Consulting Research Questions


Consulting Research Questions


Introductory Paragraph: 
           The purpose of this paper is to develop research questions that respond to the requirements of this assignment.  There have been issues in the Advertising Department. One approach to solving these issues is to get to the root of the problem, by developing research questions to address these issues by examining why the problems are occurring in the first place.  An additional area of interest is what can be done to prevent them in the future.
           Using research questions is a best management practice and can be very helpful to improve the performance within the organization. Performance management is known to be personal and can also be a “threatening process for Both Managers and Employees” (Pulakos, PG 13) according to the reading Effective Practice guidelines. The primary research question areas for this study will address issues with Leadership and the improvements that are needed.
Why management do not have an understanding of the IT systems and PowerPoint application?

What training can be provided to management in order to be more effective communicators and for them to make better use of the information management system?

What is management going to do in regards to sharing too much information with the interns?
What steps is Management taking in order to improve on making ethical decisions?

Organizational Structure, Management, and Leadership
What different techniques can the department use to get more clients each week?
Has the Advertising Department come up with any other options they can use in order to give more work to the interns?
Is there any additional resources or training that can be made available to the interns?






Impact of Economics, Law, and Government on Value Creation
Has University Consulting Services started research in regards to the different laws?
What steps is University Consulting Services going to take in regards to going global?
Is there any basic training that can be provided to the new Director and Manager?

Career Knowledge, Skills, Abilities and Behaviors
Is there any additional training for the interns on how to create power points?
What resources is the department using when working for clients?
Has the department implemented a strategic plan for achieving their long-term goals?





Conclusion:
The questions selected are to help management in their fact finding investigation and make it easier for them to have the open dialog with the interns.
It is clear to see that when the department starts addressing these Research Questions it would help them identify the main causes of the issues that are affecting the interns and allow them to develop different techniques to prevent them from re-occurring. This should improve the advertising department’s performance, therefore making the organization more successful.
