Week 4 Discussion: Open Exchange
Posted on Aug 2017
One of the critical components of my
doctoral study would be the recommendation for future research actions.
Saunders, Lewis & Thornhill (2015) notes that any studies have some areas
of weaknesses that impact on the validity and reliability of the findings and
to ascertain the results obtained further research needs to be carried out on a
topic of the study. In the case of my doctoral study, I will include
information concerning areas that need further study as far as my research area
is concerned. I will highlight weaknesses of my research and then make a
recommendation on how they can be improved by carrying out another study on the
same topic in the future using different approaches. For example, I will
highlight the need for carrying out empirical research to ascertain the
findings that I will have obtained in the course of my doctoral study.
Additionally, the reflection will be an
important component of my doctoral study. In this component, I will provide
information concerning the lessons that I will have learned in the process of
completing my doctoral study on sustainability practices strategies in small
business. For example, I will reflect how the research skills that I will have
obtained and learned from my research process will be used in the future to
bring positive social change or help to address various problems in the
society. Also, the section will provide information concerning how the research
process will have improved my ability to conduct a comprehensive and reliable
research on different subjects. Thus, the reflection section will be aimed at
helping to give a personal opinion concerning the entire doctoral research
process and how it will have impacted me at personal and professional
level.
