Business Research Design
About this subject
On completion of this subject you will be able to:
- Interpret the broad range of research designs applicable to exploration of business problems
- Identify, determine and communicate research designs to explore relevant aspects of a complex and ambiguous business problem;
- Develop, evaluate and communicate options for innovative business design based upon a business model design approach.
- Please refer to RMIT University’s Learning Management System - Canvas, for further details.
This subject is designed to equip students with a problem-solving approach that can be used to tackle wicked problems within contemporary business environments. Solutions are then framed within a business model framework, and pitched to peers and industry partners. You will identify assumptions within their business model and develop a research proposal that will address a fundamental inherent assumption within their model. The research proposal will turn the assumption into a research question, identify the appropriate ontology, epistemology, method and methodology to address that question.
