Module 3 – Case

Case Assignment

Methods Exploration

Although you won’t solidify your research design until you’ve completed the work involved in developing a great Literature Review, there are some key elements you can begin to determine now. One of the first things you need to think through is “Based on your exploration of your topic in the literature so far, where does your proposed research fall on the continuum of Exploratory to Mature research?”

Please review the following article:

Edmondson, A. C. & McManus, S. E. (2007). Methodological fit in management field research. Academy of Management Review, 32(4), 1155-1179.

Assignment Expectations

• Based on your review of the article above, what are the indicators that your research and selected methods are relevant to your DSP topic?
• Based on where your proposed research relates to your applied research topic, what method(s) are appropriate? Please explain why the method(s) is/are appropriate and relate your explanation back to the proposed study.

Module 3 – SLP

Chapter 1 – Introduction

Your Chapter 1 – Introduction will be a narrative that details the major components of your proposed research, developed at a relatively early stage of your doctoral program. The introduction guides your preparation of the full-blown DSP Research Proposal, and will serve as a roadmap for continued refinement of your thinking as you progress into the DBA doctoral program.

The Chapter 1- Introduction should be 15-20 double-spaced pages, APA 7th edition formatted. Include a title page and reference list (not included in page count). The title page should include a working title for your dissertation. Develop the working title after you’ve completed the prospectus and have developed and selected your established Research Question(s).

In the body of Chapter 1, DO include headings for each section. Use complete sentences and paragraphs to craft the body each section.

Introductory Section (Your Prospectus should not have a heading for the introductory section, per APA 7th edition)

After you’ve completed the sections below, craft and introductory section that:

• Tells the reader what this document is about
• Tells the reader how the document is organized

A. Research Problem or Opportunity

Address the following question:

Describe the Problem or Opportunity your research will address. Why is it important to explore this problem or opportunity? Write 2-4 carefully considered paragraphs. Include 5-10 different sources from the literature in your discussion.

For A1 – A3 Research Problem or Opportunity

Your proposed research must encompass all of the following:

• A problem or opportunity that is of interest to you
• A direct connection to your field of study (i.e., computer science or management)
• A direct connection to your concentration

A1. How does your proposed research reflect a problem or opportunity in your field? Write 3-5 carefully considered paragraphs making the connection between your proposed research and your field. Include 5-10 different sources from the literature in your discussion.

A2. How does your proposed research reflect a problem or opportunity in your Concentration? Write 3-5 carefully considered paragraphs making the connection between your proposed research and your concentration. Include 5-10 different sources from the literature in your discussion.

A3. How does your proposed research reflect a problem or opportunity that is of interest to you? Write 3-5 carefully considered paragraphs making the connection between your proposed research and your personal interest in this topic. Include 5-10 different sources from the literature in your discussion.

B. Key Literature

There are several types of literature that will appear in your literature review:

Contextual Literature – recent literature that helps the researcher define, and the reader understand, the setting in which the research will occur. This literature may be found in peer reviewed literature, and may also be found in industry and trade publications, as well as the popular (credible) press.

Seminal literature – Conceptual or Research-based – typically peer- reviewed articles or scholarly books developed at the beginning of a field, recognized as relevant either historically and/or currently. A sign of relevance is that others cite this literature in their work.

Recent Literature – Conceptual or Research-based – typically peer reviewed articles or scholarly books published within the last five years, recognized as relevant in the field. A sign of relevance is that others cite this literature in their work.

B1. Context

Write 2-3 paragraphs about the Context of your proposed research, utilizing 5-10 different sources.

B2. Seminal Literature

Write 2-3 paragraphs about your proposed research topic, utilizing 5-10 different sources from the peer-reviewed, seminal literature.

B3. Recent Literature

2-3 paragraphs related to your proposed research topic utilizing 5-10 different sources from the peer-reviewed, recent literature.

C. Gap in Literature

One of the outcomes of your literature review and preparation thus far is to identify what is called “a gap in the body of knowledge.” The gap indicates where research has not been done yet. Your research in the area of this “gap” will yield a small, but valuable “contribution to the body of knowledge.”

After the work you’ve done so far, what is the “gap in the body of knowledge” you have identified?

D. Assumptions and Biases

As you develop your literature review, you will identify contextual, seminal theoretical/research-based literature, and recent theoretical/research-based literature. Through this process, you will confirm or identify a gap in the body of knowledge – an area that has not been researched. You will also begin to clarify your overarching research question. As part of the process, you must become aware of the assumptions and biases you bring to the proposed research. Your biases and assumptions should become more apparent as you pick and choose amongst the possible literature sources you find, how you place them in your literature review, and the emphasis you give to certain viewpoints represented in the literature.

Reflect on the biases you bring to your proposed research. List at least five biases. Do not list assumptions about how you will conduct your research, nor how you expect others to respond. This section should be dedicated to the assumptions, biases and other pre-conceived notions you have about the phenomenon you plan to study. Conclude your prospectus y with a brief discussion and summary.

