Description
|
In the Information and
Decision Sciences Department at the Carlson School of
Management, the dissertation committee holds a formal
defense as soon as the doctoral student has developed a
research proposal. This practice allows the doctoral
students and their proposed dissertation committees to
interact in suggesting improvements, considering risky
approaches, and trimming the scope of the research if
desirable. This formal process has been the single most
important factor in improving quality of research and
encouraging timely completion of the Ph.D.
