 into this section, instead you need to use your A3 is a basis to do a
comprehensive literature review. Around 10 extra literatures are required (on top of the four articles you
used in your A3). Link your literature review back to your research problem.
6. Research Design and Methodology
This section should provide detail plan of research design and research methodology. It should consist
information:
