The dissertation is the final requirement for the PhD degree.

The research required for the dissertation must be of publishable quality and a significant contribution in a scholarly field. The dissertation is evidence of the candidate’s proficiency and future potential in research.

Students work closely with faculty throughout the program, and especially in the final phase of dissertation research. These faculty members share with the student the exploration of the field, first as advisors and teachers, and later as colleagues joined to advance the science of management.

  • Program Requirements

Students in the program are expected to master graduate-level microeconomic theory and econometrics. In addition, they are expected to devote substantial time to mastering one additional complementary discipline, such as psychology, sociology, or political science, and developing expertise in research methodologies suited to their particular interests, such as qualitative analysis, designing effective fieldwork, and analysis of survey data.

Students in the Strategy doctoral program work closely with faculty in the Strategy Unit. In addition to the doctoral program in Strategy, the Strategy unit offers a program in Business Economics , which is designed to attract students interested in pursuing research using a purely economics-based methodology.

Curriculum & Coursework

Our programs are full-time degree programs which officially begin in August. Students are expected to complete their program in five years. Typically, the first two years are spent on coursework, at the end of which students take a field exam, and then another three years on dissertation research and writing.

The program requires a minimum of 13 semester long doctoral courses. Students in the Strategy program complete courses in the areas of business management theory, economic theory, quantitative research methods, academic field seminars, and two MBA elective curriculum courses. In addition to HBS courses, students may take courses at other Harvard Schools and MIT.

Research & Dissertation

Students in strategy begin research in their first year typically by working with a faculty member. By their third and fourth years, most students are launched on a solid research and publication stream. The dissertation may take the form of three publishable papers or one longer dissertation.

Examples of thesis research include: the relationship between non-market experience and the use and outcome of patent strategies by pharmaceutical firms; the antecedents and consequences of corporate strategy decision-making, specifically focusing on divestitures and governance; the impact of religion on individual financial choices and institutional structures; innovation in emerging markets; and the causal effect of incentive policy reform, expatriates and social relationships on innovation.

How to Write a Dissertation or Thesis Proposal

Published on September 21, 2022 by Tegan George . Revised on July 18, 2023.

When starting your thesis or dissertation process, one of the first requirements is a research proposal or a prospectus. It describes what or who you want to examine, delving into why, when, where, and how you will do so, stemming from your research question and a relevant topic .

The proposal or prospectus stage is crucial for the development of your research. It helps you choose a type of research to pursue, as well as whether to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.

What should your proposal contain, dissertation question examples, what should your proposal look like, dissertation prospectus examples, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about proposals.

Prior to jumping into the research for your thesis or dissertation, you first need to develop your research proposal and have it approved by your supervisor. It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives .

Depending on your department’s requirements, there may be a defense component involved, where you present your research plan in prospectus format to your committee for their approval.

Your proposal should answer the following questions:

  • Why is your research necessary?
  • What is already known about your topic?
  • Where and when will your research be conducted?
  • Who should be studied?
  • How can the research best be done?

Ultimately, your proposal should persuade your supervisor or committee that your proposed project is worth pursuing.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Strong research kicks off with a solid research question , and dissertations are no exception to this.

Dissertation research questions should be:

  • Focused on a single problem or issue
  • Researchable using primary and/or secondary sources
  • Feasible to answer within the timeframe and practical constraints
  • Specific enough to answer thoroughly
  • Complex enough to develop the answer over the space of a paper or thesis
  • Relevant to your field of study and/or society more broadly
  • What are the main factors enticing people under 30 in suburban areas to engage in the gig economy?
  • Which techniques prove most effective for 1st-grade teachers at local elementary schools in engaging students with special needs?
  • Which communication streams are the most effective for getting those aged 18-30 to the polls on Election Day?

An easy rule of thumb is that your proposal will usually resemble a (much) shorter version of your thesis or dissertation. While of course it won’t include the results section , discussion section , or conclusion , it serves as a “mini” version or roadmap for what you eventually seek to write.

