Week 4 Research Objectives – Please assist in composing a minimum of three research objectives based on the selected management question, research question, and problem statement below.
Guidelines for writing research objectives:
Cover the different parts of the research problem and its factors in a clear and logical manner;
Are phrased in correct research/measurement terms, specifying precisely what you are planning, what you are interested in finding out, who will be surveyed (male, female, children, teens), and when (timely);
Are realistic and achievable;
Are specific in order to be evaluated/measured
Use action verbs such as to determine, to measure, to identify, to verify, to calculate, to describe, and to establish. Avoid non-action verbs such as to study or to understand.
Examples of research objectives:
Business/Decision Problem – Johnny’s Sporting Goods Store would like to update its packaging material because they developed a new product line.
Research Objective 1 – Determine the consumer’s requirements and expectations of the packaging material for the new product line.
Research Objective 2 – Evaluate the effectiveness of different packaging designs and products (recycled, cardboard, plastic, foam, etc.
Business/Decision Problem – Trinity Methodist Church would like to increase local traffic to the website.
Research Objective 1 – Measure website awareness/visibility by using Google Analytics
Research Objective 2 – Isolate the target population (church goers) opportunity by determining if the opportunity is largest among new visitors (reach) or existing visitors (frequency).
Research Objective 3 – Evaluate the effectiveness of the current strategies used to drive consumers to the website.
Business/Decision Problem – Sharky’s Bar & Grille would like to improve employee morale.
Research Objective 1 – Measure the current level of employee morale at Sharky’s.
Research Objective 2 – Identify causal issues effecting employee morale (required dress code, shift hours, pay, benefits, etc.).
Research Objective 3 – Determine the best solutions for addressing the issues effecting employee morale at Sharky’s.
As the research objective examples above demonstrate, it is very common for a research problem statement to require more than one research objective.
Management Questions
1. What actions can Blackrock take to minimize its own carbon footprint in order for the company to comply with the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius?
Research Questions
1. Which ways of measuring and monitoring the emissions created by the firms in which Blackrock invests are the most effective, and why are these approaches so vitally important?
Problem Statement
As the world grapples with the significant issue posed by climate change, Blackrock is in a one-of-a-kind position to assist in mitigating the negative consequences of climate change. Blackrock is in this position as a result of its efforts to decrease its own carbon footprint as well as those of the firms in which it invests to lower their own carbon footprints. Blackrock is in a difficult position since it has both a fiduciary responsibility toward its investors and a moral imperative to take action against climate change. Because of this, the corporation faces a hard management issue. Blackrock is going to have to figure out how to strike a balance between these two commitments. To this end, Blackrock must determine the most effective methods for tracking and monitoring the emissions of the companies it invests in, as well as the best practices for reducing its own emissions, in order to ensure that these companies are in compliance with the Paris Agreement’s warming target of 1.5 degrees Celsius. In addition, Blackrock must determine the most effective methods for reducing its own emissions. In addition, it is necessary for Blackrock to discover the most efficient means of tracking and monitoring the emissions produced by the firms in which it invests, as well as the best strategies for decreasing the company’s own emissions.
It is vital to meticulously develop a research strategy in order to give this conundrum the attention to detail that it deserves. By obtaining responses to the major study questions that are listed below: How can Blackrock best track and monitor the emissions created by the firms in which it invests? What are the most effective methods? In the context of an investment company, what are the most effective methods for cutting emissions? Blackrock has the chance to increase its grasp of the strategies it will need to execute in order to accomplish its goals pertaining to climate change, and this is an excellent learning opportunity for the company. Blackrock will be able, as a result of this research, to conduct its business in a manner that is not only fiscally prudent but also ecologically sensitive, therefore contributing to the reduction of the harmful consequences that climate change will have on the world.
