7 Resources for Business Students Writing Their Dissertation in 2024

researching and writing a dissertation a guidebook for business students

Published on

researching and writing a dissertation a guidebook for business students

When writing a dissertation, business students must tackle multiple objectives simultaneously. They must thoroughly study their topic while considering its ethical, practical, theoretical, and methodological aspects. Here are seven resources that will be super useful in 2024 to make the process less scary and your dissertation as good as possible.

1. Online Research Databases

Business students should conduct extensive research on online databases. Free services, such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the EBSCO Business Source Premier, provide peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and journals that can supply the scholarly information the dissertation needs to start.

2. Business Analysis Software

They can use the latest data analysis tools. Statistics packages, such as SPSS or Microsoft Excel, as well as other software, can be beneficial in coping with large and complex data sets. You can use these tools for statistical analysis and visualization that make your results more understandable and easier to understand.

3. Professional Writing Services

It’s advisable to seek professional help. There are tools like Grammarly or the Hemingway Editor that can help you hone your writing. You can also hire academic writing professionals to read your work and provide feedback about your work’s structure, style, and coherence. StateofWriting is a reliable service provider where you can buy an assignments online . Expert authors help improve the quality of your dissertation writing and ensure that you meet academic standards.

4. University Libraries

Utilize your school’s resources. Your college is full of intelligent people who want to help. If you need books, industry reports, or access to databases only available to students, your university librarian can help. Using resources like these will help your research and schoolwork stand out and provide you with information or insights that are not readily available.

5. Networking with Industry Professionals

Get in touch with people in your field. Networking can give you access to learning, not in textbooks and journals. Connect with business professionals via LinkedIn or industry conferences, or contact your university’s alumni network. They may be able to provide you with practical advice and perhaps even some real-world data you might use in your dissertation. For more tailored support, consider using writing services with professionals ready to assist you on how to write introduction for dissertation and any aspect of dissertation writing. Their personalized guidance ensures your work showcases your research effectively.

6. Webinars and Online Workshops

Keep informed. Attend webinars or online workshops. Many universities and professional bodies host sessions on business research methods, as well as the writing and analysis of data. These are a great way of learning new methodologies that are useful for your dissertation or learning more about new software that can aid your data analysis. 

7. Citation Management Tools

Organizing your references is essential for a smooth dissertation-writing experience. Citation-management software has several features that can make academic life a lot easier:

  • Time-saving: Automatically generate citations and bibliographies, reducing manual input.
  • Organization : Keep all your research sources neatly organized in one place.
  • Accuracy : Ensure all your citations are consistent and adhere to required academic standards.
  • Collaboration : Share your sources and collaborate with peers or advisors easily.

Not only does Zotero, EndNote, and the like make the struggle of academic writing easier, but it also makes your dissertation more credible and trustworthy. 

Your Toolkit for Success

By the time you’re ready to start your dissertation in 2024, you’ll have seven more tools to help make it better. The dissertation process does not need to be a mystery. You’ve set a course for yourself. You’re determined to write an excellent dissertation. And you now have a suite of tools to help you do it. You’ve got this. Good luck!
