Unit 3 – Individual Project – Selecting Strategy

Select an organizational issue, problem, or topic that you would like to research based on the work you did in unit one with the worksheets from the Abrams text. You have the option to either write a narrative 800-1,000-word paper or create a 6-8 PowerPoint slides (not including title/reference slides) describing your proposed research.

Either choice requires you to include the following information:

The business, organizational problem, or topic
The problem statement
The research strategy that you will use to explore the problem
1 research question
Your rationale for selecting your proposed research strategy
1 research instrument that you will use to collect data

In addition, you must develop a questionnaire or survey. Complete the following steps:

Create 5 questions for your questionnaire.
Send your research survey to at least 5 people (via email, survey monkey, or other options are fine).
You will interpret the results of this survey/questionnaire in Week 5

Introduction
Workplace communication contributes significantly to the company’s productivity. Consequently, reduced workplace communication leads to poor performance and overall inefficiency. In most cases, incompetent management lacks ways to relay information to the employees. When this happens, it is difficult to complete tasks in time. Unclear roles lead to wastage of time because employees will focus on additional activities other than what is required (Coombs, 2014). The goals are often not clear for the organization which leads to unmotivated employees.
