MBA dissertation report chapter 7 for the consulting-cum-academic dissertation project type (re: the agile literature review approach)
Chapter 7: Conclusions
7.1 Chapter introduction
Recap the dissertation's dual orientation, restating the unified research theme (e.g., resilience amid HK banking downsizing) and how it was pursued through bridged concepts/frameworks (Polaris Duo-Compass, Stratified Prism Lens) across academic and consulting tracks.
Overall Research Contributions
Academic Contributions
Summarize theory refinements and gap closures (e.g., stratified trust-leadership mechanisms validated under critical realism).
Highlight methodological novelty (e.g., dual-framework mixed methods for management research).
Outline future research agenda (3-5 propositions, e.g., longitudinal tests in other Asian banking contexts).
Consulting/Practical Contributions
Recap key diagnostics and prioritized recommendations (e.g., resilience blockers addressed via phased interventions).
Emphasize client value (e.g., tools, ROI estimates, implementation roadmap for HKMA compliance).
Note transferability to similar sectors (e.g., fintech disruptions).
Reflections on Dual Orientation
Strengths of the Bridging Approach
Polaris Duo-Compass enabled precise concept operationalization; Stratified Prism Lens unified stratified insights.
Mixed methods delivered triangulated rigor suitable for part-time MBA scope.
Study Limitations
Scope constraints (e.g., sample size, HK-specific generalizability).
Positionality influences on practitioner access and mechanism interpretation.
Final Remarks and Implications
Reiterate how the dissertation exemplifies consulting-academic balance: theoretical enrichment (Ch.5) fuels actionable deliverables (Ch.6), advancing both scholarship and practice. End with a forward-looking statement on the theme's enduring relevance (e.g., "In volatile banking landscapes, stratified resilience remains a strategic imperative").
