South East Projects CEO Seeks Research Methodology for Strategic
Intent
South East Projects hired Mazurka Consultancy to provide
research methodologies training to junior project managers. Mr.
Peters Troy believed that a greater understanding of research
methodologies would improve junior project managers' performance as
well as their ability to become senior project managers. South East
Projects is a business that was founded in the year 2008. It
manages projects for a variety of organizations who use a
project-based approach to their work. Dr Mazurka would be in charge
of the training, which would also include Professor Holani and Dr
Dzvuka. Professor Holani stressed the need of having a thorough
understanding of literature reviews and the importance of doing a
critical evaluation of the literature as well.
He said that critically analysing the literature would be a good
place to start while conducting research. The major purpose of
critical review, according to Professor Holani, is to help one get
a full grasp and insight into significant historical research and
current trends. He goes on to say that the research approach one
plans to use will establish the exact goal of the literature
review. The lecture on the literature review follows a training
session on the nature of business and management research, as well
as the design and clarification of the research topic.
After a few sessions near the end of the training, it became
clear that the majority of the junior project managers were having
considerable difficulties understanding specific aspects of what
they were being taught.
The following topics accounted for the majority of the problems
identified:
 Formulation of research design
 Understanding research philosophies and approaches
 Conducting the literature review
 Formulating and clarifying the research topic; and
 Understanding the nature of business and management research.
Interventions were made to ensure that the concerns identified
were addressed, and the training was eventually successful. Mr.
Peters Troy was pleased with the training's progress and was
optimistic that he now has a team capable of attaining any desired
outcomes.
Question 1
Assuming that you are one of the junior project managers
identified in the case study, you seek clarity in understanding
certain concepts from the training. Highlight the importance of
management research, effective methods to a strong research topic,
and awareness of research philosophies. (10 Marks)
Question 2

Professor Holani's instructions on literature reviews show that
corporate research might not always be the same as academic
research. Select a company of choice and assess whether or not they
conduct a literature review when undertaking their own business
research. Based on your findings conduct a benefit analysis of
critically reviewing literature. (10 Marks)
Question 3

Assuming you were a member of Dr Mazurka's training and development
team, provide a detailed presentation that best analyses the
research design formulation. (10 Marks)
