Description of module content:

The final project is the culminating part of the MSc Digital Transformation Management. You will be provided with a list of real-life problems experienced by our external stakeholders when dealing with digital transformation. From this list, you will select one problem that you will be investigating in your final project, applying the knowledge and skills developed throughout the MSc. You will be working independently under the supervision of your project supervisor. Drawing on the project description and presentation developed as part of 'SOE11169 - Final Project Development', you will be required to identify appropriate theoretical angles, analytical approaches and data sources to conduct primary research on selected problem, explore its causes and develop ad-hoc guidance for practitioners dealing with these issues.The process and outcomes of your project will be outlined in a written report and a short presentation, which will be shared with our external stakeholders to inform and support their future managerial practices.Throughout this project, you are expected to abide by research ethics regulations in place at ENU Business School, work independently, manage your time effectively, and communicate regularly with your project supervisor.

Problem-setting: in this section, you will describe the real-life problem investigated in your project, using relevant references and contextual information.2. Problem-framing: you will outline the theoretical angle through which the real-life problem is analysed in your project.3. Data and methods: you will describe and justify the methods and data sources applied to conduct this project.4. Findings: you will present and analyse the evidence emerging from your data, applying the theoretical framing articulated in Section 2.5. Problem-solving: your will expose how the findings presented in Section 4 can contribute to solve the problem articulated in Section 1 by expanding our understanding of its causes and providing new guidance for practitioners dealing with this issue.When writing your report, you will be targeting an academic and professional audience. Hence you will be required to abide by the rules and style of academic writing, including referencing.
