Why choose this project topic?
This supplier management topic turns supplier-selection criteria used by small retailers into a focused final-year study. Its central question can be examined through voluntary owner interviews with no confidential quotes or supplier names, giving you a practical way to connect workplace evidence with a careful interpretation. The brief keeps employee privacy, access and inference limits visible as you plan the work.
Which criteria do small retailers report considering when selecting routine suppliers?
Choose the organisation, eligible role group, evidence period and approved analysis scope with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define an eligible sample and scope for supplier-selection criteria used by small retailers.
- 02Document the approved evidence relevant to supplier management.
- 03Interpret findings against the research question: Which criteria do small retailers report considering when selecting routine suppliers?
A suggested research approach
Use an ethics-approved, voluntary recruitment route independent of supervisors. Pilot neutral questions, avoid collecting identifying or sensitive employment details, and report aggregate findings with small-group suppression. Separate self-reported perceptions from administrative outcomes. The evidence plan centres on voluntary owner interviews with no confidential quotes or supplier names. Group stated criteria by availability, quality and service; do not rank named suppliers. Agree the population or document sample, timing and supervisor-approved analysis before data collection.
What you will need
- Voluntary owner interviews with no confidential quotes or supplier names
- A supervisor-approved recruitment, access and confidentiality plan.
- A defined coding or analysis framework for supplier management.
Keep your project scope clear
Self-reported views from a voluntary sample may reflect recall, selection or workplace-pressure effects; they do not establish employee performance or a causal effect.
