While you may find it difficult to adequately express your central problem so briefly, the underlying reason behind this approach is to force you to focus on the central problem you will be examining and express it clearly and concisely. (Consider: why is this topic worthy of research, does this issue or problem need addressing/changing, if so what changes do you recommend, do you have a strategy in place, what impact will there be on employees, leadership, community, society).
