DISSERTATION paper On User data privacy

Put an introduction section here. Your research prospectus will be a narrative that details the major components of your proposed research, developed at a relatively early stage of your doctoral program. The prospectus guides your preparation of the full-blown Research Proposal, and it will serve as a roadmap for continued refinement of your thinking as you progress in your doctoral program.

The Prospectus should be 3-5 double-spaced pages, APA 7th edition formatted. Include a title page and reference list (not included in page count). The title page should include a working title for your dissertation. Develop the working title after you have completed the prospectus and have developed and selected a tentative Research Question.

In the body of the Prospectus, include headings for each section. Use complete sentences and paragraphs to craft the body each section, no bullet points please. Also, write your prospectus in the future tense. Any mention of a study in past tense is an indication of plagiarism. Using the pronoun “we” in an individual paper is also a troubling sign indicating that the verbiage came from an existing source, not the individual student. You are working alone, so there is no “we.”

Research Problem or Opportunity

Address the following:

Describe the Problem or Opportunity your research will address. Why is it important to explore this problem or opportunity?

Write 2-4 carefully considered paragraphs. Include several different sources from the literature in your discussion.

Your proposed research must encompass the following:

· A problem or opportunity that is of interest to you

· A direct connection to your concentration

Note that you can use “this researcher” instead of personal pronouns for a more academic tone, e.g. “With several years in the industry, this researcher has observed that managers often under estimate software project completion timelines.” How does your proposed research reflect a problem or opportunity in IT, specifically in your concentration? How does your proposed research reflect a problem or opportunity that is of interest to you?

In addition to describing the research problem using a few scholarly sources, write at least one carefully considered paragraph making the connection between your proposed research and your personal interest in this topic.

Research Question

For this exercise, you will practice developing research questions related to the topic that you have been chosen. Note: This exercise might result in a question that you will decide to use for your research. It is recommended that you consider this exercise a starting point for developing a research question that you will refine later as you work with your mentor.

Using your notes, develop two potential research questions that contain the following:

· What? or How?

· Region

· Industry or Sector

· Organizational Context

· Managerial Context

· Theoretical context

· Methodological Context

Before you develop your question, complete the following:

a) Complete the table below

b) Review the examples of actual research questions

Component	Specific to Your Proposed Research
What? or How?
Organizational Context
Managerial Context
Industry or Sector
Theoretical Context
Methodological Context

Examples of research questions from actual dissertations:

· How does the implementation of Appreciative Inquiry, applied virtually, impact the LNOC’s (Libyan National Oil Corporation) awareness of its effect on air quality? Elmabrok, F.

· What leadership style do ARPC (Air Reserve Personnel Center – Denver) managers prefer to use? Sampayo, J.

· How do organizational leaders plan and develop an IT infrastructure strategy in a rapidly changing IT environment? Waheed, M.

· What is the employees’ perspective of engagement in a pharmaceutical/biotech organization? Trivedi, M.

· Based on the lived experiences of management master graduates from both online and ground programs, what are the similarities and differences in their experiences with employers when job and promotion seeking? Goodloe, A.

Research Question 1:

Research Question 2:

Gap in Literature

One of the outcomes of your literature review and preparation thus far is to identify what is called “a gap in the body of knowledge.” The gap indicates where research has not been done yet. Your research in the area of this “gap” will yield a small, but valuable “contribution to the body of knowledge.”

After the work you have done so far, what is the “gap in the body of knowledge” that you have identified? A great source to use to identify a gap in the literature is found in recent journal articles. In virtually every journal article reporting the results of original research, you’ll find a section recommending future research. Most dissertations also have a mandatory section where the author must recommend future research that will expand on their own project. Citing these authors correctly can help you tell the story that justifies your research project.

Purpose of the Research

Your dissertation project will have a specific purpose. It will test a theory using new data, or provide actionable data to managers in the field, or explore a phenomenon. Check out this website, it has “fill in the blank” purpose statements you can use.

Conclusion

Conclude your paper here, emphasizing the most important points. It would be good to conclude by restating the importance of the research so the reader goes away feeling that the author has identified a worthwhile project.
