Research objective formulation based on dissertation project type: a note

Research objective formulation methods differ by dissertation project type:


1. Consulting-oriented project type: research objective formulation is management-concerns driven. E.g.

Management concern: [urgent management concern]: concerned about the business model innovation competence of ABC Ltd.

The corresponding research objective is: to evaluate the business model innovation competence of ABC Ltd.


2. Academic-oriented project type: research objective formulation is research-gap driven. 

E.g. The research gap identified: The existing academic literature has little to say, e.g. lack of specific empowerment theories, about how to empower working mothers in the construction engineering field in Hong Kong.

The corresponding research objective is: to evaluate working mother empowerment practices in the construction engineering field in Hong Kong via the theoretical employee empowerment lens.
