Presenting Your Research

Select a Topic:

This is an individual project.

This document has the full description of each topic. The online descriptions are truncated and for selection purposes only.

Topic:

Canada and Egypt in 2015: What are the main issues affecting business relationships between these two regions? How have these issues changed in the last 10 years? Based on your research, what will this relationship look like in 2025?

Objectives:

• Research and develop a formal report on the topic you select.

• Develop and apply effective research and organizational skills in preparing a report.

• Prepare your report using the outline format, as practiced earlier in the course, as a structure for your report.

• Use the Business Report Template, as provided on eCentennial.

Business Research Report

Use the Business Report Template provided as a guide to preparing your report. The report should include a cover page, a minimum of four pages of body/text (11 pt font, one inch margins), a maximum of six pages of body/text, and a reference page containing your citations. You are required to cite at least three published, validated research sources. There are many sources available in the Library and the Reference Librarians are waiting to help you find them. You will lose marks for incomplete or poorly formatted citations, and for incomplete or poorly research assertions. Every fact you state MUST be cited. Use APA format for your citations, as demonstrated and discussed as part of the template. Further information on APA style can be found in your textbook. There are also excellent examples available on the Web.

Gathering Information:

Part of your assignment includes finding appropriate research sources and providing accurate and appropriately formatted citations (APA style) for each source. A report of this nature should have a combination of sources. You need at least three unique published, validated sources for your work. ALL SECONDARY RESEARCH SOURCES SHOULD BE PUBLISHED, regardless of whether they are found online or in the library. This means that the following Internet sites are NOT appropriate for your secondary research:

• Corporate company websites (these are not published or validated by a third party)

• Blogs

You may use Wikipedia as an additional source to the three other secondary research sources that you find. It must not be the only source. As noted above, three additional published sources must be used.

It can be appropriate to gather primary research in the form of interviewing experts. The details of your interview, such as the questions you prepared and the interviewee’s responses, should be included as a transcript in the Appendix of your report. Interviews should also be properly cited using APA style. These sources should be IN ADDITION to your secondary research - the three published sources you find and use.

USE EXTREME CAUTION when doing research online. Please note that many students in the past have received zero for plagiarism. Any work that you submit MUST be written by you, NOT cut and paste from an Internet site or from some other source. If you do use a quote from a web site, it must be properly cited within the text and on the reference page. Work that is submitted and deemed to be plagiarized will be given a zero grade.

Materials to be handed in:

1. Formal business research report

2. Report Outline (can be included in the report as an appendix)
