An example of conducting step 1 of the 3-steps method to product a partial dissertation proposal: for MBA students (information from perplexity.ai)

My question: "I am a part-time MBA student, currently studying the subject of Research Project. I am interested to formulate a research theme that considers the research sub-topics of: (1) organizational communication strategies, (2) employee morale, and (3) business performance of 5-star hotels. Please suggest 4 concrete research themes based on these 3 sub-topics for me."

The reply: "Here are four concrete research themes for your MBA Research Project, integrating organizational communication strategies, employee morale, and business performance in 5-star hotels:

1. Impact of Transparent Communication Strategies on Employee Morale and Business Performance in 5-Star Hotels

This theme explores how transparent and open communication practices (such as regular feedback, leadership accessibility, and information sharing) influence employee morale and, in turn, affect key business performance indicators like guest satisfaction, revenue, and operational efficiency in 5-star hotels.​

2. The Role of Transformational Leadership in Enhancing Employee Morale and Driving Business Performance in Luxury Hospitality

This theme investigates how transformational leadership behaviors—such as inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration—affect employee morale and contribute to improved business outcomes in 5-star hotels.​

3. Organizational Communication and Employee Engagement: Effects on Service Quality and Financial Performance in 5-Star Hotels

This theme examines the relationship between organizational communication strategies (e.g., internal newsletters, digital platforms, and team meetings) and employee engagement, and how these factors collectively impact service quality and financial performance metrics in luxury hotels.​

4. Employee Morale, Communication Channels, and Operational Efficiency: A Comparative Study of 5-Star Hotels in Competitive Markets

This theme compares different communication channels (face-to-face, digital, and hybrid) and their effectiveness in maintaining high employee morale, and analyzes how these factors relate to operational efficiency and business performance across multiple 5-star hotels in a competitive market.​

Each of these themes offers a clear, researchable focus that connects your three sub-topics and is relevant to current industry challenges and academic literature in hospitality management."
