DOCTORAL (PhD) PROPOSAL WRITING

This book has been written as an International edition to unearth the deep fears and myths of writing a Doctoral Proposal that has currently caused lots of confusion, misinterpretations, ambiguity surrounding the Academic and professional Institutions worldwide. The book therefore demystifies by a step by step simple but technical guide to understanding the complexity of INTERNATIONALLY accepted research methodologies (Quantitative, Qualitative and Mixed) required for academic acumen and competencies required for a doctoral Student. Critical thinking skills of how to conceptualise a problem statement as a deduction of the "background to the study" , literature reviews and methodologies have been clearly compounded and articulated not only for the benefit of the students, but also for Doctoral Supervisors and Academic research committees. Every good or defective doctoral thesis is premised on the successful writing of the Doctoral Proposal document, which acts as a roadmap for Academic committees and Supervisors. This book is a must have resource that shall almost guarantee not only successful but quality written and well articulated Doctoral Thesis and Dissertations.
