Proposal writing can be challenging. Writing a Research Proposal: Practical guidelines for business students takes the reader through the necessary steps in a clear and logical manner in order to demystify the process and to successfully bridge the gap between theory and practice. The eight chapters in the book focus on different aspects of the proposal writing process, with end-of-chapter tasks reinforcing and consolidating the chapter's key teaching points. This book is aimed at students in masters and doctoral programmes at business schools, but it can be used successfully in other disciplines and by undergraduate students.
