Business/Management Dissertation & Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a business-related research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various management-related degree programs (e.g., MBAs, DBAs, etc.) to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

• Sustaining Microbreweries Beyond 5 Years (Yanez, 2022)
• Perceived Stakeholder and Stockholder Views: A Comparison Among Accounting Students, Non-Accounting Business Students And Non-Business Students (Shajan, 2020)
• Attitudes Toward Corporate Social Responsibility and the New Ecological Paradigm among Business Students in Southern California (Barullas, 2020)
• Entrepreneurial opportunity alertness in small business: a narrative research study exploring established small business founders’ experience with opportunity alertness in an evolving economic landscape in the Southeastern United States (Hughes, 2019)

• Science Data Sharing: Applying a Disruptive Technology Platform Business Model (Edwards, 2022)
• Impact of Hurricanes on Small Construction Business and Their Recovery (Sahu, 2022)

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

In today’s world, the role of Information Technology (IT) has become an essential tool to the success of every business. A major strategy in ensuring cost reduction, security and remaining efficient and effective in today’s modern business environment is the use of recently emerged IT in business. Better decision-making among businesses will elevate the danger of failure and instead remain competitive. This paper sought to assess the relevance of IT on accounting practices in relation to financial reporting by Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana; that is determining whether or not IT systems have better influence on accounting practices in relation to organizational performances. Majority of SMEs used in the study indicated that IT provide security with financial information, hence the result of this research showed positive correlation between IT and its usage in financial reporting. According to this study, the use of IT has a positive impact on the accounting practices which directly enhance performance of businesses. Business organizations are however encouraged to embrace IT systems in full capacity for their accounting practices to ensure fast track of their financial reporting to users of accounting information. It would be added advantage if government of developing countries will advocate and create more awareness on the importance of IT in business to ensure development.
