Dissertion

 

• The first step in doing any research (including your dissertation) is coming up with an idea or topic to research. The topic should be significant enough to research but focused on one specific area of the content domain.  In this assignment, write a 250-500 word abstract to propose a research topic that you would like to pursue in this course. The topic MUST pertain to information technology in the global economy.  Use page 6 in the Dissertation Handbook to provide guidelines in helping you choose a topic

Dissertation Guidelines Choosing a Research Topic Candidates begin thinking about dissertation topics when applying for admission to the program. The dissertation topics must be grounded in theory, related to program goals, and have specific implications for practitioners. Candidates are encouraged to choose research topics of personal relevance and significance. When opportunities arise in coursework, candidates should begin researching these topics in the form of literature reviews and other assignments that allow for research. The research topic will be narrowed to a research study and approved by the department chair/director when candidates enroll in the first dissertation course, LEAR 736. The link for topic approval is provided through the Graduate School.
