- A field: I limit myself to a particular sector, such period. Try to fit the subject and scope to your level and your means. Research on teleshopping since its origins in all places and in all its aspects far beyond your capabilities. Reduced to a study of recent storage strategies and logistics in France in the field of fresh produce that is treatable in the constraints. A feasibility condition of the subject is that you have facilities contact, observation and access to documents in an enterprise or organization in this field.
- An issue I address the subject of such a view and explicitly asking a series of questions related to each other and making assumptions. A theme is not a subject. It is not enough to say you want to work on the quality of the VPC, the e -learning… We need more like you to clarify what your angle of attack of this theme, you choose the definition of key concepts this theme issues (economic, social, epistemological, managerial… ) you ask (and possibly others arise ), the assumptions you make a priori. In short, he must first rebuild its research object.
- Assumptions: in most cases you do not go in the fog but working hypotheses that come to both your reading and your opinions. There ‘s interest to clarify them. If you go with only certainties, all your work is useless. If you have no idea of the possible answers to your questions, it is almost certain that you will go in all directions and can not succeed. When assumptions are made, the role of work involved will choose the methodology that will confirm or refute these hypotheses.
- Methodology: I ‘m going to take so to produce an answer to these questions. As others have already deflowered topic your task is not to repeat their search but to advance the issue by bringing new elements. These developments can not be just your opinion on the subject but an argument for some answers to questions that will be based on objective factors: the regulatory texts, statistics, field observations, statements of facts, expert opinion or social and professional actors, “measures” of opinion. Hence the need for sources of information and ( social business group, organization, market… ) investigation field.
