What Is The Role Of Management In The Development Of Culture: Leadership And Management Research Paper, UOL, Ireland

Task 1: At the moment the problem statement is “What is the role of management in the development of culture”.

Inquiry-Based Research involves deriving conclusions from data and evidence to solve organizational problems. The focus of your project should be Exploratory Research, supported by Descriptive Research. Your problem stated is focused only on the information-gathering part of this, the descriptive portion, identifying the role of management in culture formation. However, the second part, applying to an organizational problem, is not focused on here. What is the organizational problem that this will help you solve? How will you use it to solve an organizational problem?

Looking at the examples you gave here, example 4 is the only one that gives any feeling of an “applied” approach to solving a problem. I would recommend you explore this aspect further in reworking your problem statement. You also should be more precise here, examples 2 and 3 do not address the role of management at all. So either they should be removed, or the problem statement expanded.

Task 2: Interesting research objectives. Can you please revise these once you have adjusted your research question?

Task 3: Primary Research: This is much stronger now.

The questionnaire questions do not explore the primary problem statement as they do not explore the role of management. Additionally, the factors that make up “organizational culture” are not reflected in either set of questions. This seems to focus more on the perceived relationship between employees and management than on culture. I do think your data collection tools will need to be developed further before you use them. Can you please review these once you have refined your research problem statement?
