Role of government-owned banks in economic development in Ma…

I have a draft of the whole report ready, but when i submitted it to the professor he was mad as i didnt follow the correct structure.

so he asked me to submit those three things before we can proceed with the rest:

• Your detailed methodology
• The research model
• The dataset

The first thing i need from you is the data set as my draft doesnt include any quantitive analysis.

as for the research model and the methodology they need some tweaking in order to match with the dataset.

As for the rest of the report, it needs to be reviewed and rewritten and the updates done with the data set and analysis you made need to be adjusted with the rest of the report.

This project is a Thesis for my MBA. I am requested to write a consulting report, abstract, outline, and a defense presentation. about the role of government-owned banks in economic development in Malaysia using the guidelines below:

A consulting report should include at least the following points (this is not a compulsory structure, coordination with the supervisor is needed):

1. Cover page

2. Summary

3. Problem description and environment

4. Consulting function

4.1 Objective and challenges

4.2 Method

4.3 Analysis

4.4 Recommendations

5. Literature

To maintain consistency across all these submitted, the following structure should be adhered to:

Front page or title page

Lock flag (optional)

Dedication (optional)

Acknowledgement (optional)

Abstract

I attached the literature review submitted to the supervisor and he gave the below comment:

Thank you for sending the LR to me. While as the first draft it is acceptable, I expected you to expand it further to include more scientific sources. At this stage you may need roughly between 25 to 30 references in total, or more.

More importantly, you should ensure that your analysis of these literatures are critical, and your LR provides comparison and contrasting of various works in the field.

While you continue reading relevant, authoritative literature, please ensure that you have some ideas for the Literature Gap, models, and are able to come up with relevant research questions and objectives based on the gaps and conceptual framework that you identified in your work.

i also will attach their version of the full report for your kind review and editing.

once done i would like to get a 15 minute defense presentation using the below guidelines:

The colloquium will be scheduled approximately 6 weeks after your official submission deadline and will take place in

consultation between the student and the supervisor, generally within 4 weeks. You will receive an invitation to this

appointment from your supervisor subject to passing the written part of your thesis.

In the colloquium, you must prove that you have fully and independently produced the content and conclusions of your

written work. The content of the colloquium is a presentation of the most important contents of the work and the results

of the research, followed by a question and answer session under the supervision of the experts. This is an oral

examination which usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes (15 minutes presentation and 15-30 minutes discussion/questions). The

weighting on the overall grade results from the respective exam regulations. The examiners/assessors holding the

colloquium assess the quality of the exam work based on the following assessment criteria:

Understanding and application of scientific methods of analysis

Structure and content of the presentation

Ability to academically defend the thesis

Content and logical consistency of answers to questions asked in the colloquium

The colloquium usually starts with a presentation. The presentation should show the whole research process, starting

with the research question and finishing with the conclusion. This should usually last 15 minutes. To avoid problems, you

must use Microsoft Office PowerPoint for the presentation
