Master of Philosophy in Management Sciences Thesis Topic??

My study concerns social identity leadership and how org. identification is influenced through in-group and out-group variables from a resource perspective which infers how power is used in identity prototypicality. Since French and Ravens bases of power use coercive, legitimate, informational and other powers among referent power. Referent power is more attuned to have a role in my model. But can I use this dimension (referent power) of French and Raven's social power as a separate variable, more specifically, as a moderator?

Writing a successful dissertation is not rocket science. It’s all about knowing what you are getting into, determining your action plan and then ensuring that you follow through with the process. Most universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere already have a standard structure, document and framework for a successful dissertation. Unfortunately, the dissertation phobia of most undergraduate, master's and even doctorate students makes it difficult to make the most of their research experience. The Research Team of Prime Strategic Services for instance discovered that most students are unable to write successful dissertations because of issues such as lack of continuous writing skills, anxiety, poor time management, complexity of work demands and not seeking research assistance in time. The identified steps in writing a successful dissertation can make a difference if you want to deliver impressive work at the end of the day. 1. Study the School Guidelines: the school guideline sets the tone for the research, specifies what should be captured in the proposal, outlines the structure of the work, discusses formatting requirements, defines the word count and clarifies any expectations including the marking criteria. Don’t just assume that you know it all, even if it's your second master's Degree; it is better to study and understand than to make mistakes and understand. 2. Check for samples: For every student we support in writing a successful dissertation, we advise them to check for samples of previous dissertations; those written and accepted by the school, those supervised by the allocated supervisors and those related to their areas of interest. When you check samples, you have an idea of what standards have been set and you can understand how to break the records. 3. Find a Topic & Remain Academic: The success or failure of your dissertation depends largely on your topic and we always advise students not to rely solely on AI to craft a research topic. Remember that the research is academic, so there are some ingredients that your topic must have and things to check i.e. availability of materials, research gap, variables of the study, etc. 4. Use AI, Humanising & Paraphrasing tools with caution: You can use AI tools to verify thoughts, interrogate views and guide approach rather than using AI to produce content and use paraphrasing tools to tweak or humanise the text. You risk being caught and the contents will either seem too good to be true or too disorganised. Nobody wants to face a disciplinary panel. 5. Understand your Strengths and Weaknesses, and take action: since research pieces are expected to add value to the world, benefit the academic community and inspire future studies, the place of collaboration cannot be emphasised. Hence, start early to determine what you can do and where you need support. Also, determine what sort of support you require so that you can act appropriately. With the above 5 steps, you can write a successful dissertation in record time. Writing a successful dissertation is always a work in progress. You are welcome to discuss, ask questions and also share insight regarding what worked for you: WhatsApp +234-706-818-0074 to have a chat conversation, especially for researchers in the field of social science and management sciences.

relationship between science and art and how these are related to management

I do my research on strategic management, CSR and innovation.

I am now open to collaboration of publications with researchers interested in these fields.

Hello!

Where can I find comprehensive handbooks or online resources that can help me enhance my skills in reading and analyzing scientific articles across diverse disciplines, from epistemology to cognitive psychology, knowledge engineering, medical science, engineering, management science, and political science? Given the interdisciplinary nature of my research, I am looking for guidance that transcends specific domains.

Your expertise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I embark on this intellectually enriching journey.

What is the best research approach for management science?

I hold a Ph.D. in environmental and development economics, complemented by an MBA focused on marketing, international business, and HRM, along with a BBA in management. Considering this background, what specific field or topic within management science would be most suitable for furthering my academic career?

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical modeling technique that has been primarily used and implemented in the field of Operations Research and Management Science. DEA has since found applications in various disciplines, including Economics, Finance, Healthcare, Education, Environmental Studies, Transportation, and Logistics. These are just a few examples of the disciplines where DEA has been implemented as a tool. The versatility and broad applicability of DEA make it a valuable analytical technique for evaluating efficiency and guiding decision-making in various domains.

