Where can i find guidelines for MBA dissertation paper?

Question

I need to write a 20,000 word dissertation for my MBA. Where can i get information on how to structure the paper - how many chapters, what goes into the chapters, distribution of the 20,000 words between the chapters, etc? Thanks.

Answer 1

This is a requirement of your particular school, so check with your MBA office on what they are looking for. There is no general guideline for such thing, because each school has different requirements.

Answer 2

There is probably a specified style and format. You need to check the assignment for reference to some standard style (MLA, APA, Turabian, Chicago, etc) or ask the advisor which format to write in.

Once you know which format, get a copy of a style manual for that format. It's very likely that this will need to be in whatever format your research methods class was in.

Clarify all of this BEFORE you start your paper. Good luck.
