The Marketing Science Institute (MSI) is a highly-regarded organization that researches and publishes of new trends in strategic and functional marketing. Its research agenda often sets the pulse for both academic and practical research.
For your class project, you will choose one of the research areas/questions identified in the MSI report and will develop a research proposal to address research questions (RQs) refined from the MSI report from a specific research perspective. Your final proposal will include both secondary data collection through a literature review and a proposed primary data research design (you will not be conducting primary research but designing the tools for a hypothetical situation).
Project Part 1: Literature Review Outline with Refined Research Questions

Conducting a literature review or review of secondary data helps in framing primary research projects, providing context for issues, informs what research had already been performed, and gives key insights into new or developing ideas and trends. For this part of the project, please complete the following and see submission guidelines below:
