Original Instruction: Describe the theory you plan to utilize for your school-approved dissertation research. Discuss how this theory will drive the research concepts/variables, research question(s), and data analysis. Describe a second theory and how its use would alter these methodological considerations.
Needed Improvements
-
Focus on only two theories: Expected Utility Theory (main) and Stewardship Theory (Counter). Remove references to other theories ( e.g. Agency Theory).
-
Develop a focussed application of the two selection theories to clearly describe how they inform research in the specialization and the field, and draw further conclusions related to the approved research topic.
-
Reframe ideas so that theoretical foundations are analyzed and the assumptions are clearly addressed in a clear, comprehensive way
-
Develop a clear focus that links the selected theories to practice. The extensive discussion of varied decision-making elements distracts the reader from the core theories.
-
Decision-making theory and Stewardship are compared but not comprehensively and without a firm conclusion reached at the end of the essay. A cohesive conclusion was not fully presented.
-
Focusing on a primary and secondary theory rather than a collection of theories would help to structure the essay and lead to addressing the missing parts of the question. It appears that Stewardship and Expected Utility theory are the main theories, flow is interrupted by discussion of decision theory and agency theory.
-
Add an elaborate conclusion
-
Avoid redundancy and ensure APA 7th formatting
