The topic of the British thesis combines academic theories with
the topics to be studied, and goes to Google Scholar. This is the
most basic search.
It is also a prerequisite to ensure that you can write smoothly in
the future. At least look at the academic materials. This blog
post continues to send you a report on the opening of the so-
called proposal. The UK dissertation format is basically the
same, especially in business. Don't choose topics that are
empty, don't choose topics that are not in academic concepts.
No matter what field of research you are, no matter what
research method you choose, all research plans must address the
following questions: 1. What are you going to achieve; 2. Why
do you want to do this; 3. You will How to do this; the research
plan should have enough concentration to convince the teacher,
if you have an important research idea, or if you have a good
idea of the relevant literature and major issues, then your
research The original idea of the plan was successful. The
quality of your research plan does not depend on the quality of
your ideas, because a good research project may be rejected for
the simple reason that the copy supporting the project is not
well written, so your writing is a large part. 1. What needs to be
written in the research plan? The research plan has a basic
writing structure. You can refer to the structure and adjust it
according to your own research theme. 1. Title Page The cover
page writes the title and author, which is easy to understand.
You need to know what you want to say from the Title.
2.Astract summary is about 200 words, this part is a brief
summary of research topics, goals, and research methods. It is
important to write out the general questions of research
questions, research reasons, etc. in this part. About 300 words
or so. 3.Table of Contents Contents 4.Introduction Introduction
This section can state your research background, research
questions, research purposes and meaning (focus), including: 1)
research purposes 2) provide context (references) to highlight
the importance of research Sex 3) Provide the theoretical basis
of the research and explain why it is worth doing this research
4) Briefly introduce the main problems and sub-questions to be
solved in your research 5) Explain your hypothesis (if
necessary) 5.Background(Literature Review) This part of the
research background can also be used as a part of the literature
review to present your research questions, reviewing previous
studies for comment and analysis. Therefore, you need to read
the relevant subject literature, and sort through and analyze the
previous research by searching, reading, and analyzing the
literature. This requires a certain amount of retrieval ability and
a certain number of papers and books to be summarized and
summarized into a literature review, which is a relatively long
time. 6. Mainbody (Hypothesis, Methodology, Research Design)
The main part of RP can describe your research hypothesis, the
research method used, or the experimental steps, the analytical
methods of the experimental results, and the methods of
processing the data. The method part is important because it
directly tells you what the goal is to teach you how to deal with
your research problem. Here is the problem that shows your
research and explains the research activities that are necessary.
The proposed research method needs to be well-founded and
feasible.

Introduction
This note provides information on the Business Appraisal or
Sector Study type dissertations and complements Course
Directors’ Introduction to these types of dissertations in the
first week session of the Business Research Methods module
(BDM144 / BDM148). Most supervisors will offer the option of
a business appraisal or a sector study as an alternative to topics
related to their specialisms, either as a completely general topic
or in relation to a specific sector. The intention is to give you
some flexibility and freedom to choose a topic of relevance to
you, for example because you wish to pursue a career in a sector
or you have a family business interest. These notes provide a
brief description of what a business appraisal or sector study
dissertation would require.
Business Appraisal
Under this topic you could undertake an appraisal of a business
of your choice. The term is commonly used to mean an
objective evidence based analysis of an existing business or
even a new business idea. In either case, a comprehensive
appraisal would require examination of the market for the
business’s products and services, the non-financial and financial
resources and competencies of the business (actual or proposed)
and the business model and structure. The aim of the business
appraisal would be to arrive at conclusions about the soundness
of the business or any actions required to improve performance.
This type of dissertation could be of interest to someone
wishing to do an appraisal of a family business, either
comprehensive or on a specific issue. The data for such an
appraisal would be from the business and the dissertation would
be marked as confidential if required.
Typically, a complete business appraisal would include a
business plan with financial projections though this may not
always be possible in the dissertation because of problems of
access to data or confidentiality. You would, however be
required to do a much more detailed appraisal of the business
situation relating it to relevant theories, concepts and
frameworks which should be explained and critiqued (see
“Business appraisal or sector study: Dissertation structure”
below) than would normally be the case in a “non-academic”
business appraisal.
