Researching and Writing a Dissertation – An essential guide for business students
Third Edition
A concise, engaging and pragmatic introduction for business students to researching and writing a dissertation.
A dissertation is a substantial part of a business qualification and as a student you may be daunted by the prospect of embarking on such a sustained piece of academic work. This book takes an extremely practical, skills-based approach to both researching and writing a dissertation. It is designed to aid anyone on a business-related course who has to write a dissertation or a long, research-based paper as part of their programme of study.
This fully updated new edition guides the development of your dissertation, step-by-step – starting with how to choose your topic and carry out a critical literature review, through to framing your arguments and writing up your findings. Throughout the book, assessment criteria are explained so that your work is focused around the relevant academic objectives, and each step is illustrated with examples. It also covers essential skills such as how to argue and write effectively.
