1 | INTRODUCTION / WELCOME |

| |

| Welcome to the Investigative Study Project (BHS0031) module. This module aims to support you in developing your research skills, including reviewing, synthesising and critically analysing various literature through investigating a business management topic of your choice. Yet, a pre-defined list of topics generated collectively by the project advisors will be available for you to support you in your selection. The module is delivered through an initial seminar programme followed by a guided self-managed study programme, where each student will work closely with an allocated supervisor. |
