Problem and Purpose Statement Construction
Articulation of a concise problem and purpose statement is key to a successful research study manuscript. The ability to investigate and evaluate a specific problem in the industry is relevant to leaders as they can learn from collective knowledge in their prospective field of specialization. Regardless of the problem, a business related study requires the exercise of reasonable consideration for various issues in similar specializations and industries. Purpose statements extend the problem statement by providing a concrete and compelling reason to perform the study. In a business environment, the purpose statement should compel the reader to consider the research approach as a solution that will guide the study.
