Developing my research questions further

Visible to anyone in the world

Having read Bell et al (2019) and Marx (1997) it is apparent that my statement of project research can be 'fine tuned'. By turning this into a research type statement, it can be fine tuned as follows:

'An exploration of how delivering complex engineering solutions in the new 'Energy Transition' market segments cannot use current out dated processes' 

This also allows refinement of my sub questions, making sure they are researchable, and connected to established theories, these are:

Would an implicit R&D strategy and process help engineering delivery efficiency?

Would the use of technology already developed through partnerships or vendors speed up the design and therefore delivery process?

Would upfront investment in R&D technology out with a client Job help for future delivery? 

Would the use of consultants allow processes/engineering shortfalls to be addressed, taking the pressure off the Engineers doing the work.
