Description
This is a doctorial level business class. This is a DBA research class. There are 6 task that has to be completed and 6 discussions (the discussion is 250 words). Each task is individual. You can’t do TASK 2 if you haven’t received a passing grade on TASK 1, and you can’t move on to TASK 3, if you haven’t received a passing grade on TASK 1 and TASK 2. This is an 8 weeks course. However, there are only 6 TASK. There is also a change matrix. Whatever correction that are mentioned by the teacher, the corrections has to be made and the work has to be resubmitted. I would like to continue with the same person once the work has begun. I’ve failed this class 3x now at the rate of ($3000.00/class). So please i can not afford to fail again. I need someone who understands the requirement and is willing to do the work, put in the time, and follow the instructions precisely. I’ve attached the instructions. Please make sure you’re always available for the 8 weeks once the class has begun. The change matrix is important and has to be completed as well during the course.

DBA Research Concept Guide
Overview
You have reached this point because you have passed all DBA core classes and you are ready to
develop a research concept for your Applied Doctoral Research Project (ADRP). As you work
your way through this course you will conduct research and develop the key elements of a viable
doctoral level research project, culminating in an approved ADRP Concept Paper. While your final
research concept will be approved by your Research Chair once you start your ADRP courses, the
work you put in here will give you a solid starting point and help ensure that you are able to hit
the ground running.
You are no longer a student – This course marks the start of your transition from student to
doctoral candidate. This is a significant milestone that shifts the burden from a professor in a course
teaching you things you do not know to you applying what you have already learned! Your
professor is here to evaluate your work and point out areas for improvement, not teach you how to
accomplish each task. You are responsible for reviewing the guidelines provided and submitting
work that is compliant them. When you hit a roadblock or do not understand a particular aspect of
your research project you need to be able to work your way through the issue by studying the
problem, conducting further research, and determining the best solution.
The DBA ADRP Research Concept Paper will be developed incrementally. Each task listed below
allows you to focus on one aspect of the research concept and then use the approved tasks to build
up to the completed document. It is important that you use approved tasks when you start
combining them into a single document. If you do need to make changes to a previously approved
document, you need to coordinate that with your professor. Finally, do not move to the next task
in the sequence until the current one is approved. As described, these build upon each other so
working ahead could result in significant revisions!
The following tasks will be completed in this course:
Task 1: Problem Statement Outline
Task 2: Research Questions
Task 3: Methodology
Task 4: Research Framework Outline
Task 5: Draft Research Concept
Task 6: Final Research Concept
Submitting your work – This course is self-paced and you must complete all tasks in order to pass
and move on to the ADRP. Only work on one task at a time and do not move to the next task until
the current one has been approved (Grade of ‘1’ Posted). You can submit your work as soon as
you complete it, just be sure to email your instructor to let them know that you have submitted a
task for review.

DBA Research Concept Guide
General Guidance
This section provides general guidance related to research paradigms, research study type,
methodology, research framework, study location, and sample size. Please review this information
carefully. There are specific research types and methods associated with the degree plan you are
pursuing.
Research Study Type
For DBA students taking BUSI 987 – 990, the Research Study type is a Dissertation
For DBA students taking BUSI 887 – 890, the Research Study type can be either a Case
Study Project or a Consulting Project
Note: Students wishing to conduct the consulting project should be sure to include BUSI 830,
Case Study Research Methods and Consulting Techniques, in their degree plan to gain a better
understanding of the Lean Six Sigma tools that must be used in the research project.
With the dissertation or case study project approach, the student begins by researching the
literature to find a problem, develops a research proposal to study the problem, and then finds an
organization within which to study the problem. With the consulting project approach, the student
begins with an organization with a problem, researches the literature to better understand the
problem, and then develops a proposed solution to the problem. In all three cases, a problem
statement based upon the current literature must be developed.
Research Paradigms
A research paradigm is essentially a worldview that a researcher brings to their study. It represents
the researcher’s view of reality or truth. While there is ongoing discussion regarding which
paradigms exist in the modern research community, it is useful to focus on Positivism, PostPositivism, Constructivism, and Pragmatism for most researchers. Researchers should conduct
independent research on this topic to understand what their research paradigm is as it will shape
how the researcher approaches the problem being studied. It is also important to note that while
some paradigms lend themselves better to certain methodologies, the choice of methodology does
not change the paradigm. This is part of who the researcher is and how they view the world. For
this course and the research project, the researcher should identify which of the following best
describes their view of the world and reality. The researcher should also be able to describe why
that is the case:
Positivism – Single objective reality that we seek to discover.
Post-Positivism – Single objective reality that we seek to discover with the knowledge
that we never will fully understand it.
Constructivism – Reality is determined by the individual and the researcher seeks to
understand that view of reality.
Pragmatism – Focus on the ‘problem’ rather than the view of reality, using any tools
available to understand the problem.