Recently, MATLAB's implementation of data envelopment analysis (DEA) aims to provide a powerful tool for scientists and engineers to analyze and optimize the efficiency and productivity of various processes. DEA is a technique used to evaluate the relative efficiency of a set of entities, by comparing their input-output relationships. The primary goals of implementing the DEA tool in MATLAB are as follows:

In summary, MATLAB's implementation of the DEA tool aims to empower scientists and engineers with a comprehensive and versatile framework for evaluating, benchmarking, and optimizing the efficiency and productivity of various processes. By providing robust analysis capabilities and integration with other MATLAB features, the tool facilitates informed decision-making and supports continuous improvement efforts.

You are free to discuss this further as your contributions are welcomed. At the moment, please contact the email provided if you are willing to publish a chapter in a multidisciplinary book for possible indexation in Scopus: abel.ajibesin@aun.edu.ng or follow the links below for more information about the book and submission. https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/6516, https://www.igi-global.com/book/data-envelopment-analysis-dea-methods/321646#description.

Also, if you are using MATLAB's implementation of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and planning to be part of the incoming book that is focusing on Science, IT, and Engineering using DEA, kindly send an email to abel.ajibesin@aun.edu.ng or ajibesin@ieee.org

Please guide me as how to write quantitative research methodology of management sciences for PhD with any research papers references, online workship/webinar etc

Please colleagues should recommend for me fast free-to-publish but quality journals in accounting, finance, corporate governance. In fact, in management sciences generally.

Thank you.

I'm a plan to publish the journal, but the last of the fee... Then at the chance of information information gaining the Terindex reflects the free and flattering...

I need a financial journal that focuses on management science, financial management, marketing management and human resource management...

Hello everyone please guide and sufgest some things on finance related topic on management sciences p.hd i have some confusion

Hello,

i don't quite understand what difference there is between the term business logic and business model. Are they used synonymously? I know of only one source that says a business model is a business logic when the supply, value creation, marketing and revenue are aligned from a theoretical perspective. Accordingly, one speaks of supply logic, value creation logic, marketing logic and revenue logic.

Is this correct?

Dear Scholar and researcher,

I understand the hectic schedule and pressure of your working environment. but the personality and professional life should not be stopped, it must be Improved over time, and for sure we all have areas where we need to grow and develop ourselves.

I am a leaner and a student of management science, who believe in sharing is caring, I have opened the door for all of you if you want to discuss your project or assignment problem you can send me an email and we can discuss it together and try to find the solution. working together can enhance the knowledge in both ways and surely it is benefitted for all.

Regards

I'm looking for conferences in management sciences.

Assalam o Alaikum and Hello Everyone

I am a PhD Management student and searching for topic regarding my PhD dissertation. It will be very helpful for me if anyone who is reading this may suggest any topic for my dissertation.

My interest is in Finance however, topic related to other Management Sciences field will also be considered if that is good.

JazakALLAH and Thanks.

I recently did a presentation on "Thesis by Publication",, but would also like to share some good examples (that is in addition to my own thesis), but these appear to be in short supply, especially in the field of Business and Management Sciences!

Please suggest me some topics.

Please enlighten this with a reference or theoretical background

thanks to all researchers.

Dear Colleagues

Have you ever had such publishing experience that the editor evaluates your qualitative research according to the rigors of quantitative research?

My story:

The editor of one of the journals assessed (negatively) my article containing a qualitative case study research, according to the quantitative research rigor. He stated:

"The analysis falls well short of the rigor required of an academic publication. No evidence is provided about whether the results would generalize to other settings, apparently there were no control groups, there are no statistical tests, the results did not generate enough clicks or sales to have a clear interpretation, etc. "

I have answered (and waiting for reaction):

"...you assessed it according to the rigor of the quantitative research ("no statistical test", "to generalize"), while my research is qualitative ("to identify categories and/or patterns") and implemented according to the procedure suggested by K. Eisenhardt. 

Please read the classic article by Bourgeois and Eisenhardt (attached), which analyzes four observations (stories) and doesn't contain tests. Eisenhardt  is quoted in almost all articles made with the case study (qualitative) research method. Please rate my article according to the principles of the qualitative research rigor."

