Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to provide a discussion of the application of the research pitch template developed by Faff (2015,2016b) to a research topic on whistle-blowing. Specifically, the template was used to develop a research proposal that investigates whether government administered financial rewards undermine a firm’s internal whistle-blowing system. This letter provides a brief commentary on using the pitch template and then discusses personal reflections on the pitch exercise. Design/methodology/approach - This paper applies the template of Faff (2015) and provides a narrative of the pitching exercise. Findings - As a first-time user of Faff’s (2015) pitching template, I have found the template very helpful in articulating the essence of this research project and mapping out the fundamentals for the project. Originality/value - This is a new research idea that is not a pitch retrofitted from published papers or theses. The pitch template was used for the purposes of developing and refining the research idea.
