5.5 Please clarify the data­collection aspect of the methodology. In particular, the Participant Information Sheet refers to participants being surveyed and later also

refers to interviews. The insurance application also refers to interviews and survey by questionnaire. However, the response here refers only to interviews with

project managers and gives no information about the duration or location of interviews. Also, the nature of the’Questionnaire’ attachment suggests that it may be

intended as a list of interview questions rather than being a survey instrument but its purpose should be clear rather than a matter for speculation. If it’s actually

a questionnaire and interviews are also to be conducted as a separate undertaking, please attach a list of proposed interview questions or, if unstructured or semi­

structured, outline the scope of the interviews.

5.4 This response doesn’t address the prompt. Please review and revise ­ the need for, and value of, the research should be clearly stated; in addressing the

literature
aspect, please include relevant citations to entries in a reference list (and note that this should contain no more than 10 items; the current ‘References’ attachment

should be revised accordingly).
Type: Action; Responded:No; Resolved:No;
5.3 ‘Research questions’ are the things that a research activity is designed to explore/answer in order to achieve the research aims. This is not the same as the

questions to
be asked of participants in order to collect data that are subsequently used to answer the ‘research questions’. i.e. this response provides that latter, whereas the

former are required. Please amend.

research methodology will you employ?)
