Print Page Report a broken link

(5 credits)

This course provides students the opportunity to extend their research and general analysis skills as they further explore research methods and project types - specifically, qualitative and case study research methods - that they may incorporate into their own doctoral study. Students explore ways of improving the quality and strategic analysis of organizational information technology (IT).They also focus on how to think in an action-oriented manner, as if they were consultants, so that their own doctoral study work could be applied in action. Finally, students begin to plan their doctoral study by engaging in an iterative process to develop their premise and a draft prospectus that incorporates feedback from peers and the course Instructor. Ultimately, students offer the prospectus as a document for review and consideration by potential mentors for their doctoral study.
