The purpose of the MBA Research Paper or project is to allow students to demonstrate fulfillment of the research component requirement of an MBA program. While less rigorous than the MBA with Thesis program, the research paper is viewed as a contribution to knowledge resulting from the systematic study of a significant problem or issue in the field of business. The research paper--which is shorter than a thesis--identifies the problem, states the major assumptions, explains the significance of the undertaking, sets forth the sources for and methods of gathering information, analyzes the data, and offers conclusions, limitations and recommendations. The finished project evidences an understanding of business concepts, as well as critical and independent thinking and effective communication strategies.
