How Covid-19 has accelerated a digital transformation

For this assignment, you will conduct your own research study examining a question that is relevant to you through primary and secondary research. As we have already learned, primary research includes an interview, survey, and/or observation. Secondary research includes extensive library research and use of databases to discover relevant journal articles and credible websites to provide the background of your issue.

Audience: Since this is your own question, you need to decide who is the audience for your paper. Who are you trying to convince? Where might this paper be published?

Assignment Details: Specific requirements for this project include: A research question that you cannot easily find the answer to within published articles. A 6-8 page research paper in APA format throughout (Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins).

You will have a Cover page, Abstract, Reference page, and Appendix; however, none will count towards the page-length requirement Supporting details from primary and secondary research methods Organized via the IMRAD pattern

Paper Format: Cover Page (page 1) Abstract (page 2): Write a 150-300 word synopsis of your research paper (This is best completed after you write your paper.

Essay (pages 3-8+) will use the following headers: Introduction (also known as the Literature Review): The first paragraph should engage your readers & introduce your topic

The remaining section (approximately 1.5-2 pages of your essay) provides your secondary research.
