Overview

The Doctoral Thesis Proposal is the first step in the final thesis journey. Getting it right from the start reduces the false starts and rework during the thesis process.

Identifying the organisational environment you are dealing with, your place within that environment and your ability to influence any change undertaken all contribute to the success of your research. Defining the research problem grounded in academic literature, along with your action research orientation and appropriate methods are all components of the thesis proposal; as is identifying how the research relates to the design, implementation/evaluation of the resultant managerial action. This overall description of the intended structure of your thesis will help guide your narrative of your argument and reflection as you progressively deliver your research.

 

Key Take-Aways

Participants in this webinar will gain a better understanding on:

  1. To know how to systematically develop your thesis research proposal.
  2. To understand the‘right size’ of a thesis research project.
  3. To be aware about possible pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Hosts
Dr. Andreas Meiszner

Since 2012, I have tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid to seniors, aged 35 to 70) both with the University of Liverpool Management School’s Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program (UK), and since 2016 also with DoctorateHub. This allowed me to understand how to tackle problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked.

500+ students also implies 500+ workplace-based problems which I had the chance to look at. And while working with such an array of problems allows for quite some learningit also has shown to me that very often it is quite exhaustive for such grown up and seasoned research novices. In response to this, we thus decided to set up the DoctorateHub, so to provide training, mentoring, and coaching services to all those that struggle to get their workplace-based issues identified, analysed, understood, written up in a thesis, and ultimately resolved. 

I am also one of the DoctorateHub’s Co-founders with a particular focus on strategic development and building up of the various DoctorateHub support services that we provide. 

With this I am looking forward to work with you, wherever you are in your doctoral research journey.

Learning from people from different parts of the world is exhilarating. May there be more of this kind of endeavor in the future.

Thesis stage: Research planning: Getting ready for data collection

I have just signed up to this hub and it has been insightful. It was quite daunting at first and I’m thinking if do-able. But with me in this platform I can foresee a clearer future. Thanks to the organisers.

Thesis stage: Post Doctoral & Publishing

As a postgraduate supervisor, who is already a Ph.D. holder, I was delighted to find a resource that I can continue to develop from. I will continue to share information about DoctorateHub with my students and peers. Thank you.

Thesis stage: Thesis research proposal development

I felt way better after the session especially that I got to talk to other PhD candidates that are struggling like me. I felt hope because my advisor never answers so I felt like I could have some guidance here.
