...Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Tracy M. Balduzzi Grand Canyon University Academic and Identity Development of Doctoral Students: A Comparative Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Education has evolved in recent decades, renewing interest for research examining identity development, critical thinking, and socialization in doctoral study. Delivery methods, diverse student populations, and varied academic programs present academia with more challenges and opportunities for creating and developing scholars. This paper will describe three articles on identity development while discussing critical thinking skills in doctoral students. The articles analyzed in this paper are (Article 1)“Socialization of Doctoral Students to Academic Norms” by Weidman and Stein (2003), (Article 2)“Developmental Networks and Learning: Toward an interdisciplinary Perspective on Identity Development during Doctoral Study” by Baker and Lattuca (2010), and (Article 3) “Critical Thinking Distance Education and Traditional Education” by Visser, Visser, and Schlosser (2003). This paper compares research questions, literature review, sample populations, limitations, and conclusions. The author will conclude with discussions on the relationship between articles and opportunities for future research. Comparison of Purpose and Research Questions Article 1 and Article 2 are similar in research questions and overall purpose; developing doctoral professional identity.

...Business Related Discipline Research Articles Qing Tian I. Introduction Business and economics papers have made a significant contribution to the development of the corporations and economics growth. However, it may be difficult for the readers to fully understand the materials if the structure of the papers is very complicated. In recent decades, there is an increasing trend in the complicacy of business and economics papers (Ellison, 2000). This phenomenon will induce more complexity in comprehending profound research papers. Regarding it, some basic models have been invented to give a general guideline of the building blocks of the research papers. For example, for writing an introduction of an article, Swales (1990) introduced a rhetorical pattern called create-a-research-space (CARS) which segments the introduction into three major parts, namely move 1, 2 and 3. The move 1 aims to give a background information of the topic of the research paper, depicting a general picture of which area the paper will fall into. The next move known as niche basically serves to connect move 1 and 3, illustrating the motive and inspiration of the paper (Swales & Feak, 2012). Followed by niche is the main purpose of the article. By presenting in either a purposive or descriptive way, the author can show a ultimate goal of the article. However, although some kinds of standardizations have been made to formalize the research papers, the construction of journals articles may vary extremely across...

...for essay#1 IMPORTANT Guidelines for essay - You are doing a short research paper. Therefore, you need come up with research questions or thesis. Think what interests you in what we cover in the class. For example, o If you are interested in outsourcing, your research questions could be “Is the US better off or worse off because of the outsourcing to China?”. Then you go do a research on it. Find academic articles or news articles that support and/or against outsourcing. o You do research by reading those articles that you found and then combine the information you find into a unified paper that represents your fully formed expertise. The key to the whole thing is "combining," so as you do your research, look for facts and information that go well together and help explain (or disagree with) each other o You may start your introduction and research questions. Then start a second paragraph with a short explanation of what is “outsourcing” and state facts such as how many dollars or how many jobs the US outsourced to China in 2010. o The paper must show an analysis of a real world outsourcing situation such as what are the problems with the outsourcing, why there are the problems, how to fix the problems, what the pros and cons of each solution are, and how it will affect consumers who buy imported goods at Walmart or exporters to China. o Warning: You should have one or two research questions...

Choi ∗ , Mei Li Department of Supply Chain Management, W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-4706, United States a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Our study examines the state of qualitative case studies in operations management. Five main operations management journals are included for their impact on the field. They are in alphabetical order: Decision Sciences, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Operations Management, Management Science, and Production and Operations Management. The qualitative case studies chosen were published between 1992 and 2007. With an increasing trend toward using more qualitative case studies, there have been meaningful and significant contributions to the field of operations management, especially in the area of theory building. However, in many of the qualitative case studies we reviewed, sufficient details in research design, data collection, and data analysis were missing. For instance, there are studies that do not offer sampling logic or a description of the analysis through which research outcomes are drawn. Further, research protocols for doing inductive case studies are much better developed compared to the research protocols for doing deductive case studies. Consequently, there is a lack of consistency...

This study highlights this fact and has found tenure to be a likely cause for the lack of Asia-focused articles. This stems from the strong emphasis universities place on the publishing of articles and with the belief that there is a lack of reliable data on Asia, researchers are less inclined to conduct studies on Asia given that top economics journals require accurate and dependable data for publishing. 1 FYP Project Number: HE_2AY1415_09 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We, the authors of this paper, would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Chia Wai Mun, Associate Professor, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Nanyang Technology University, for her unwavering support and constant...

Volume 14, Number 13, June 2009 ISSN 1531-7714 A Guide to Writing the Dissertation Literature Review Justus J. Randolph Walden University Writing a faulty literature review is one of many ways to derail a dissertation. This article summarizes some pivotal information on how to write a high-quality dissertation literature review. It begins with a discussion of the purposes of a review, presents taxonomy of literature reviews, and then discusses the steps in conducting a quantitative or qualitative literature review. The article concludes with a discussion of common mistakes and a framework for the self-evaluation of a literature review. Writing a faulty literature review is one of many ways to derail a dissertation. If the literature review is flawed, the remainder of the dissertation may also be viewed as flawed, because “a researcher cannot perform significant research without first understanding the literature in the field” (Boote & Beile, 2005, p. 3). Experienced thesis examiners know this. In a study of the practices of Australian dissertation examiners, Mullins and Kiley (2002) found that, Examiners typically started reviewing a dissertation with...

...Business research is the application of the scientific method in searching for the truth about business phenomena. These activities include defining business opportunities and problems, generating and evaluating alternative courses of action, and monitoring employee and organizational performance. It is the way that a company can do a field of practical study to obtain data and analyze it in order to better manage the company. Executives and managers who use business research methods are able to better understand their company, the position it holds in the market and how to improve that position. “Business research is unique from other research because business researchers do not just gather knowledge, but also generate action. Business researchers deliberately and consciously investigate problems or perceived gaps from “what is” to “what should be (JIU, 2012, BC 500, Module 1, Theme 1, para 1). “Critical Success Factors in the Performance of Female Owned Businesses: A Study of Female Entrepreneurs in Korea” by Sang Suk Lee and Timothy M.
