Question: Quantifying the Effects of Different Thinking Styles on Organizational Decision-Making Efficiency in Banking Sector.
Use different theory and framework. Feedback from the professor: this is an interesting topic. Strive to align your theory with the topic and method - SWOT is not a quantitative decision-making theory. How would it fit into your study?
Consider a topic in strategic thinking, decision-making, or sustainable innovation that appeals to you, possibly even as a potential dissertation topic. The topic should follow our course topics - although you can combine multiple of them if they make sense doing so. You should include a "niche" in your topic - i.e., a specific industry or organization or leader type, for example. Your final assignment (due on Wednesday night of Week 15) will be to create an annotated outline of a potential research project that includes an entirely written literature review. Follow the instructions in the template. Your paper should be about 15-20 pages, including title page and references.
You can use your ideas and annotated bibliography content (if you incorporate my feedback) from the previous mini-proposal assignments as part of this assignment. You may NOT use content from your lecture assignment (or any other student's lecture assignments) from the residency. Doing so will be caught in Safe Assign and the project will earn 0 points.
Select from any topic that fits into strategic thinking, decision-making, or sustainable innovation. I recommend that you use the ideas you contemplated through the initial three modules of the course. Your project will be organized as shown in the Annotated Research Proposal Lit Review Assignment Template. The grading rubric is found in the assignment area. Be sure to review it as it includes all the grading criteria, including content knowledge, critical thinking, clarity/template use, integration of knowledge, presentation, and writing mechanics. Please notice that using the template properly feeds into the clarity/template use and presentation sections.
This is a graduate course, and students are expected to research and write in their own words what they have found on current topics from literature. Research is a theoretical review of relevant literature and the application of findings in the literature to a topic related to a specific industry, field, or business problem. Research must be conducted using peer-reviewed trade or academic journals. While Blogs, Wikipedia, encyclopedias, course textbooks, popular magazines, newspaper articles, online websites, etc. help provide background information, these resources are NOT appropriate for this research assignment, except for the problem statement section.