A business appraisal with focus on a specific issue (as opposed
to a comprehensive appraisal as described above) could be a
strategic appraisal of a business decision or issue (past
examples include: (a) how a medium sized steel trading
company in an emerging economy could improve its
performance in the face of foreign competition, and (b) forming
a strategic alliance with a foreign company to improve export
performance).
Sector Study
Under this topic, you would carry out a study of a sector of your
choice. This type of study is a review and assessment of the
relevant recent past and current conditions and likely future
development in the sector.
The typical aspects to be included in a sector study are:
- explanation of the major external factors which have
influenced the growth and other changes in the sector likely to
influence it in the future;
- identification of the main players in the sector (companies or
parts of companies for conglomerates), their position in the
market – relative size and other features such as the level of
specialisation e.g. whether offering products or services across
a range of market segments or focusing on the premium end;
- the competencies and resources of the companies and other
factors which explain the performance of companies in the
sector, and
- based on the above an assessment of the prospects for the
sector and for different types of enterprises in the sector.
Business Appraisal or Sector Study: Dissertation Structure and
Need for Analysis
The structure of the dissertation would be broadly similar to the
conventional for and would consist of the following main
components:
Introduction (issues to be investigated and context)
Literature review
Methodology
Analysis & Results
Discussion
Conclusions & Recommendations (the latter where appropriate)
An important difference between conventional dissertations and
these more application oriented dissertations is that in the latter,
the literature review would outline and critique the theories and
frameworks used in the analysis, explain why they are
appropriate for the analysis and introduce evidence from
existing studies on the relevant sector as context for the study.
Whether a business appraisal or a sector study, the dissertation
cannot be simply a description of the company and its activities
but should analyse the situation based on evidence and using
appropriate theories, frameworks and tools. These are likely to
come from Economic Environment of Business, International
Business, Advanced Topics in International Business, Strategic
Management, Business Finance, Accounting for Non-Financial
Managers and Marketing Management.

The topic of the British thesis combines academic theories with th.docx

  • 1. The topic of the British thesis combines academic theories with the topics to be studied, and goes to Google Scholar. This is the most basic search. It is also a prerequisite to ensure that you can write smoothly in the future. At least look at the academic materials. This blog post continues to send you a report on the opening of the so- called proposal. The UK dissertation format is basically the same, especially in business. Don't choose topics that are empty, don't choose topics that are not in academic concepts. No matter what field of research you are, no matter what research method you choose, all research plans must address the following questions: 1. What are you going to achieve; 2. Why do you want to do this; 3. You will How to do this; the research plan should have enough concentration to convince the teacher, if you have an important research idea, or if you have a good idea of the relevant literature and major issues, then your research The original idea of the plan was successful. The quality of your research plan does not depend on the quality of your ideas, because a good research project may be rejected for the simple reason that the copy supporting the project is not well written, so your writing is a large part. 1. What needs to be written in the research plan? The research plan has a basic writing structure. You can refer to the structure and adjust it according to your own research theme. 1. Title Page The cover page writes the title and author, which is easy to understand. You need to know what you want to say from the Title. 2.Astract summary is about 200 words, this part is a brief summary of research topics, goals, and research methods. It is important to write out the general questions of research questions, research reasons, etc. in this part. About 300 words or so. 3.Table of Contents Contents 4.Introduction Introduction This section can state your research background, research questions, research purposes and meaning (focus), including: 1)
  • 2. research purposes 2) provide context (references) to highlight the importance of research Sex 3) Provide the theoretical basis of the research and explain why it is worth doing this research 4) Briefly introduce the main problems and sub-questions to be solved in your research 5) Explain your hypothesis (if necessary) 5.Background(Literature Review) This part of the research background can also be used as a part of the literature review to present your research questions, reviewing previous studies for comment and analysis. Therefore, you need to read the relevant subject literature, and sort through and analyze the previous research by searching, reading, and analyzing the literature. This requires a certain amount of retrieval ability and a certain number of papers and books to be summarized and summarized into a literature review, which is a relatively long time. 6. Mainbody (Hypothesis, Methodology, Research Design) The main part of RP can describe your research hypothesis, the research method used, or the experimental steps, the analytical methods of the experimental results, and the methods of processing the data. The method part is important because it directly tells you what the goal is to teach you how to deal with your research problem. Here is the problem that shows your research and explains the research activities that are necessary. The proposed research method needs to be well-founded and feasible.

