I just need some direction by providing a brief statement from the article for each step and the page number of the information to get me started.
Case Analysis
The assignments on research you have completed so far have taken you through a step-by-step process on how to develop and design formal research. In this capstone assignment, you will use all the knowledge and skills you have developed over the past weeks and apply it to a published research as part of a group activity.
The group analysis should be framed against each and every one of the steps presented in the Sekaran (2003) research process and founded on the skills developed in previous assignments of this course.

The analysis itself should be a comparative assessment of how well the author (or authors) of the selected research have fulfilled (or not) each of the steps and sub-steps presented in figure 4.1 of the textbook. The focus of the analysis should be on the research process, not as much on the research content itself. Be careful not to paraphrase what the author(s) has already stated in the published research. Again the analysis should be on assessing the adherence to the research process. Look at not only each step (and sub steps) but also but also how each step serves as a "stepping stone" for the next step. The interrelationships among the steps are also relevant to the analysis.
The specific published research selected for the group project should have between 15-25 pages in length, recently published (2001 or better) and contain the basic components of a formal research project (a literature review, statement of the problem, hypothesis or hypotheses, data collected and analyzed to test the stated hypothesis, etc.), preferably of a business related topic. The study can be quantitative, qualitative or mixed. Remember to include the source of the study as one of the citations in your fully APA formatted references section so your instructor can search and review, if necessary.
