Develop the problem statement:

The problem statement is a direct statement that defines the problem you will address in your research study. Problem statement should be only one paragraph of 4 sentences and 100 – 200 words. One well developed sentence for each criteria of the rubric.

The Hook is a description of the problem using a peer-reviewed source that proves that a general problem exists. This Hook sentence defines the problem as viewed from a published expert’s perspective. This is a fact used to hook the readers interest. Use a citation from this published expert’s literature to support the statement.

The Anchor is an additional statement that supports the previously noted expert’s perspective, but includes a number, metric, or measurement of the baseline status of the problem. This numerical fact must come from a reliable source, such as US Census data. Support this statement with a citation from the source.

A study should address a business problem experienced by many organizations. Be specific about listing the general business problem that is experienced by many organizations. The research study must address a problem that other organizations can learn from and adopt or adapt the solution to the organizational problem. This is how the doctoral study impacts social change to society.

Identify the specific business problem to be studied as experienced by the organization where you will apply your research. This is the specific area where you will conduct your study. This statement should be about the organization and/or area where you will focus your research study.

(a) Research Question

Using the information written in your problem statement, develop a single paragraph that describes the problem. Develop one clear research question that will guide the data collection of the research study. The Research Question defines why the study is being conducted in a question format (about 10-15 words). This is not an interview question, but the overarching question for the doctoral research study. Each study should have one overarching question that encompasses all possible questions in the study. Mixed-methods research study may have two research questions, one for qualitative and one for quantitative portions of the study.
