Dissertation topic formulation approaches

There are two dissertation topic formulation approaches: The easy approach and the challenging  approach: 


The easy approach: come up with a topic that appears sufficiently sophisticated but is intellectually easy to do. The problem: do not expected to have sophisticated analysis content in the dissertation reports nor inspiring findings/ recommendations. High risk of the dissertation report earning a failure grade and minimal intellectual learning in the project process. Difficult to produce quality content to meet dissertation report word count requirement.

The challenging approach: learn  some powerful intellectual concepts to apply on a serious and challenging topic with the purpose of producing some findings with high practical and academic values in the dissertation reports. High risk of committing much time to learn and investigate on the dissertation topic. May need additional personal coaching to support the dissertation work and intellectual learning required.