Introduction This note provides information on the Business Appraisal or Sector Study type dissertations and complements Course Directors’ Introduction to these types of dissertations in the first week session of the Business Research Methods module (BDM144 / BDM148). Most supervisors will offer the option of a business appraisal or a sector study as an alternative to topics related to their specialisms, either as a completely general topic or in relation to a specific sector. The intention is to give you some flexibility and freedom to choose a topic of relevance to you, for example because you wish to pursue a career in a sector or you have a family business interest. These notes provide a brief description of what a business appraisal or sector study dissertation would require. Business Appraisal Under this topic you could undertake an appraisal of a business of your choice. The term is commonly used to mean an objective evidence based analysis of an existing business or even a new business idea. In either case, a comprehensive appraisal would require examination of the market for the business’s products and services, the non-financial and financial resources and competencies of the business (actual or proposed) and the business model and structure. The aim of the business appraisal would be to arrive at conclusions about the soundness of the business or any actions required to improve performance. This type of dissertation could be of interest to someone wishing to do an appraisal of a family business, either comprehensive or on a specific issue. The data for such an
  • 10. appraisal would be from the business and the dissertation would be marked as confidential if required. Typically, a complete business appraisal would include a business plan with financial projections though this may not always be possible in the dissertation because of problems of access to data or confidentiality. You would, however be required to do a much more detailed appraisal of the business situation relating it to relevant theories, concepts and frameworks which should be explained and critiqued (see “Business appraisal or sector study: Dissertation structure” below) than would normally be the case in a “non-academic” business appraisal. A business appraisal with focus on a specific issue (as opposed to a comprehensive appraisal as described above) could be a strategic appraisal of a business decision or issue (past examples include: (a) how a medium sized steel trading company in an emerging economy could improve its performance in the face of foreign competition, and (b) forming a strategic alliance with a foreign company to improve export performance). Sector Study Under this topic, you would carry out a study of a sector of your choice. This type of study is a review and assessment of the relevant recent past and current conditions and likely future development in the sector. The typical aspects to be included in a sector study are: - explanation of the major external factors which have influenced the growth and other changes in the sector likely to influence it in the future; - identification of the main players in the sector (companies or parts of companies for conglomerates), their position in the market – relative size and other features such as the level of specialisation e.g. whether offering products or services across a range of market segments or focusing on the premium end; - the competencies and resources of the companies and other factors which explain the performance of companies in the
  • 11. sector, and - based on the above an assessment of the prospects for the sector and for different types of enterprises in the sector. Business Appraisal or Sector Study: Dissertation Structure and Need for Analysis The structure of the dissertation would be broadly similar to the conventional for and would consist of the following main components: Introduction (issues to be investigated and context) Literature review Methodology Analysis & Results Discussion Conclusions & Recommendations (the latter where appropriate) An important difference between conventional dissertations and these more application oriented dissertations is that in the latter, the literature review would outline and critique the theories and frameworks used in the analysis, explain why they are appropriate for the analysis and introduce evidence from existing studies on the relevant sector as context for the study. Whether a business appraisal or a sector study, the dissertation cannot be simply a description of the company and its activities but should analyse the situation based on evidence and using appropriate theories, frameworks and tools. These are likely to come from Economic Environment of Business, International Business, Advanced Topics in International Business, Strategic Management, Business Finance, Accounting for Non-Financial Managers and Marketing Management.
