In this study, I aimed to improve the partner organization's existing contract administrationprocess and understand the current system's shortcomings andtheorganization's needs.Iemployedaquantitativeandqualitativedesign andcollected data based on the BPR framework.

I expect the findings from this study to positively influence the partner organization andothernonprofit entities.Disseminationofthesefindings willoccurin severalways.First,Iwillpresent thiscapstonestudytoanacademicaudience through peer-reviewed publication and presentation of this studythe academic community.

Second,Iwillpublishthismixed-methodsstudyinanacademicjournal thatdisseminates research on improving business practices. I will also provide a copy of this capstone study to the partner organization's CEO and the COO.

Lastly, I will provide the COO a copy of the workflow schematics and a brief work instruction.

Onepossiblelimitationofthisstudywastheriskthatbiascanbeintroducedwith the qualitative methodology employed in this study. Participants reported on their own experiences and opinions, and I analyzed the data. During data analysis, however, it was

possible that my personal experiences could've influenced data interpretation. This limitationwaspartiallyminimizedbymyrecordingandtranscribingtheinterviews.This approach ensured that the participant's voice was maintained. I also aimed to reduce personal bias by reviewing the interview transcripts multiple times to identify and compensate for any evidence of bias.

Finally, another limitation was the small sample size used for the survey and interviews.Whilesmallsamplesizesarestandard inqualitativeresearch, thissamplesize may reduce the generalizability of the findings. The 30 participants who completed the survey may not represent the views of all employees. Section 5 details the final deliverable provided to the organization and the study's usefulness for a broader audience.