Bourgeois LJ, III and Eisenhardt KM (1988) Strategic Decision Processes in High Velocity Environments: Four Cases in the Microcomputer Industry. Management Science, Vol. 34, No. 7 (Jul., 1988), pp. 816-835

Have you ever had such experience when editor or reviewer uses quantitative research rigors to assess a qualitative research?

What is your experience as to publishing the qualitative research?

Regards

I want to write a Systematic Literature Review Paper in the field of Marketing (Shared Economy).

If you put forward any guidelines or recommended articles to further explore this phenomenon, would highly be appreciated.

Thanks

The management science books, it is mentioned that management science started with Frederic Taylor's scientific management. But management cannot be limited in a narrow time limitation. It is a science or art that emerged with the existence of humanity to reach something common among people...

in this respect, I want to search a little bit deeper, if you have similar sources...

As faculty of Management Science, I saw a book of research methodology in hands of student where I found executive summary in component of proposal and in proposal I never find executive summary. So I am asking whether it is needed or not? Hope have your answer.

These days there is a trend uploading working papers in Researcgate, SSRN and MPRA. Some publishers don't mind it but some journals reject papers because when find that 70 to 80% of submitted papers are plagiarized with initial drafts or working papers submitted in research repositories. This problem becomes aggravated when your paper is submitted in MPRA which don't allow you to remove paper from their database. Therefore, what should be a way out if your paper is being rejected because its initial draft is in MPRA? Please respond to this question keeping in view the management science field especially.

I am in my Third Year (Junior Year) of my undergraduate degree of Management Science in LUMS , Pakistan. I am new on Research gate, and I want to peruse my career in academics and research in area of Business analytics, in fact I have done some projects and experimental findings in this area. That Online affiliation which can be helpful for me for getting admission in Grad School in couple of years. I need suggestions of experts in this area of interest.

Even after Frederick Taylor the founder of scientific theory in management. It was only recognized by COASE 1937

what is the reason

The management sciences appeared at least 2500 years ago, primarily due to military necessities, among the most remarkable works being the "Art of war" by Sun Tzu and have evolved continuously, especially in the socio-economic fields. In the third millennium, through realistic and cyber-simulated economic and social modeling, one can anticipate the results of any managerial and governance decision, with sufficient precision. However, higher education does not bring to the attention of new generations the need to move from a government based on political and religious dogmas, that is, on the basis of private privileges - against public ones, to a government based on the results of science - that is, on sustainable development and prosperity. to all citizens of the world in harmony with nature, perfectly achievable at the level of the productivity of today's work What should scientific research and higher education do in this regard?

A lot people in

Computer Science

Management Science

Engineering Sciences

are leaving Pakistan and moving abroad?

What are main reasons and is the same happening in INDIA, BANGLADESH etc

Construction field today is generally seen as a management science, but in my opinion it is supposed to be an engineering science.

This epistemological difference in attitude has much to do with construction scientists not being serious about finding a solution to this problem in an industry that is so vast and so well funded.

Even today there is no satisfactory theory to explain construction process. What do you feel?

Are platonian and aristotlean philosophy a bane or a boon as far as management science like construction management concerned?

Can anyone recommend me an article:

- based on qualitative studies

- with well-described methodology

- analysing several cases (5-15 companies/organizations)

- best if in management science

Thanks.

Dear collegues,

I would like to ask if you could suggest to me any managmenet science theories which are related to social impact assessment of social enterprises (from perspective of management science)?

Thank you so much.

I intend to write a research proposal as part of an application to a PhD in Management science and engineering.. I just wanted to gather more insights of contemporary topics in the area . Would you share some insights ? Thanks

I need to review a study in which the authors have applied an OLS regression to test the influence of variable A on variable B. From a methodological point of view, everything seems to be fine. However, the authors have formulated a research hypothesis (not null hypothesis!) that goes like this: "Variable A has no influence on variable B."

In my research field (business and management science), I have actually never come across a hypothesis that assumes no relationship between two variables. Therefore, my question is whether this is a valid formulation of a research hypothesis for OLS regression?

