Q: What do I write in my problem statement?
Please tell me what to write in my problem statement. My research topic is "Impact of macroeconomic indicators on performance of manufacturing firms."
A statement of a problem is a brief, clear, and precise explanation of an issue that the researcher wants to study. It includes a vision, issue statement, and a proposed method to solve the problem. The 5 'W's - Who, What, Where, When and Why - can be used to define a problem statement. While it would not be possible for me to suggest a statement of the problem in your subject area, we have published quite a few articles that would help you to understand how to write the statement of a problem.
Please go through these tutorials carefully and try to come up with a problem statement for your research. You can also discuss your ideas with your professor or seniors who might help you to come up with a framework and you can fill in the details depending upon what you are explicitly studying.:

Absolutely, Anthony! The 5 Ws are always a great guide to solving many a problem, research or otherwise. :-)
