An updated guide to apply Leon Lai's gold statement for producing an MBA dissertation proposal prototype

An updated guide to apply Leon Lai's gold statement for producing an MBA dissertation proposal prototype


The gold statement of Leon Lai is "not to eat breakfast empty-stomached" [唔空肚食早餐]; in the context of producing an MBA dissertation proposal prototype, that basically means learning and conducting a number of exploratory tasks. These tasks are explained in the following blog notes:

  1. how to produce a preliminary dissertation proposal prototype (version 0)
  2. how to formulate a crude research theme for MBA dissertation proposal formulation
  3. on MBA research theme brainstorming with one of the key words being a different research philosophy
  4. formulating an MBA research theme that is multi-disciplinary in nature
  5. turning an MBA concrete research theme into a dissertation proposal prototype: an example on reskilling and upskilling in HK banks


By following the suggested way to conduct the preliminary exploratory exercise, an MBA student should be able to produce a preliminary MBA dissertation proposal prototype. To improve the quality of the proposal prototype produced, the student is recommended to also conduct some initial learning on the subject of research methods (e.g. study the lecture notes on research methods). The overall learning process involved in the whole MBA dissertation life cycle is portrayed in my practice note on this topic.
