Homework
As previously noted, scholarly research and writing are key components of the DBA program of study, but this aspect of doctoral research may seem daunting, even to those with years of experience in business. Specifically, for some independent scholars, completing their literature review can be overwhelming, and writing more than 25 pages while ensuring critical analysis and synthesis of the literature is not easy. You can help ensure your success, however, by thinking of doctoral research and writing as an orderly process designed to facilitate quality.
Completing an annotated bibliography is one of the foundational steps in the doctoral process, and it will help you organize and evaluate resources for later use. You will be able to reflect critically on the merits and relevance of each resource to your topic of doctoral research study. By collecting peer-reviewed articles from peer-reviewed journals that are within 5 years of your anticipated graduation date and by collecting seminal literature where applicable, you will lay the foundation for successful completion of your Doctoral Study. You will begin this important process now.
