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.