Be sure to include:

  • A succinct introduction to your topic and problem statement
  • A brief literature review situating your topic within existing research
  • A basic outline of the research methods you think will best answer your research question
  • The perceived implications for future research
  • A reference list in the citation style of your choice

The length of your proposal varies quite a bit depending on your discipline and type of work you’re conducting. While a thesis proposal is often only 3-7 pages long, a prospectus for your dissertation is usually much longer, with more detailed analysis. Dissertation proposals can be up to 25-30 pages in length.

Writing a proposal or prospectus can be a challenge, but we’ve compiled some examples for you to get your started.

  • Example #1: “Geographic Representations of the Planet Mars, 1867-1907” by Maria Lane
  • Example #2: “Individuals and the State in Late Bronze Age Greece: Messenian Perspectives on Mycenaean Society” by Dimitri Nakassis
  • Example #3: “Manhood Up in the Air: A Study of Male Flight Attendants, Queerness, and Corporate Capitalism during the Cold War Era” by Phil Tiemeyer

The research methods you use depend on the type of data you need to answer your research question .

  • If you want to measure something or test a hypothesis , use quantitative methods . If you want to explore ideas, thoughts and meanings, use qualitative methods .
  • If you want to analyze a large amount of readily-available data, use secondary data. If you want data specific to your purposes with control over how it is generated, collect primary data.
  • If you want to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables , use experimental methods. If you want to understand the characteristics of a research subject, use descriptive methods.

A thesis or dissertation outline is one of the most critical first steps in your writing process. It helps you to lay out and organize your ideas and can provide you with a roadmap for deciding what kind of research you’d like to undertake.

Generally, an outline contains information on the different sections included in your thesis or dissertation , such as:

  • Your anticipated title
  • Your abstract
  • Your chapters (sometimes subdivided into further topics like literature review , research methods , avenues for future research, etc.)

A well-planned research design helps ensure that your methods match your research aims, that you collect high-quality data, and that you use the right kind of analysis to answer your questions, utilizing credible sources . This allows you to draw valid , trustworthy conclusions.

The priorities of a research design can vary depending on the field, but you usually have to specify:

  • Your research questions and/or hypotheses
  • Your overall approach (e.g., qualitative or quantitative )
  • The type of design you’re using (e.g., a survey , experiment , or case study )
  • Your sampling methods or criteria for selecting subjects
  • Your data collection methods (e.g., questionnaires , observations)
  • Your data collection procedures (e.g., operationalization , timing and data management)
  • Your data analysis methods (e.g., statistical tests  or thematic analysis )

A dissertation prospectus or proposal describes what or who you plan to research for your dissertation. It delves into why, when, where, and how you will do your research, as well as helps you choose a type of research to pursue. You should also determine whether you plan to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.

It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives , ready to be approved by your supervisor or committee.

Note that some departments require a defense component, where you present your prospectus to your committee orally.

Formulating a main research question can be a difficult task. Overall, your question should contribute to solving the problem that you have defined in your problem statement .

However, it should also fulfill criteria in three main areas:

  • Researchability
  • Feasibility and specificity
  • Relevance and originality

Doctoral Students Take On 3MT Challenge

Vishnu Raghuraman

by Sarah Bender , Communications Coordinator

Carnegie Mellon University’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) pits doctoral students against the clock and each other to explain complex research and captivate their audience in just three minutes. Nine finalists will compete in the 3MT Championship on Thursday, March 14, at 6 p.m., in the Tepper School of Business’s Simmons Auditorium A. A livestream will also be available.

3MT is a celebration of research that challenges Ph.D. students to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance in language that anyone can understand. Developed by The University of Queensland in Australia, the competition was brought to Pittsburgh by Helen and Henry Posner, Jr. Dean of Libraries Keith Webster in 2013. Since then, CMU doctoral candidates have joined students at over 900 universities across more than 85 countries worldwide in sharing their work with broad audiences through the competition.