E. Research Question(s)

For this exercise you will practice developing research questions related to the topic you have been developing in your Research and Writing courses and through supplemental

Part I – Before you develop your question review and list 10 examples of research questions you think are well-conceived from published dissertations (ProQuest Database). Include the citations for each dissertation in your reference list

Part II – Using your draft literature review and other notes develop ONE research question that contains:

• What? Or How?
• Region
• Industry or Sector
• Organizational Context
• Theoretical context
• Methodological Context
• Review the examples of actual research questions in other dissertations

Examples of research questions from actual dissertations:

How does the implementation of Appreciative Inquiry, applied virtually, impact the LNOC’s (Libyan National Oil Corporation) awareness of its effect on air quality?” Elmabrok, F. ·

What leadership style do ARPC (Air Reserve Personnel Center – Denver) managers prefer to use? Sampayo, J.

How do organizational leaders plan and develop an IT infrastructure strategy in a rapidly changing IT environment? Waheed, M. · ”

What is the employees’ perspective of engagement in a pharmaceutical/biotech organization?” Trivedi, M. · ”

Based on the lived experiences of management master graduates from both online and ground programs, what are the similarities and differences in their experiences with employers when job and promotion seeking?” Goodloe, A.

Methods Exploration

Although you won’t solidify your research design until you’ve completed the work involved in developing a great Literature Review, there are some key elements you can begin to determine now within the body of Chapter 1. One of the first things you need to think through is “Based on your exploration of your topic in the literature so far, where does your proposed research fall on the continuum of Exploratory to Mature research?”

Please find and review the following article:

Edmondson, A.C. & McManus, S.E. (2007). Methodological fit in management field research. Academy of Management Review. Vol. 32. No. 4 This article may not be in the library but is widely accessible on the WWW.

• Based on your review of the article, “Where on the Scientific Continuum is your research?” What are the indicators that your research is located at this point on the continuum?
• Based on where your proposed research falls on the continuum*, what method(s) are appropriate? Please explain WHY this/these methods are appropriate and relate your explanation back to the continuum.

Summary

Please present a brief recap of your Chapter 1. Include a discussion of what you learned as you developed your Prospectus. Present a discussion of next steps you will take over the next three quarters – how will you: a) continue to develop your mastery of the literature, b) develop the components of chapter one of a dissertation, and c) further develop your ideas about your research design and methods.

Please submit your assignment.

SLP Assignment Expectations

The students’ submission should adhere to the required deliverable length. The primary focus for this assignment is both a reflection from a personal and academic perspective regarding academic research and a discussion of what direction it is leading the students toward in their completion of their dissertation. Specific practices should be identified from the individual student’s experiences surrounding the academic research process, and furthermore, the successful identification of not only credible resources, but credible academic resources that are relevant and pertinent to the dissertation topic itself should be discussed.

The first paper will be a DATA-BASED research paper on any topic related to forensic psychology.These should take the form of a data-based analysis of a controversial area in forensic psychology, wherein you use data from research studies (particularly peer-reviewed journal articles, such as those available on PsychINFO or Google Scholar) to weight evidence for a particular issue.Examples might include (but are not limited to):

Does media violence contribute to societal violence?

What is the evidence for and against the concept of “microaggressions?”

What are the debates about how to assess rape prevalence?

Are certain minorities overrepresented in crime, or is there racial bias in the criminal justice system (or both?)

Does the death penalty deter capital crimes?

Are gun regulations effective in reducing gun crimes?

Do certain mental illness increase risk for criminal behavior?

My topic is: Are people with narcissist personality disorder/tendencies more prone to aggressive behavior?

Whatever topic you choose, you should NOT argue for a particular position (e.g. “Microaggressions are real”) but rather present a BALANCED coverage of the topic (e.g. “The evidence that microaggressions are real is X, Y; the evidence they are not real is Q, R.”These papers should have a title page (with staple!), abstract and reference section (10 references minimum, journal articles, scholarly books, legal decisions are all acceptable references), and should be 10 pages long, not including title page, abstract or references.Format is Times New Roman, double spaced, 12-point font, 1” margins.

Choose one of these reading prompts to respond to (there are multiple parts to each reading prompt, you must answer all parts). Wooden & Blazak Chapter 8, 9, 10 and Final Thoughts

Renegade Kids, Suburban Outlaws: From Youth Culture to Delinquency

Authors: Wayne Wooden & Randy Blazak)

Publisher: Wadsworth Publishing

Ted Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gross_why_gun_violen…

1. Suburban outlaws are not just part of a youth culture, instead they represent an extreme delinquency that starts with suburban school shooters. As they “leave their marks for all to see” what is the rationale for their violence? Is it simply that they are disaffected youth? Explain why or why not. Is it social and cultural alienation? Explain why or why not. What can we do as a society to change this culture of juvenile violence? Use information from the chapters to answer these questions.

2. Consider the clear similarities to the transitional time of the 1990s and of the mid to late 2010s. As Wooden & Blazak claim, there was a belief that “the safe-cocoon of middle-class youth was eroding.” Respond to this statement taking the time to consider what the authors have to say about increased pessimism and the American Dream and how this is relevant in 2018. What political, social and economic forces make this true today?
