A brief presentation on the progress till date

Structure of the research project

Based on a quick discussion with Prof. Prithwis Mukerjee, my guide for AMRP, the following would be the basic structure for this research project :
(a) one or more hypothesis

(b) some data to test this hypothesis -- primary or secondary data

(c) usage of some of the tools learnt about in Business Research Methods class

(d) a conclusion in terms of acceptance or rejection of your hypotheses

Research Topic

I have chosen 'Business Intelligence Buying Criteria' as the topic for my research project.
The research aims at finding results to the question : 'What are the fundamental principles or buying criteria that organizations believe in when it comes to acquisition and deployment of Business Intelligence solutions?'