Finalist Vishnu Raghuraman was encouraged to participate in 3MT by one of last year’s finalists , fellow Department of Physics student Byron Daniel. In his presentation, he’ll share his work writing software that can simulate real materials on an atomic level.

Raghuraman’s research specifically looks at a class of materials called multi-principal element alloys, which are amalgams containing several elements in roughly equal concentrations. These materials have many useful properties such as high strength, high durability, and low density, and they could potentially replace existing alloys such as steel.

“However, there are billions of such alloys, making it impractical to physically make each one in a lab and test it out,” Raghuraman said. “Computer simulation is hence necessary to screen these possibilities, making our work important.”

He said he feels a responsibility to be able to communicate his research with a general audience, and 3MT provides a valuable opportunity for him to practice.

“A lot of scientific work is supported by government agencies like the NSF and DOE, which means that they are funded by taxpayer dollars. I think it is the duty of scientists to explain how they have utilized that support to the taxpayers,” he explained. “Additionally, in order to keep a research field active, there has to be a healthy influx of people who want to join the field. This will only happen if the existing researchers actively market their work.”

Nicole Auvil

For finalist Nicole C. Auvil, effective and understandable science communication can encourage participation in science and prevent the spread of misinformation. The Mellon College of Science student, who is studying chemistry , said that explaining research in simple terms has the power to help people understand the world around them.

“Doing science without being able to communicate your research is like baking a cake for a party and leaving it in the refrigerator instead of serving it,” she said. “You wouldn't expect your partygoers to know where the kitchen is, walk to it, open the fridge, remove the cake, and cut themselves a slice — just like how we can't expect the general public to go out of their way to learn and understand science on their own. If we serve it to them pre-sliced and on a plate, maybe they'll indulge.”

Auvil’s research focuses on a chemical analysis instrument known as a mass spectrometer. Typically, samples need to be prepared in a specific way for the instrument to reveal what chemicals are present in the sample. To save time and keep samples intact, Auvil helped develop an attachment that allows a mass spectrometer to act like an electronic nose — the Super Sniffer. By holding up a sample to the attachment, the mass spectrometer is able to detect chemicals emanating from it similar to the way a nose can detect chemicals in the air.

She plans to recruit friends and family to help her practice for the championship.

“While it may not be obvious to me, the non-chemists in my life will quickly be able to identify if I haven't explained a particular topic clearly enough for anyone to understand!” she said.

Benjamin Glaser

Finalist Benjamin Glaser broke his talk into two categories in order to effectively communicate his work: methods and materials. The Materials Science and Engineering student is working with an advanced material discovery model, and using it to design new aluminum alloys with high temperature strength and stability. This would make an alloy usable in applications like the pistons in an internal combustion engine or the intake fans on an aircraft’s engine.

Glaser’s goal is to create a material viable for additive manufacturing — the 3D printing of metals. This is a notoriously difficult environment, he said, as only a small fraction of all aluminum alloys are printable; and even fewer are high strength. He also wants to make an alloy with low cost and low emissions to meet sustainability goals.

Years ago, a writing class taught Glaser that if a scientist can’t communicate their research effectively, no one will be able to use it, no matter how useful the discovery is. He has channeled this lesson into his presentation.

“If I discover an approach for new material development, I need to be able to convey this method to the rest of the field,” he explained. “If I create a new high-performance alloy, I need to present how it is made and how it works, if I want it to be bought and used in industry. If I fail to do either of these, nothing I’ve done will have any impact.”

At the championship, CMU leadership and alumni judges will choose the first-, second- and third-place winners to receive $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000, respectively. Two audience-selected winners will receive $500 for the People’s Choice Award and $750 for the Alumni Award.

Alumni can watch the competition via the livestream, where they can vote to select the Alumni Award winner.

