Course Description

The D.B.A. capstone project requires that students know how to collect, organize, and interpret data. In this course, students broaden their research and general analysis skills as they further explore methodology and project types to incorporate into their doctoral study. Students engage in coursework focusing on qualitative and case study research methods, through which they learn to focus their analysis on efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance. Students examine techniques for thinking in an action-oriented manner, as if they were consultants, so that they can apply their own doctoral study in the real world. Finally, students engage in an iterative process of writing a proposal, incorporating feedback from peers and the course instructor. Ultimately, the proposal is offered by students as a document for review for consideration by potential mentors for their doctoral study.

Week 6 Introduction
Evaluating Qualitative Research

The Walden University definition of positive social change is “a deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and actions to promote the worth, dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, and societies. Positive social change results in the improvement of human and social conditions” (https://catalog.waldenu.edu). While your doctoral study might begin with a problem that is of interest to you personally, your research should also result in a solution that enhances the well-being of others or organizations.

This week, you will consider the potential social impacts of gaining more insight into and possible solutions for the problem you have identified. How will your research benefit the field of management and how will it be applied in practice?

In addition to this consideration, you will also evaluate the methods for ensuring quality used in the doctoral study you selected in Week 1. What methods will you use to ensure quality in your own study and how will this benefit other scholars in the field?

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this week, you will be able to:

•Articulate the potential impacts for positive social change that might result from your proposed study

•Evaluate the quality of a chosen doctoral-level research design

•Assess validity-related concerns for qualitative studies related to business research

•Create a first draft of an open-code document with theme analysis for peer and faculty feedback

Application 2: Coding of the Interview and Theme Analysis

In Chapter 8 of your Creswell text, you learn about the core elements of qualitative data analysis. Coding the data is the first step. In this process, you reduce the data gathered into segments, assigning names as you go along. Your assignment for this week is to code your interview transcript to find themes. Be sure to consider your research question as you begin to code.

Your assignment should contain the following elements:

1. Your research question for this interview

2. A list of the codes you developed for your interview transcript

3. A description of your thinking or working process, explaining how you developed your codes, including any evolution of your coding system

4. In-text coding for your interview. This means that you are to select chunks of data and apply the codes to your interview transcript. Keep your interview transcript intact as a whole and show where you have applied the codes to the text.

P.T. Bauer, “The Economics of Underdevelopment”, attached below as a PDF.

Robert Kaplan, “In Defense of Empire”, https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/04/in-defense-of-empire/358645/

Both of these articles reflect a certain interpretation of imperialism and its effects on the rest of the world. There interpretation is considerably different than that presented by Mike Davis in Late Victorian Holocausts.

Your duty is to construct a paper which succinctly summarizes the arguments made by Bauer and Kaplan, and then explain how Davis would respond to their arguments, especially based on Part IV of his book. It is up to you to decide whether the arguments made by Bauer and Kaplan are more convincing, or whether you side with Davis. But you must clearly identify the arguments made by each side, and summarize the evidence (if any) they use.

Technical details are the same as with the first paper. You must type your paper in a normal, 12 point font, with default (1-inch) margins. Your work must, of course, include careful citations, in Chicago Style (footnotes!), and include a works cited page.

The research essay plan is intended to provide structure for the research essay due at the end of the semester. The plan should include an outline of the topics that will be covered in the essay, and where in the essay each topic will be located. Students will receive feedback on their essay plan in time to help complete their final research essay.
What you need to include:
• Proposed title
• Thesis statement
• 6-8 topic sentences
• At least one reference per topic sentence
• Bibliography
What to do:
1) Brainstorm some ideas. This involves writing down as many different ideas, theories and examples that relate to your chosen offence as possible.You have already completed some preliminary research into your topic as part of your annotated bibliography, so there should be lots of ideas floating around your head already. Don’t rule anything out at this stage. You are not submitting this stuff – the point here is to get as many different ideas down as possible.

2) Start arranging these ideas into a coherent narrative. This means selecting those ideas that best illustrate how you think of and understand your topic. Pick those that seem the most relevant and important in explaining your chosen offence.

3) Write a thesis statement. A thesis statement is a very short (1-2 sentences maximum) description of what your essay is about. It will summarise in a nutshell what you are arguing in your essay. For example: ‘This essay will argue that the best theory for explaining car theft is strain theory’.

4) Identify the main points that will comprise your argument. These should include what theories you will be discussing and how they relate to your chosen offence.All of your main points should be relevant to the thesis statement.

5) Use your main points to write a series of 6-8topic sentences. Topic sentences are statements of the main ideas that you intend to explain in your essay. They are the claims that support your argument, and usually are used as the opening sentence in each paragraph. The purpose of the remainder of the paragraph is to back up and elaborate upon the topic sentence.
Examples of topic sentences include:
• ‘Car theft results in significant costs to the Australian public’.
• ‘Certain communities are more vulnerable to car theft than others’.
• ‘Unemployment has a strong influence upon rates of car theft’.
• ‘Explaining car theft requires an understanding of structural theories of crime’.
• ‘Strain theory is better than other theories for a variety of reasons’.

6) Following each topic sentence, briefly indicate what research you are going to use to demonstrate your point. Include a reference to at least one scholarly source.
Examples:
• Topic sentence:Car theft results in significant costs to the Australian public.
• Evidence/research: To demonstrate this point I plan to use a report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2013) outlining the value of cars stolen in Australia in 2012.

• Topic sentence: Explaining car theft requires an understanding of structural theories of crime.
• Evidence/research:Reference Merton’s strain theory as outlined by White &Perrone (2012) and Peterson et al (2006).

7) List each reference in thebibliography.

Important things to remember
Remember to use proper SAGE Harvard formatting for your bibliography.
You can extend beyond journal articles and books in your source selection – statistics from reputable sources are acceptable, particularly when outlining the dimensions of your topic. Feel free to include the sources from your annotated bibliography.
You are not beholden to the ideas you present. The purpose of this assessment is to get you thinking methodically about your topic. Your ideas will probably change as you start writing and researching in depth.
That being said, this is also an opportunity to get feedback about your plan and proposed approach to the topic. Also you are being assessed so submit something worthwhile!
