HERE ARE MY PREVIEW PROBLEM STATEMENTS
EXAMPLE OF MY PROBLEM STATEMENT FROM SLP4:
About a study concerning the utilization of chronic illness preventive measures, among university students.
My two comments of two Problem Statements:
1) An innovation is an idea, practice, or object that is perceived to be new by an individual or other unit of adoption such as teams, groups, or departments (Rogers, 1995). To be an innovation, the ideas must add value to the organization. They may lead to new or improved products, services, systems, or work procedures. The ability to be innovative is critical in every industry in order to adapt to changing technologies and working conditions, to come up with new products, to take on new skills and jobs, and to stay competitive (Russel, 1990). Innovation is subject to influences from the individual, the organization, and the environment (Slappender, 1996). Historically, innovation in organizations has been studied primarily from the organization’s point of view (Damanpour, 1991, 1996; Gifford, 1992). Research has focused on the improvement of structure, structural relationships, networking, and categorization of types of organizations. 2) Leaders are the engines for envisioning and creating innovative products and services in organizations (Reeves-Ellington, 1998). In the quest to develop leaders, workplace learning and performance professionals can research and apply programs to foster innovation. The attributes of effective innovation leaders can be monitored and analyzed and company climates conducive to innovation can be benchmarked and emulated (Kalliath, 2002). Commitment to innovation as a culture is prevalent in organizations as it is commonly woven directly into mission statements. However, leaders still lack the ability to plan, measure, and implement innovative products and services. These challenges are exacerbated by the pressures to manage several different and often conflicting roles. The competencies that underpin these roles can be explored and developed by workplace learning and performance professionals.

I really enjoyed your problem statement. A problem statement speaks to the “purpose of the research study” (Newman, & Covrig, 2013). One found that you clearly defined, explained, and focused on leaders. Overall, great job.

Hello Jeremy,
Thank you for your awesome feedback. Leadership is one of the most important topics in the human sciences. It is important that leaders have evaluation criteria drawn from the problem statement to ensure the solution narrative describes how the solution overcomes or fails to address each part of the problem.
Thank you again.
Mesmer
