An original piece of research work undertaken as part of a Doctor of Philosophy in the field of management. The Doctor of Philosophy is a research degree where the candidate is expected to carry out independent research involving a comprehensive study of a scope and size that could not normally be completed in the equivalent of one and one-half years full time study. The purpose of the degree is to train students in the use of research methodology and techniques and in a critical evaluation appropriate to their field of study. By the end of their candidature the student should be capable of conceiving, designing, implementing and evaluating a research based study that is equivalent to a standard that is internationally recognised in the relevant discipline or disciplines. The thesis should also be consistent with the requirements outlined in Edith Cowan Universitys Doctoral and Masters by Research Handbook.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
This is a self-directed research thesis unit. Progress will be supervised by the principal supervisor and any co-supervisors. The preparation of the thesis will be carried out with support from the supervisors. Assistance with administrative matters may also be sought from the discipline postgraduate course coordinator and staff of the Graduate Research School. The student and their principal supervisor will agree on progress review and submission dates. The procedures associated with progress through Doctoral studies are documented in the Graduate Research School web page. Conditions for Continuation in Good Standing Applicants for Doctor of Philosophy are accepted in the first instance on condition of a successful written submission and candidature is confirmed by oral defence of a detailed research proposal. If the defence is successful, continuation in the Doctor of Philosophy program is granted. Normally this occurs within 6 months after admission if full-time or 12 months after admission if part-time.
