This is where you need to contain the scope and make Retail you main focus and state that early on and therefore refer back to best practice both from Industry and Academia in this field as you main research for the Literrature review and undertanding. Also you neeed to decide early on are you looking from Tiger out or from Customer in the main theme of your invetigations as you will find it very difficult to cover both aspects in enough detail unless you want to end up writing 50K-60K words.I believe you have made a good start in investigating the relationship between BPM and SCM but again you need to clearly state the focus is on the retail sector and make sure you do not make assumptions all sectors behave or respond in the same way.Cite industrial examples from the retail sector and make the references up to date where ever possible.The link to our guidance on Thesis writing is below:http://www.aral.com.au/resources/cperry.pdfAlso, please use the standard format for a UK top university.

RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES Completed in accordance with APA guidelines. Paper must use references that are scholarly such as peer reviewed journal articles and scientific books with specific page numbers that may be cited. Electronic online sources without page numbers are not acceptable as sources, neither are Wikipedia, online blogs, online newspapers, or other non peer reviewed sources. When writing a paper and when citing a reference, it is always important to make it clear to the reader where you have obtained your information and where the reader can locate it. There should be at least one literary citation for every page of written content and no less than 11 scholarly references for a 14 page paper. The paper structure should begin broadly then quickly narrow to look at your subject. Abstracts and running heads are fine. However, it is not necessary to include a results section. The results section would only be included if there were an experiment with an outcome. The purpose of the research paper is to demonstrate that students can do research using scholarly sources outside of the primary text and complete the written assignment using APA Style. THEREFORE, YOU CANNOT USE THE PRIMARY TEXT AS A SOURCE FOR THE RESEARCH PAPER. The SCHOLARLY SOURCES are important criteria. The paper must be word processed and double-spaced using 12-point font no larger and no smaller, with one inch margins all around. The paper must demonstrate APA style in the citation of references and in the structure of the reference lists. **Note from client: I will upload the chapter from the class required text so you know what not to use in the essay as the source that is referred to. Body Dysmorphic Disorder can be found on pages 201-203. Please do not use the material in the textbook chapter I send in the paper as the instructor was specific in saying that they want it from other scholarly sources outside of the text.