Please suggest recent topics or research in operations research (management science).

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am Karen, I am starting my Phd in Business and Management sciences, and I am interested in do research about social entrepreneurship, I started with entrepreneurial ecosystems, but I would like to know If could be a good idea to put the both topics together, if not, I would be more aligned to the Social Entrepreneurship, if someone can help me to find gaps in this area, I would be so grateful, and I want to apply it for Mexico, but I am struggling about to which path follow, so if someone better informed about this topic can help me I would appreciate it.

Good project management is science or art?

My name is Masithembe, From Cape Peninsula University of Technology, I have studied MBA in Project Management but looking to explore the intricacies of economics with anyone outside CPUT. I am looking at engaging with other students from Universities across South Africa from any department in the Business Management Sciences faculty.

If you are into academics, particularly passionate about research and you know you are result driven, please reach me on my mail box at masithembekafile@gmail.com

Thank you all.

I am trying to optimize a function that is non-linear in parameters, three in number. I am using Genetic Algorithms (GA) for this purpose. Thus, I have a function of time that is non-linear in three parameters as time-series data. I am using the ga() function of the GA package in R language for the purpose. However, as I see, the initial values that I set for the parameters heavily influences the parameters computed by the ga() function. I also read the following article:

Scrucca, L. (2013). GA: a package for genetic algorithms in R. Journal of Statistical Software, 53(4), 1-37.

In section 4.4 Curve Fitting, if I use the following initial values (min, max): a(1000, 10,000), b(0,10), and c(0.5, 10) instead of the ones used, that is a(3000, 4000), b(0, 1) and c(2, 4) I get completely different results from the ones obtained by the paper. I get a=2772, b=.0235, c=4.07 as against a= 3534.741, b=0.01575454, c= 2.800797 in the paper.

My understanding is that global optimization techniques such as GA would be able to find out global optima irrespective of initial values although it might take more or less iterations depending on the initial values of parameters. Why is this not happening in case of my function and also the example that I cited?

Thanking you all in advance.

Over the years, my interests have shifted from teaching Marketing / HRM to undergraduate students towards teaching Philosophy and Methods courses to Postgraduate classes. I am in the process of designing a new course for Postgraduate students. In this regard, I would really appreciate your suggestions and sharing concerning course design and delivery. :)

Dear Professor Sebastian,

Having read your Am J Clin Nutr (2001) article, and the follow-up Letter, I would be grateful for further guidance as to which food items in your study were identified as “animal” vs “vegetable” protein, and whether - as hinted in the Letter - you excluded grains and rice from vegetable protein (or, given their apparent acid-forming nature, even reclassified them with Animal Protein).The reason for asking, and for following your RG Project, is that I am researching seriously on my own behalf any ways to modify lifestyle (e.g. resistance exercise vs jogging, with the former’s apparent greater stimulus to testosterone and IGF-1, both reputedly enhancing bone growth) and especially nutrition as it might do likewise, or if poorly chosen, the converse.In particular, I have long been self-monitoring and would like to be able to analyse my spreadsheet data for the Animal/Vegetable protein ratio of my past (and especially future) nourishment.

Best regards – Paul G Ellis

(originally a chemist but latterly in management science)

For the very first time, I am trying to do a basic study on selecting supplier for a certain equipment using AHP method. Could anyone help in identifying what are the steps involved in data collection, how is the process started?

Secondly. the criteria must be literature backed or not?

Thirdly, is it necessary to develop criteria beyond level 1 ?

Note: I am not asking about the actual working of AHP.

I am looking for people working on TOC developped by E. Goldratt in Management Science.

In what order do the items in the list appear with a reference that justifies your answer. Any case studies that represent most of them together would be highly appreciated.

I am aiming to suggest the concept of exchange as a federative and founding concept for all different disciplines of management sciences? Would you provide some insights?

For testing work rules or policies, I am looking for scales which would allow to measure the perceived legitimacy of a rule or a policy.

Any hint will help at this stage.

If you have any suggestions about my subject, feel free to send me your advices !

Your help will be highly appreciated !