DBA Research Concept Guide
Methodology
The methodology is how the researcher will study the problem at a very high level, all research
will be conducted using one of the following research approaches. The researcher will need to be
able to explain the application and benefits of each type of research:
Fixed Design using Quantitative Methods
Flexible Design using Qualitative Methods
Mixed-Methods Design using Quantitative and Qualitative Methods
Fixed Designs are fully defined (fixed) as part of the research proposal and following the proposal,
the researcher executes the research and analysis using quantitative tools as described in the
research proposal. Flexible designs on the other hand are defined in a general sense as part of the
research proposal and following the proposal, the researcher is free to adjust (flexible) the research
as is necessary using qualitative tools as described. Mixed-Methods Designs as the name implies,
use a combination of both in relatively equal amounts. This should not be confused with a Flexible
Design that might use a small number of quantitative methods to provide for triangulation of the
data found through the primary qualitative methods, such as the use of descriptive statistics to
show demographics or other relevant numerical data. The choice of research approach is guided
by the research problem, purpose, and research questions.
Within each research approach, there are specific methods (the research tool) that can be employed.
The table below lists the most common methods employed in the three research types of research
designs. Once selected, the method becomes the methodology or specific ‘research design’ for the
study. Please note that the options for conducting your research are limited based upon the track
that you are in (ADRP vs. Dissertation) and by the nature of the DBA degree (Applied Research
vs. Pure Research).
Fixed Design Methods
Flexible Design Methods
Mixed-Methods Design Methods
Experimental
Narrative
Convergent parallel
Quasi-experimental
Phenomenology
Explanatory Sequential
Nonexperimental
Grounded Theory
Exploratory Sequential
Transformative
Descriptive
Case Study
Correlational
Single Case Study
Causal-Comparative
Multiple Case Study
Ethnography
Common Methods for fixed, flexible, and mixed research designs.
March 10, 2020
Page 5 of 22
Liberty University School of Business
DBA Research Concept Guide
For DBA students taking BUSI 987 – 990 (DBA Dissertation Track) the following designs &
methods can be used:
Fixed Designs
Flexible Designs
Mixed-Methods Designs
Correlational
Case Study
Convergent parallel
Causal-Comparative
Single Case Study
Multiple Case Study
Phenomenology
Ethnography
For DBA students taking BUSI 887 – 890 (DBA Project Track) the following designs can be
used:
Consulting Project – Single Case Study with Lean Six Sigma Framework
Case Study Project – Single Case Study
Note: For the Consulting Project, the Lean Six Sigma Framework provides qualitative and
quantitative tools to be used in the DMAIC process. For the Case Study Project, quantitative tools
will be used for triangulation and descriptive statistics.
An effective way to begin the discussion of methodology is to start with the sentence: “This study
will be conducted with a XXXXX design using XXXXX method(s) specifically, a XXXXX design
will be used”
Examples:
This study will be conducted with a flexible design using qualitative methods specifically, a single
case study design will be used.
– Or This study will be conducted with a fixed design using quantitative methods specifically, a causalcomparative design will be used.
When deciding on a methodology, pay attention to the words used in the research questions.
Qualitative research questions are those that seek to understand or explain while quantitative
research questions seek to relate or measure. The goal here is to ensure that there is alignment from
the problem statement to the research questions to the methodology. You will be required to
substantiate your choice of methodology with multiple citations. The bar is high to substantiate
Phenomenology or Ethnography.

