A research title capsulizes the
main thought or idea of the
whole research paper. It also
reflects the variables under
study.
4. Moles
Research title is the most
important element of your
research as it clearly expresses
the problem to be explored.
5. Moles
It is expressed in few words
possible and just enough to
describe the contents and the
purpose of your research.
⮚ It needs to be informative.

Concept Paper
1. Concept paper title
Example: Leveraging on Mobile Payment
Methods to gain Competitive Advantage
by local based businesses
15. 2. Introduction
Mobile payment methods have popularity with big businesses
operating in large towns and cities across the world. These payment
methods enable the business customers to access their cash at the
point of sale and do not need to have physical money to complete
their transactions. This study will therefore help in understanding the
mobile payment methods preferences for the local based business
and how and why these preferences have failed to prevail. The
research will therefore address that gap that is viewed as the low
uptake of mobile payment methods by the local based businesses
which are essentially operating in remote areas. This concept builds
upon the various insights that have been undertaken by various
researchers in the business and information technology field to
bridge the gap of strategic implementation of information
technology systems in business to gain competitive advantage.
16. 3. Need for this Study
• It is estimated that more than 5 billion people have access to mobile phone
devices and that out of this figure about a third of the population is based
in local areas. Further, the village-based businesses do not have
immediately access to the physical money banking system as they are
located kilometers away. Porter (2011) notes that in order for businesses to
achieve and sustain superior performance, they must be able to implement
systems that are competitively superior. Budree and Williams (2013,
September) and Namada (2018) established that the areas with large
number of low-income earners experienced low uptake technological
advancements and businesses in these locations are not keen on leveraging
on technology. The concept will therefore be intended to identify the salient
factors that local businesses can apply in leveraging on mobile payment
methods to gain competitive advantage.
The title should be as brief as possible and to the point such
that by a glance one would know exactly the paper’s intention
Introduce the concept by giving a brief on how it will contribute to the organization or company
having more opportunities as a result. Also, state your understanding of the main objective of the
targeted area of implementation clearly introducing the gap intended to be addressed. An
introduction is like the sitting room of the concept paper as it determines a lot on the person
proposing the concept.
The need of the study should have a concrete evidence in the sense that the source of the
need must be documented and verifiable. It is also important to look at what other scholars have
done on the concept previously, and whether this is enough to answer the questions intended for
the study
