Students' Companion on Mini-Dissertation, Thesis, and Final Project Writing.

This Students' Companion is strategically designed for participants in the BUSN 711 - Capstone Research Thesis Course, offering a comprehensive, interactive, and user-friendly approach to mastering the curriculum. It meticulously covers all essential aspects of the course, ensuring a seamless integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application. It is structured to enhance user engagement and understanding, the manual incorporates a variety of practical exercises designed to simulate real-world business challenges. These include detailed case studies, reflective practices, strategic problem-solving tasks, collaborative planning exercises and data collection. Each activity is crafted to provide a vicarious experience that promotes deep learning and symbiotic interaction among group members. The aim of integrating such dynamic exercises is twofold: firstly, to enhance academic performance and critical thinking skills; and secondly, to equip students with actionable insights that are directly applicable in professional settings or advanced academic pursuits. This dual focus ensures that the skills and knowledge acquired extend beyond conventional academic boundaries, preparing students to effectively devise evidence-based solutions within organizational contexts or in further university courses. Moreover, by bridging the gap between theoretical constructs and practical realities, this guide not only augments the educational experience but also prepares students for immediate and effective application of their skills in dynamic business environments, thus fostering a pragmatic and impactful approach to learning and professional development.

LEARNING BY DEVELOPING-NEW WAYS TO LEARN

Management Decision, 2013

About this book It is now fourteen years since we collaborated in the writing of our first research methods book. In 2009 the fifth edition was published (Saunders et al., 2009). The success of that book suggests that research methods is a popular subject with business and management students. This may be so. But we think that it has more to do with the fact research methods is a complex areaone where it is easy to do things, but much less easy to do things right. When we planned the first book we had one overall mission in mind. That was to write a book in a way that came as near as possible to the way in which we taught our students. By this we mean that we wanted to be clear and straightforward, and explain things in a way that lost none of the complexity, or academic rigour of the subject. Over the years this mission has not altered. We feel just as passionate about clear communication as we did back in 1997. However, things in the world of business and management education have...

Systemic Practice and Action Research

This study offers a conceptual explanation of a holistic methodology that has utility in how we engage with complex situations. This is the VIPLAN Methodology developed by Raul Espejo and first published in 1988. A case is presented that evaluates whether this methodology has impact when tacitly embedded in a postgraduate research methods course. The underlying argument is that research can be usefully viewed as a form of engagement in complex problem situations, with one challenge being to make sense of situational complexity and establish the question. Thus, it becomes appropriate to introduce the principles underpinning this methodology into a research methods course in order to develop student understanding of how to move from making sense of the situation to a clearly defined problem that is then handled. The study examines a research methods course delivered annually over a period of three years, but drawing upon data from the previous two years, permitting a five year perspec...

In today’s business schools, affective teaching of business topics such as ethics has become a high priority due to inappropriate behaviors of some businesses or individuals associated with such names as Enron, WorldCom, Knight Trading Group, Inc., Adelphia, Tyco, Martha Stewart, Goldman Sachs, and Siebel. These companies and individuals associated with the inappropriate actions have severely disgraced the U.S. business market, possibly due to top executive greed. The instructor in today’s business environment must provide students with practical and valid exercises that will embrace student understanding and long-term learning towards appropriate business standards and ethics through effective Collaborative Learning Objectives. Students’ today have to take personal responsibility for gaining knowledge by becoming self-reliant learners and understanding their own best learning styles. The paper, written in an essay format, provides a review of interactive styles of education, Bloom’...
