Project Overview: The independent research study brings together all the learning experiences through the development of a final research proposal through to the completion of their research study. Each student is required to develop a research study which is based on the potential business planning for a new hospitality, tourism or leisure-oriented concept, or a diagnostic review for an existing organizational problem, the solution to which may be researched in both the fields of management research and corporate/organizational strategies.
Overall Aim: To bring together all previous course and learning experiences and apply these to the development of an independent research project.

Resources Available:
The use of the databases available to all students will be the base of the majority of students’ studies and they will be dependent on the specifics of their individual study. Data will also be available from both journalistic and academic sources, however, students are reminded that this study is directed towards the management practices in the real business world and thus the sources of data should predominantly come from those business and corporate sources.
