Q: How do I write the research background and problem statement for my topic?
My topic is ‘The roles of digital leadership in developing business model innovation in the telecommunications industry in Industry 4.0.’ I am confused about the background and the problem statement of my research. If you help me, I shall be able to write it properly. Thanks.
The background sets the context for your study. The problem statement is the expression of the problem of your study. You will be able to write the background and the problem statement after doing a comprehensive literature search of the broader problem. So, in your study, you will need to look at articles on Industry 4.0, the telecommunications industry and its present challenges and opportunities, digital leadership (including some leadership models in general), and potential business model innovations in the telecom industry where all the above aspects come into play. Both the background and the problem statement come in the Introduction section of your paper.
