Assignment Question
Topic: Analyzing Strategic Interactions in Global Supply Chains:
A Game Theoretical Approach This topic would explore how different players in international supply chains (like manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers) interact strategically, considering factors like competition, cooperation, and negotiation. It could also examine the impact of these interactions on supply chain efficiency, resilience, and innovation, using game theory as the analytical framework. The research should be stated as accurately as possible. The research proposal should address the following questions: What is your general topic? What questions do you want to answer? What is the key literature and its limitations? What are the main hypotheses of the work? What methodology do you intend to use? What are your case studies, if any, and what are your case selection criteria? In terms of formatting: The proposal word limit is 1500 words maximum. In addition to the above guidance the research proposal should outline and include the following: Working Title: Please state your research question or the working title of your research at the start of your research proposal. Keywords: Please include on the first page of the proposal up to 10 keywords or phrases which accurately reflect the content of your project (e.g., ‘digital innovation’, ‘fintech’, ‘identity’, ‘gender’, ’workplace discrimination’, ‘proactivity’, ‘digital platforms’).
Introduction to the research idea: What is your general topic? What questions do you want to answer? Why do you think these are interesting and important questions that deserve to be answered? What are the main hypotheses of the work?
Literature: What is the key literature and its limitations? Methodology: What research methods do you intend to use? What are the strengths and limitations of your chosen methodology?
Conclusion: In what ways will your ideas contribute to the field, and how will this help to change our understanding of your research topic? Bibliography: Please clearly reference any literature you have used in your research proposal (not included in the word count).
