Propose Research Project
You are a brand manager of a snack chip.

Developing Research Proposals Handout
Prepared by Ted Zorn, University of Waikato
This is a handout I often give to students when I expect them to provide a research proposal for a course project. That is, it's intended for fairly brief proposals, not a prospectus for a masters or doctoral thesis.
It gives students an example of the sort of thing I want, plus some commentary (in italics) about what I'm expecting in each section. I sometimes change the particular example given, in order to encourage them to think about particular kinds of projects. For instance, the example provided here was used in a Leadership Communication course. I've used the same format, but a different research project example, for a course on Organisational Communication Technology.
Feel free to adapt it to your purposes.
