Paper instructions:
Note: To formulate a prob statement, focus on why is it an issue, a problematic that it need to be studied academically

We have always seen problem been issued on women & business on incentive, empowerment and encouragement but the approach here is different

While looking for many ways to help these women, lets look @ their empowerment in terms of family, culture of expectation, what is the additional hidden agenda

Is it even good to run business online? Are they doing any better than being employed? Is business online more empowering economically?

(Pls rephrase to include all these as intro to prob statement)
Issues like:
-medical well being
-who will provide security to their business when they are on aternity
-double burden
-Economically empowering?
-Not to be physically outside meeting people anymore?

In order to give true economic benefit, it is also important to understand and study these aspect

We need to generate questions from the value people are. Has sense of empowerment.

Under Self Empowerment:

What is the traditional form of women empowerment? Are women necessarily made richer from their previous position? Eg: From CEO to Doing Business Online

To look for alternative form of empowerment

Empowerment within the family

Does these online business women feel the sense of decision making? Do their husband acknowledge equal decision power or if there is any equality exist? Do they own their own time? Do they even have any say on where their money goes?

Agency: Do women in online business still go under their husband taxation?

Support: Is there even room to discuss support needed from husband or family? Who decide about children? Who decide about where money goes?

Empowerment: The value of your decision is equal to your partner. Agency: Nobody condition on yourself financially. WellBeing: The sense of happiness & contentment that that person is

WellBeing: The sense of happiness & contentment that that person is contributing financially

BH – kindly include all elements mentioned above to be rephrased beautifully as intro in problem statement and content in research questions

Kindly change all research question to  the following:

RQ1: What are the experience gained by women doing business online? (By studying day to day activities & processes)

RQ2: What is the nature of empowerment when women are involve in online business?

RQ3: Pls come out with question on AGENCY BH…

RQ4: Pls come out with question on WELLBEING BH…

Problem Statement

Project description
The goals of the first writing activity are to get you:

thinking about potential topics for the major assignment and
to begin grappling with issues of purpose, audience, and persuasion.

The activity is an informal BUT STILL PROFESSIONAL identification of a problem. The problem might be at your company, at a different company, related to municipal infrastructure, or whatever scenario you pick. Your mode of communication is a short email of around 150-200 words.

Your problem statement should broadly deal with the 5Ws: what, who, when, where and why. You arent expected to present any solutions at this time. Your job is simply to identify a problem and highlight the need for further investigation.

In your problem statement you should:

Provide context. Briefly educate your reader on the general and specific background.
Provide a detailed description of the problem. Be as specific as possible in the space constraints. In providing specifics, offer rationale for dealing with the problem (i.e., how does the problem affect operations or costs). Keep this axiom in mind: a problem clearly stated is half-solved.

Note that we are at the idea-generation phase of the major assignment. You are not bound to this topic, nor are you expected to have done extensive research on the topic. You should do enough research to flag a problem in a way that is informal and preliminary yet still builds your credibility.

Formatting Requirements:

Be sure to include a subject line, formal salutations, proper formatting, tone, visual structure, closing remarks and sign-off.