DBA Research Concept Guide
Research Framework
The researcher should think of the research framework as the ‘word picture’ for the specific
problem statement. Once a person reads the framework and examines the diagram it should be
very clear what the conditions surrounding the problem are as well as how the study is connected
to the literature. Not all studies will have both concepts and theories, and flexible designs such as
a case study will typically rely more on concepts than theories.
Diagram – The research framework diagram should allow the reader to ‘see’ the problem and its
outcomes. The diagram should show 1) the inputs (constructs or variables) and how they relate to
the actors, 2) how action/information/influence flows between the actors, 3) how the actors are
influenced by concepts and theories, and 4) how the outputs (constructs or variables) are
determined. Additional research on Conceptual Frameworks and Theoretical Frameworks will
provide a better understanding of this important part of the research project.
Concepts – These are commonly held views that are not as formally defined as theories that can
be found in the literature that are central to your research problem. The researcher should be able
to provide a short ‘descriptor’ for the concept. An example descriptor could be Higher Job
Satisfaction Leads to Higher Productivity. Follow the descriptor with a discussion of the concept
and how it relates to the problem supported by citations. Flexible studies will typically have
concepts.
Theories – These are formal theories that can be found in the literature that are central to the
research problem. They will have a researcher or researchers connected with them. Examples
include Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Transformational Leadership Theory, Servant Leadership,
etc. The researcher should be able to provide the formal name of the theory, and then a discussion
of the theory and how it relates to the problem supported by citations. Flexible studies will not
always have a theory or theories associated with them. Theories are developed as our
understanding of a problem matures and often flexible studies will be looking at relatively new
research problems.
Actors – These are the key people groups such as leaders, followers, or customers central to the
research problem, as well as the organizations such as the specific business, government entity, or
school that are central to the research problem. The researcher should be able to provide a short
‘descriptor’ for the actor followed by a description and a discussion of how it relates to the
problem. An example descriptor could be Executive Leaders, Project Team Members, or even
ABC University. Follow the descriptor with a discussion of the actor supported by citations.
Constructs & Variables – These are the constructs and independent, mitigating, and dependent
variables found in the research study. Constructs are the broad concepts or topics in a study while
variables are measurable and vary. Independent variables can be thought of as inputs such as
leadership style, level of intrinsic motivation, or even revenue from product sales. Mitigating
variables can be used to group and could include things like gender, age, employment status.
Finally, dependent variables can be thought of as outputs such as job satisfaction, extrinsic
motivation, or productivity. The researcher should be able to provide a short ‘descriptor’ for the
construct or variable followed by a description and a discussion of how it relates to the problem.
March 10, 2020

Liberty University School of Business
DBA Research Concept Guide
An example descriptor could be Leadership Effectiveness, Leadership Style, or Gross Profit.
Follow the descriptor with a discussion of the construct or variable supported by citations.
Concept Alignment in a Research Project
The reader must be able to visualize a straight line connecting the general problem, the specific
problem, the purpose statement, the research questions, and the nature of the study:
General Problem – Overarching business problem related to the candidate’s cognate with the
existence of the problem supported by current literature (less than five years).
Specific Problem – Narrowly focused market(s) / industry (s) / region(s) / organization(s) being
studied to provide insight into the general problem.
Purpose Statement – To study the specific problem, thereby giving insight into the general
problem. In a flexible design, the goal is generally to explore or to understand. In a fixed design,
the goal is generally to measure, compare, or relate.
Research Questions – The broad questions that need to be answered to provide meaningful insight
into the specific problem. These are not interview questions, they are questions that guide the
overall study. In a flexible design, these questions will seek to explain or understand and will
typically include words such as how, why, and what. In a fixed design, these questions will
generally seek to describe, measure, compare or relate variables.
Nature of the Study – The nature of the study describes the researcher’s paradigm, the research
design, and the research method. The researcher will need to be able to describe why the chosen
design and method are the best choice for the research being conducted.
Alignment exists when:
The specific problem is a subset of the general problem
The purpose statement describes a research goal that addresses the specific problem
The research questions address the specific problem and its consequences
The nature of the study identifies a design and method that is consistent with the action
word choices in the purpose statement and the word choices in the research questions
Where to Study & Sample Size
Selecting where to conduct your research study and how many participants will be guided by
several factors:
Fixed Design Dissertations – to provide for statistically significant results that can be generalized
to the overall population, you will need to use a sample size calculator (not gPower which is a
great post hoc test) to determine the right number. For large populations (over 5000) this is going
to be around 380 for each group within the sample based upon a Confidence Level (CL) of 95%
March 10, 2020
Page 8 of 22
Liberty University School of Business
DBA Research Concept Guide
and a Confidence Interval (CI) of 5%. How you define the population determines what you would
like to be able to generalize your results to, which in turn determines the sample size.
Flexible Design Dissertations – The goal here is to reach saturation which is the point at which
you are no longer gaining new information from participants. While various authors will provide
varying ranges for this, the common ground is that saturation will be reached within 25 to 30
interviews for a group.
Consulting Project or Case Study Project – Since the results are not intended to generalize (relate)
to the entire population, a single organization can be used. However, the size of the organization
will need to allow the researcher to interview between fifteen and thirty participants.
Note for Consulting Project or Case Study Project: The researcher may contact an organization
to gauge their interest in being part of your proposed study once the problem and research questions
have been approved. See Task 2.