The Three Minute Thesis Championship is free of charge and open to the public. Registration is required to attend the in-person event or to view the livestream.

What is the topic of your doctoral research, and why is it important to study the topic?

The topic of my dissertation is the various processes related to permafrost degradation in Arctic and subarctic regions. Landscapes in these regions are rapidly changing due to pronounced climate warming. Permafrost degradation, in particular, can trigger cascading impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, socio-ecological systems, and climate through various feedback mechanisms, which are not yet fully understood. Better understanding of these processes is crucial for improving Earth System Models and projecting future Arctic development. In my dissertation, I focus on examining two distinct cases of permafrost landscape dynamics. Firstly, I investigate increasingly common landslides related to permafrost degradation and their impact on vegetation cover and reindeer herding in the central Yamal Peninsula in north-west Siberia. Secondly, I study changes in subarctic peatlands in north-west Finnish Lapland, where permafrost can be found in palsa mounds and plateaus. 

What are the key findings or observations of your doctoral research?

The results of the first article showed that landslides have pronounced, long-lasting impacts on tundra vegetation and highlighted the importance of very high-resolution satellite data for mapping small landslides and temporary vegetation cover degradation. The satellite imagery time series also revealed a recent decline in Normalised Difference Vegetation Index commonly used to assess vegetation cover properties, which warrants further investigation. The second article contributed to the understanding of relationships between landscape structure, permafrost conditions, and reindeer habitat use. The results showed that landslide slopes and areas with tall willows were used by reindeer less than other habitats in the area, indicating their limited potential to suppress willow growth on landslide slopes through grazing and trampling. This is important because reindeer have been suggested to counteract impacts of climate warming and prevent open tundra areas from being overgrown by shrubs. Seasonal thaw depth was particularly deep on landslide slopes and under tall willows, but the reindeer habitat use does not seem to affect the permafrost conditions. The findings of the last two articles have implications particularly for the modelling of hydrological and biogeochemical processes of palsa mires, as thaw depth values used in the models are commonly derived based on the habitat classification, which does not reflect small-scale variability of thaw depth within palsas. The last two articles also underline the importance of accurate topographical data, both for monitoring permafrost degradation and estimating seasonal thaw depth in palsas.

What are the key research methods and materials used in your doctoral research?

The ‘coupled analysis’ in the title of my dissertation refers to the analyses of various combinations of remotely sensed data and data collected in the field. Overall, remote sensing is an overarching component in all four articles comprising this thesis. I used optical, thermal, and digital elevation data with varying temporal and spatial resolutions derived using a variety of platforms: satellites, aerial photography, and Unoccupied Aerial Systems. Diverse field measurements also played an important role, ranging from being basic ground truthing data (Article I) to serving as model training and testing data sets (Article III), and being a significant part of the entire research (Articles II and IV). Field data include land and vegetation cover observations, pellet-group counting for the analysis of reindeer habitat use, active-layer thickness measurements, which indicate the depth of seasonally thawing and freezing layer above permafrost, high-accuracy Real Time Kinematic GNSS measurements, and climate data acquired from local meteorological stations. Methods used encompass various remote sensing techniques, such as land cover change detection, manual feature mapping, digital terrain analyses and application of machine learning algorithms, as well as different statistical analyses.

I would like to highlight the importance of multidisciplinary and international collaborations in all four articles. Overall, a variety of perspectives and expertise, including local and indigenous knowledge, are crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of complex issues such as the impacts of climate warming in the Arctic.

The doctoral dissertation of Mariana Verdonen , MSc, entitled Periglacial landscape dynamics: coupled analysis of a changing Arctic using remote sensing and field observations will be examined at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies at Joensuu Campus on 22 March 2024, 12:00–15:00. The Opponent in the public examination will be Associate Professor Heather Reese of the University of Gothenburg, and the Custos will be Professor Timo Kumpula  of the University of Eastern Finland. Language of the doctoral defence is English.
