The focus of this week’s assignment is on applying the qualitative method to the research problem. Begin with a one-page introduction about the circumstances that led to the development of the problem; do not state the problem in this section. Establish the existence of your research problem using three to four scholarly articles published within the last five years. Remember that the problem must have a business administration focus, and must relate to your degree specialization. Keep your research focus and problem simple for this assignment.
NOTE: this framework must be used for your assignment response. Use one sentence for each of the following:
- Hook: An attention-grabbing statement that is supported by the literature.
- Anchor: An evidence of the problem statement that includes a statistic and is supported by primary research.
- A statement of the general business problem.
- A statement of the specific business problem.
This script is helpful to (a) frame the problem, (b) validate that it exists with verifiable data, and (c) identify why and for whom the problem matters (Bakari 2018).
Next, rationalize the use of the qualitative method for your research inquiry. Explain the features. Give examples of the intended research outcomes. Formulate a purpose statement using the framework.
