Title: What can be done to increase the output and the standard of remote workers in the UK?
**based on the UK law and what can be done or already done I and can get better in the UK
Structure:
1. Title. This can include a subtitle and should
indicate what the research is essentially about.
2. Abstract. The abstract sums up the research
problem/questions, research design and methods, and relation to the literature
and/or practice.
3. Introduction
in the form of an analysis of the problem to be addressed. This introductory material
should include a clear statement of the problem, the question(s) to be
researched, the importance of those questions and an indication of the
potential role of business and management theories in answering the questions.
4. A summary
critical review of the relevant literature, both theoretical and applied. This section
should indicate what can be learnt from the current literature and will seek to
identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of that literature. You are not
expected to provide a comprehensive guide to the literature, but you are
expected to communicate an understanding of some of the main theoretical ideas
and presently available evidence relating to your topic. You must refer primarily
to the academic
literature. The professional
literature and
popular management literature might be helpful but tends to be limited
to ‘how-to-do-it’ rather than an in-depth and critical understanding of
problems.
5. An outline of
the proposed research design and methods. You should outline the research design and
the likely methods, taking care to point to the strengths and weaknesses of
your proposed research methods. You must outline a research project that
can feasibly be done within the constraints of the M.Sc. dissertation process –
that is a project that can be completed by one person within the M.Sc. period
of study. You should indicate that you have good reason to believe that the
necessary data is available and can be collected in the time available, that
your choice of method(s) is appropriate and likely to produce reliable and
valid results, and that you have considered any ethical questions raised by the
research.
6. Conclusion. The conclusion summarizes the
problem, the purposes of the study, the research question/s, and the
methodology. It should also acknowledge any possible limitations of the
approach (such as problems of generalisability from a limited number of cases).
7. Appendix: commentary
on your use of AI (see
below for guidance)
8. Documentation: list of references and any appendices.
Using the Harvard approach to referencing and the references should be listed alphabetically.
You may include an appendix for any additional material you consider
relevant, however the appendix is not included in the word count and will not
be assessed. Diagrams and tables should be numbered, captioned, and presented
correctly.
