Overview

    This webinar focuses on problematizing and articulating the underlying research problems, and on how to subsequently derive corresponding research questions and ensure that these are actionable. The webinar will also look at matters such understanding the difference between a problem as such, and a problem to you; and how to frame research questions in a way that they explore a problem instead of working towards random solutions. These skills are essential across a broad number of stages; including crafting a research plan, executing your research, or once writing your thesis and communicating the research findings.

Key Take-Aways

This webinar will assist doctoral students in:

  1. Learn how to identify and articulate workplace-based issues.
  2. Practice how to problematize and articulate research problems.
  3. Derive corresponding research questions and ensure these are actionable.
  4. Draw on literature to identify and adapt research methods and instruments.
  5. Build an understanding about the potential conflict between outcome expectations(such as a wanted solution), the research problem(the actual issue at hand) and the research question(that determines the focus and research actions).

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.

Thesis stage: Research execution: Data collection and analysis

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.
