Argh! How do I find a research topic?

Trying to get your first idea if you are a 'blank page' can be a problem.

Remember that this is a management problem, so you need to find a project with strong links to a management issue.

Material on the BUS750 course research topic can be found here. Reading through all the instructions on the home page on Moodle this may be enough to get you started.

However, if not, lots of people have come up with check-lists that you can go through to generate some yeast starters which will hopefully lead to a research idea.
