LO5: Synthesise research findings and make informed judgements in the light of these

Brief

Write a dissertation of 8000 words (±10%). Your dissertation is a structured PRIMARY  RESEARCH REPORT on the process and outcomes of a significant piece of independent research. Using the same guidance in Assessment I, you will extend your work into a much deeper critical analysis of your chosen topic.

In this you will examine the context of your research to provide motivation for your work; you will clarify the aims and objectives of your proposed research; demonstrate critical engagement with key areas of relevant literature, using this to develop an initial conceptual framework (Optional Element- Stretch and Challenge); you will present and justify the theoretical perspective underpinning your proposed research approach. You will contrast this with alternative perspectives, and use this to inform the systematic development of your research design (Optional Element- Stretch and Challenge); you will present and discuss your findings and their implications, and consider the limitations of your proposed approach; you will also reflect on your contributions and to what extent your proposed objectives were met.

Dissertations follow a standard format; a proforma with guidelines, structure and formatting requirements is available on Moodle. An indication of the main structure and contents is given below. However, basic guidance includes using a standard size 12 font, double line spaced following the suggested format below.

Your dissertation should be uploaded in Microsoft Word format1 to Moodle using the appropriate Turnitin submission link and a hard copy of your dissertation (with a white general cover sheet) may also be submitted via the Assignment Post-box in the Mall on or before Friday 12th December 2025. If there are restrictions in place which prevent this, then please email your supervisor and the Module Leader to advise as soon as you are aware of the issue.

The date of upload to Moodle will be taken as the date of submission.

The submission should include a front sheet which includes the module code and module name, a title “ - Research Proposal”, your name and your student number; an example is included in the Module Guide.

A table of contents is expected; and you should also include a table of figures, tables, etc. as appropriate.

You MUST include evidence of your interactions with your supervisor with the inclusion in your appendices of your Supervisors Log.

The recommended structure and contents (with suggested ranges for word counts) are as follows:

  • Copy(ies) of initial (qualitative coding) template(s), if used

It is advised that you use the appendix section to support your research activities. Additional elements, such as a glossary, may also be included.

The university has numerous support pages to assist you with your dissertation. Guidance on formatting and presentation requirements, including font sizes, line spacing, etc., are available on Moodle and discussed in class on a regular basis; and useful resource is available on LEAP: https://www.bolton.ac.uk/leaponline/Test/Search.aspx?search_keywords=dissertation.

Minimum Secondary Research Sources Requirements

It is expected that the Reference List will contain thirty to fifty sources, with no fewer than twenty high quality journal articles. Citations and references should follow the Harvard Referencing System: see https://www.bolton.ac.uk/leaponline/My-Academic- Development/My-Writing-Techniques/Referencing/Level-2/Harvard-Referencing.aspx.

Specific Assessment Criteria

This is a Primary Research Project. You therefore should retain ALL your primary research data, as this must be produced on demand by your supervisor/ module tutor. Failure to  provide this data will result in a Fail Assessment grade being awarded.

Submissions without evidencing primary research will be marked with a ‘fail grade’.

Appendix A provides a rubric identifying specific assessment criteria (rubric) for the elements identified in the proforma feedback sheet.

Appendix B contains a copy of the proforma feedback sheet that will be used to mark and provide summative feedback on the dissertation.

Please note that the General Assessment Criteria (see Module Guide) are a useful supplement to guide and indicate the general academic qualities expected at HE6.

All About BMP6001 Dissertation

BMP6001 Dissertation is the final research project on many University of Bolton business and management degrees. You pick a business-related topic, design your own research, collect data and then write an 8,000-word report that shows you can investigate a real organisational problem in a structured way.

What is BMP6001 Dissertation?

BMP6001 is a dissertation module usually taken in the last stage of a Business Management or related degree with the University of Bolton or its partner colleges. bolton.rl.talis.com+1

Instead of an exam, you work on one main research project across the year. You choose a topic linked to business, management, marketing, HR, finance or a similar area, then plan and carry out your own research with support from a supervisor.

The aim is to show that you can:

  • spot a sensible research question

  • find and understand academic reading on that question

  • choose and justify a research method

  • collect and analyse data

  • explain what your findings mean for theory and for practice.

What do you normally have to submit?

The exact weighting can change slightly between cohorts, but the pattern is usually:

  1. Research proposal and ethics form
    Early in the module you submit a proposal of around 1,500 words plus an ethics checklist. This sets out your working title, background to the topic, aims and objectives, basic literature, method, timescale and any ethical issues.

  2. Full dissertation
    The main piece is an 8,000-word dissertation (often about 70% of the module mark). It is a full research report, written in chapters, based on your own investigation.

  3. Reflective viva or oral presentation
    On some versions of the module, you also do a short viva (20–30 minutes) where you talk through your topic, literature, methods, findings and what you learned during the project.

So BMP6001 is not just “write a long essay”. It is more like a mini research journey from idea to final write-up.

Main learning outcomes in simple language

From the official briefs and support material, the module is designed to help you:

  • Choose a good topic – something realistic, focused and relevant to business or management.

  • Set clear objectives and questions – what you actually want to find out.

  • Review the literature – read books and journal articles, then explain what other writers have already said about your topic.

  • Design your research – pick a method (surveys, interviews, case study, secondary data, etc.) and explain why it fits your question.

  • Handle ethics properly – get permission where needed, protect participants, and treat data responsibly.

  • Collect and analyse data – gather information in a sensible way and use suitable tools to make sense of it.

  • Draw conclusions and recommendations – link your findings back to your aims, the literature and real business practice.

If you can do those things clearly and calmly, you are doing what the module is asking for.

What does the BMP6001 dissertation look like?

The university usually gives you a template or pro-forma, but most dissertations on BMP6001 follow a similar structure:

  1. Introduction

    • Sets the scene for the study

    • Explains the background and why the topic matters

    • States the research aim, objectives and sometimes questions

  2. Literature review

    • Summarises key theories, models and debates linked to your topic

    • Shows where there is a “gap” or issue your project will explore

  3. Methodology

    • Explains your research approach (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, mixed)

    • Describes how you collected data (e.g. survey, interviews, company documents)

    • Covers sampling, access, reliability, validity and ethics

  4. Findings / results

    • Presents what you actually found from your data, often with tables, charts or themes

  5. Discussion

    • Explains what the findings mean

    • Links back to the literature and shows where your results agree or disagree with other studies

  6. Conclusion and recommendations

    • Summarises the key points

    • States how far your objectives were met

    • Offers practical suggestions for organisations and sometimes ideas for future research

  7. References and appendices

    • Full reference list in the required style

    • Extra material such as questionnaires, interview guides or extra tables

You are marked not just on what you say, but on how well you organise, present and reference the work.

Typical topics students choose

BMP6001 is flexible. You can focus on many areas of business and management as long as you can frame a clear question. Past examples (from public samples and help sites) include:

  • Human resource management – e.g. employee engagement, talent acquisition, training and development

  • Leadership and organisational change – e.g. how leadership style affects staff performance

  • Marketing and consumer behaviour – e.g. the impact of green marketing on brand image or sales

  • Corporate social responsibility and ethics – e.g. how CSR shapes customer attitudes

  • Retail, hospitality or small business case studies – e.g. how a specific company handles a current challenge

  • Healthcare or public-sector management topics in some partner colleges

Your topic should be:

  • narrow enough to complete within the time and word limit

  • broad enough to find relevant literature and data

  • realistic in terms of access (you need to be able to get information).

What markers usually look for

From the marking guidance and briefs, strong BMP6001 dissertations tend to have:

  • a clear, focused aim and sensible objectives

  • good use of academic sources, not just websites

  • a method that is explained, not just named

  • data that is presented clearly and linked back to the objectives

  • a discussion that shows you can think critically, not just describe

  • tidy presentation, accurate spelling and grammar, and consistent referencing.

You do not have to sound like a professor. Simple, steady writing that shows you understand your topic is more important than long, complicated sentences.

Why BMP6001 matters for you

Completing BMP6001 shows that you can:

  • work independently over several months

  • manage a larger project from start to finish

  • handle real data and make sense of it

  • write a long, structured report in clear English.

These are skills employers value, especially for roles that involve analysis, reporting, problem-solving or project work. Many students also use their dissertation topic in job interviews, on their CV or as a starting point for future postgraduate study.

It’s your final research project on the business course, where you pick a business topic, collect real data and write it up as a long report.

It is around 8,000 words, plus references and any appendices your university asks for. SPSS software is also required.

Pick something you are genuinely interested in, linked to business or management, where you can get enough information or access to data.

They want a clear aim, a sensible method, proper use of sources, data that is explained, and a conclusion that answers your research question.
