This is the first stage of preparing a Research Proposal that could be used as part of an application to undertake a research degree or to apply for funding to conduct the study. The purpose of writing the Research Proposal Brief early in the semester is to receive feedback about the suitability of the topic, so that by the time you complete and present the Research Proposal (in Week 12), the final submission is of a standard that could be used to support an application for a research degree or for research funding. For this assignment, students are required to consult an Industry Representative / Consultant or other approved person (this may include an academic staff member), to discuss their research project’s significance and feasibility. They will therefore revise their proposal or research question on the basis of the feedback. This assignment has two assessable components: the submission of a written Research Proposal Brief and its Feasibility Report, in academic format (1500 words), and a viva –voce oral PowerPoint presentation (5-7 minutes). This assignment is aimed at ensuring that the research project is important, realistic and manageable, and that the research question is appropriate and can be answered with the proposed methodology. It is crucial that the students can complete the research tasks in a timely manner and apply the relevant project management and research tools and techniques. The research feasibility report takes the research brief proposal to the consultant and investigates the possible continuation of the project and its realistic execution for the given time period and availability of resources, as well as taking into consideration the student’s capacity to carry on with the research task. Students can use a Gantt chart to keep track of their schedule for all assigned assessment tasks, and therefore, minimize risks. The feasibility analysis may result in feedback that suggests changes to the research approach and these can be incorporated in the Research Proposal. The reflection on the feedback is important for demonstrating that the feedback has been considered and suggesting how it may be acted upon, for example, by reconsidering or revising the scope of the topic or research question or revising the methodology. This is equivalent to the acceptance of the project charter for which the students have studied in their course. This assessment is worth 30% of the total marks for SBM1300 and forms the basis of the Research Design due in week 9 and worth 20% of the total marks in the unit. Students develop the Research Proposal across the semester incorporating several individual assignment tasks. The first of these is the Research Proposal Brief and its Feasibility. P a g e 3 | 18 For the Research Proposal Brief you need to prepare an outline of your proposed research topic and research plan using the template below.

Rationale of research design
In this research, the researchers have undertaken the descriptive and exploratory research design. Through these two research designs, the researchers have tried to find authentic conclusions to the subject matter of the research paper. The researchers have decided to undertake the descriptive and exploratory research design to understand the concepts of e-commerce penetration in Australia. These research designs have helped the researchers in analyzing the positive and negative impacts of e-commerce on consumerist behavior among Australians.
The researchers have undertaken the descriptive research because the descriptive design helps the researchers to find a bigger scope of the study by explaining the relevant subject matter with the theoretical analysis of consumer behaviors in Australia with the advent of the e-commerce sites in the country. The descriptive research design allowed the researchers to understand the positive and negative outcomes of the e-commerce business with relevance to Australian consumers (Ørngreen & Levinsen, 2017). With the help of the descriptive research design, the researchers have analysed the behaviors of the consumers through cross-border analysis of the project. The descriptive design allowed the researchers to analyse the trends of shopping habits by comparing them with Porter’s Five Forces analysis.
The researchers have also used the exploratory research design. Exploratory designs have several benefits. Therefore, the researchers have undertaken exploratory research designs. The researchers have explored the data by analyzing the consumer’s databases with online transactions in e-commerce. The researchers have undertaken the exploratory research design because it provides the researchers in changing the designs as per the requirement of the study (Ørngree & Levinsen, 2017). The behavioral patterns of the consumers in the e-commerce business section changes at a swift pace. Therefore, the researchers have undertaken the exploratory research design. Since exploratory research design helps in comparing the earlier stages of the study, it has helped the researchers in identifying and comparing the consumer’s behavior before and after the advent of e-commerce.
Research Design
As mentioned earlier, the researchers have undertaken descriptive and exploratory research designs. These designs have helped the researchers in getting access to the desired sources and the theoretical underpinnings with relevance to the e-commerce business (Snyder, 2019). The researchers have conducted a detailed survey of the country to get relevant information about the trends of e-commerce shopping within Australians.
The researchers have conducted a detailed global cross-border analysis survey that helped them to understand the trends among the behaviors of the consumers. The researchers have surveyed 100 potential customers of Australia. The respondents helped the researchers in understanding the shopping habits and the expectation of the shopping culture in Australia. The 100-sample size included regular household customers. The researchers have targeted this sample size so that the trends and expectations from e-commerce can be understood. Another reason for undertaking...
