Lecture
1. Regulative cycle vs reflective cycle




❖ Just completing a regulative cycle does not deliver you a degree


2. Theory is central to your research
❖ Primary objective of your research project must be to contribute to theory, or
theoretical understanding
• You need to address a WHY or HOW question on a RELEVANT problem
❖ Secondary objective of your research project may be to contribute to finding a solution
to a problem at your sponsoring company
• If you develop understanding of a problem, it is a very likely basis for finding a
solution in a specific case
❖ There is lots of existing knowledge, captured in theories and reported in the academic
literature

, • You must know and understand this existing knowledge before developing your
research design

theories.

solutions/ theories
