Course Details
Core Subjects
BUS 600: Business Research Methods
In business, proper research can be the difference between failure or success. Understanding the processes involved in business research is crucial to your development as a leader. This course introduces the components of Research Methods that you need not as an academic, but rather as a business leader who seeks to be well-informed and ready to make important decisions for your organization – now and in the future. This is also an applied, project-based course in which every learning activity relates to a course-long project you will develop about a business problem you want to study, investigate, learn about, and conduct research about. By the time you conclude this course, you will be fully empowered to either begin making decisions about resolution of the business problem, or launch your research project, if further data collection is required. Regardless of the option you choose, everything you complete in this course will be a practical application of the concepts studied.
