Project description
Doctoral Research Design
1-The second assessment focusses on a potential research design, which draws on the findings of your literature review
2-How your (provisional) research questions could be answered
3Conceptual framework (drawing on the literature)
4Research design to be employed?
5-How and why that design is appropriate
6(Remember Yins comment: research design deals with a logical problem, rather than a logistical problem)

Research design in E-commerce and social commerce: understanding the difference and an investigation of purchasing behaviors of consumers in the two sectors
1-Abstract
1. Problem statement formation
2. Construction of objectives and scope of the research
3.Construction of research methodology (theories, qualitative, quantitative) and method (instruments) used in the investigation.
4. Results and findings without adding any comments of your own
5. Conclusion and a concise outline of its significance
2-Introduction
1.Tell the reader about your problem.
2. Tell the reader who is suffering from that problem?
3. How you going to solve that problem?
4. Tell the reader that you are qualified and equipped with the right methods of solving that problem.
5. Tell the reader the benefits you offer by solving that problem?
6. Tell the reader what results you anticipate.
7. Make sure to tell what is the most important to them. No more, no less and stand for your claim.
3- Problem Statement
1. What is the problem? What?
2. Where is the problem? Where?
3. How to solve the problem? How?
4. Why you want to solve the problem? Why?
5. Is the problem current?
6. Will the problem continue in the future if it is not solved?
7. Who is suffering by that problem?
8. Will this problem prove or disprove the existing knowledge?
4- Research Questions
1. Choose a topic that interests you and your readers.
2. Make an investigation on your topic by going through scholarly journals and see what questions are raised by your peers. Take note of what questions are not raised so that you elevate it.
3. Your research questions should not be answered by simple facts; it must require critical analysis and field tested research. It must be provoking and requires significant examination.
4. Your research questions should be neither very broad nor very narrow.
If too narrow, you will have difficulty in finding relevant information.
5. Do not forget to show your research questions to your supervisors before going into details of it.
6.Write the hypothesis section
5- Literature Review
1. Does the literature review discuss about authenticity of his problem statement?
2. Does the literature review significantly support the severity of his problem statement?
3. Does the researcher agree or disagree with existing knowledge, and why?
4. Is his/her final judgment or conclusion is sound, logical and persuasive?
5. Does the researcher find literatures that prove or disprove his problem statement?
6- Methodology
1. Choose your methodology based on the type of research you are conducting.
2. Institute a clear and concise affiliation between your study and your methodology.
3. Ask yourself whether this methodology answers your research questions?
4. Provide meaningful reason for choosing your methodology such as literature review.
5. Divide your method into research design, population, sample, instrument, validity, reliability, results and
implementation phases.
6. Most importantly, are you comfortable with it?
7. Please draw the research Model which shows the dependent variable.
8.For the eserch model, add the definition from the literature review attached and the questions that we have got from the literature review attached to measure it in the questionnaire.Please refer to the article for each construct.
9- the limitation for the study that are going to be on the study.by referring to the literature review.
7-ethical consideration
8- Results
1. Make an introduction (Few lines) at the beginning and a summary (Few lines) at the end of your result chapter. It is nice to inform your readers that what you are about to do and what you have done so far. Make a habit of doing the same to all of your chapters.
2. Analyze your qualitative data (interviews, survey responses, emails, your own notes, observations, feedback, questionnaires)and quantitative data (statistics, percentages and numbers).Use Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze (means, S-D, Frequencies, percentages) your data. If you are not expert in SPSS, hire an expert to do the calculation for you.
3. Use deductive (from general to specific) and inductive (from specific to general) to organize collected data. Organize your data based on your research questions and hypothesis.
4. Display your data based on relationships among the collected data and look for supporting evidence. 5. Cross check your data few times for reliability and validity.
6. So, what did you find from your experimentation? Report without adding any comments of your own.
7. What were the differences? If you are making a comparison. Use T-Test to compare.
8. Analyze your findings to see if it answers your research questions and finds a solution to your problem statement. Again, avoid making any comments of your own. Save your energy for the conclusion and discussion chapter. Do not forget to report your results in the present form because it sounds soothing and original. Example: The interviews indicate that.result shows that..
9-Conclusion and Discussion
1. Explain in plain English what we understand now that we did not understand before. Write for your readers not for yourself. Never mention the words I, We or I found that and so on.
2. Interpret your problem statement and show with evidence from your literature review section that you have indeed bridged a major gap in knowledge.
3. Interpret your hypothesis and problem statement with evidence from your literature review section and give logical reasoning that what you have claimed is in fact true (Dont worry; if it is negative or positive still significant). For example, a study claimed that Magnesium chloride is not the solution for depression. However, your experimental results show that magnesium chloride is in fact the solution for fighting severe depression. Here you are! Start reasoning and give evidence from scholarly publications that support your hypothesis. Those supportive references should be in your literature review chapter.
4. Discuss and reason about the significant contribution of your experimental research and argue that you have solved a major problem if not it would have continued in the future.
5. Make sure that you reconnect your claims with lots of documented evidence from your literature review to interpret your findings. Lastly do not forget to be concise and to the point, no more no less.
Important information to be use:
1-Population for the study is going to in Saudi university in Saudi Arabia, About last year student in business department.
2–The sample should be 370 as the population is going to be 10000 for the real study or can you please figure out how we can know the number of the subject from the literature, refer to top journal to give our justifications and some example of measuring the sample needed.(https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/) and https://www.checkmarket.com/2013/02/how-to-estimate-your-population-and-survey-sample-size/.
3-When we write the methodology section we should say why we chosen the quantitative? and add justification and from known resources(Top Journals from ABS list) and please also refer to the literature review attached.
4–Please specify why we have chosen a random sampling method and put
