A useful way to identify a potential scientific research project in business and management is to look for a "pain point" - a thorny problem plaguing a set of people in an organisation and requiring an urgent solution. A research proposal is then prepared, demonstrating how the research project will be carried out. A research proposal is a detailed description of a proposed study designed to investigate a given problem (Traenkel and Wallen, 2008). It is intended to convince others that you have a worthwhile research project and that you have the competence and the work-plan to complete it. In this regard, you are required to develop a research proposal meant to showcase how you would approach a research project relating to a "pain point" you have observed within a business or management context. Your proposal is expected to address key questions relating to the research project
