2. MSc PROGRAMS DISSERTATION GUIDELINES
2.1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
The MSc dissertation is a substantial piece of research. The maximum length of the
dissertation should be 22,000 words. The objectives of the dissertation are to:
 enable students to apply the knowledge and experience gained in the taught
component of their MSc Programme to a topic or dissertation within their
subject area.
 provide awareness and understanding of different approaches to management
research and experience of dealing with practical issues in conducting a
major research dissertation
According to University requirements, the dissertation must “constitute an ordered
critical exposition of knowledge in an approved field; affording evidence of reasoning
power and knowledge of relevant literature”.
The process of completing the dissertation is essentially student orientated and it
should provide a degree of independence in learning such that students set their own
agendas and objectives and acquire useful skills as well as enhancing their knowledge
of the subject material. A learning objective is associated with managing the
7
research process as well as the finished product. Poor time management or project
planning skills; a failure to comprehend what can reasonably be achieved in the time
available or inability to deal with normal or routine data collection issues, will result
in reduced grades. Moreover, evidence of these will cause any subsequent application
for extenuating circumstances or an extension to be rejected.
As a result of undertaking the dissertation students should be able to:

Prepare a well thought out research proposal taking into account the constraints of
time and resources

Design a research methodology taking into account the nature of the topic under
investigation and relevant literature

Conduct empirical research in the field with either companies, organisations or
individual consumers

Analyse quantitative and/or qualitative data and make decisions about its
usefulness and accuracy as well as assessing the implications of the findings for
the particular theoretical domain of the dissertation topic

Manage and own the research process recognising that the proposed research must
be achievable in the time available.
2.2. EMPIRICAL RESEARCH
Whilst it may be desirable to conduct empirical research (i.e. primary research data)
for your dissertation it may be that secondary research is more appropriate for your
chosen research area. The discussion as to whether empirical research is appropriate
and what form this might take should form part of your initial meetings with your
supervisor.
If empirical research is appropriate, primary data collection may be in the form of:
i)
interviews with key informants in an organisation
8
ii)
focus groups
iii)
interviews with executives/employees from several organisations
iv)
participant observation in a particular company or organisation
v)
a questionnaire survey of relevant people either within one organisation or
several organisations
vi)
a questionnaire survey of consumers/individual householders
If secondary research is thought more appropriate this would include an analysis of
relevant archival data and the methodology used may include the collection of both
qualitative and quantitative data.
2.3. WORKING WITH THE SUPERVISOR
Regular contact with the supervisor throughout the dissertation is essential. It is the
student’s responsibility to establish and maintain regular contact with his/her
supervisor and to report progress with the dissertation. The School will not make any
allowance for those students who fail to keep in regular contact with their supervisor
or who fail to meet agreed deadlines for sending work to Supervisors.
The role of the supervisor is analogous to a sports coach: whilst the dissertation is the
student’s own work, the supervisor can coach and offer advice in order to try to
improve the student’s performance; they can advise on the process and monitor a
student’s progress. It is therefore in the students’ own interests to work closely with
supervisors at all stages of the dissertation, from design through to writing the report.
Remember to allow sufficient time at the end of the process to revise drafts in the
light of the supervisor's comments. This is particularly important in the August
period when most staff go on vacation.
9
Given the role of the supervisor as sports coach your allocated supervisor does not
necessarily need to be an expert in the subject area you will be researching. If you
require subject specific advice with the support of your supervisor you can approach a
member of the relevant subject group at the School. Research interests of permanent
staff can be found via the School of Management website. Select ‘Research’ and the
relevant subject area. For individual contact details select ‘People’, and then select
‘Academic staff- alphabetical’. If you experience any difficulty in obtaining subject
specific help please contact your Director of Study or Course Tutor.
Both Supervisors and students work in different ways and students and staff may
therefore find it useful to clarify expectations at the start of the process. Furthermore
supervisors may need to be absent from the School of Management at times for work
or holiday reasons therefore meeting dates should be planned well in advance.
A Student Learning Agreement (Appendix D), must be completed with your
supervisor at the onset of your dissertation and a signed copy be retained by each.
The original should then be returned to the Graduate Programmes Office.
Supervisors are not allowed to give students an indication of the mark the dissertation
is likely to receive and attempts to unduly influence the supervisor in this area may
result in disciplinary action.
It is not possible for supervisors to say that the
dissertation will be given a pass, merit or distinction as any comment (whether spoken
or written) would merely be their opinion and cannot be taken as a guarantee of the
outcome of the entire marking process. The grade that they feel the dissertation is
worth may be changed as a result of second marking, or following review by a third
marker.
2.4. THE RESEARCH PROCESS AND CONDUCTING THE
FIELDWORK
10
It is important that students follow a systematic research process. For example,
having decided on the research topic, the main stages of the research process are as
follows:
i)
LITERATURE REVIEW:
This can be quite a lengthy task and students should begin working on it as
soon as your supervisor is allocated. Conducting the literature review is an
important part of the research process and one that should be done quite early
on. It is essential to know what work has been done previously in the topic
area and also to aid the development of the theoretical/conceptual framework
for the study.
Based on the literature review students should develop a
framework or model which incorporates the particular issues or concepts to be
investigated and defines the boundaries of the study.
ii)
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Having completed the literature review and development of the research
framework/model, the next stage is to develop the research methodology. The
design of research instruments, if appropriate, obtaining samples, arranging
interviews etc are all important tasks which require a considerable amount of
time and attention to detail.
Students may not undertake the fieldwork stage (i.e. interviews,
administering surveys etc) until all the preliminary tasks (i.e. stages i) and
ii) have been undertaken very thoroughly and to the satisfaction of the
student’s supervisor.
iii)
FIELDWORK:
This stage involves the actual collection of empirical data where appropriate
e.g. conducting interviews or focus groups or administering a survey. It may
be that some students will wish to go abroad or to other parts of the UK in
11
order to conduct the fieldwork. Students will not be permitted to conduct
fieldwork until they have finished the literature review, and agreed the
research model, methodology and research instrument with their supervisor.
iv)
ANALYSIS AND WRITING UP:
After data collection the final stages involve analysing the data and writing up
the results and conclusions. While it is recognised that return to the School of
Management after fieldwork may not be possible due to travel costs, you are
advised to consider doing your analysis and final writing up at the School of
Management where all University facilities and support are available.
Students who choose to work elsewhere do so at their own risk.
Students are advised to develop a detailed time plan taking into account all of the
above research stages. This should be discussed with the supervisor.
2.5. A PROFESSIONAL APPROACH
Students who undertake their dissertation based on a company whether sourced by the
School or themselves should be aware of the behaviour that is expected and always
portray a positive image of themselves and, by association, the School of
Management.
1. Dress appropriately; find out what the company dress code is, consider your
appearance when meeting customers/suppliers etc.
2. Be punctual; arriving late is not acceptable.
3. Take the lead; it is your responsibility to arrange meetings with your company
data source - plan them in advance and do not miss them without a very good
reason. If you are unable to attend a meeting, it is only polite and professional
to let the company know in advance and not at the last minute.
12
4. Use professional language; ensure any written communication with the
company especially emails are written in full (not text language) and that you
spell and grammar check them.
5. Seek agreement and clarity from the outset; in your initial meetings agree
deliverables/outputs and the time frames; if they change, advise the company
and your supervisor.
6. Please keep the company informed; of your progress.
Be professional; the company may wish to see a copy of your dissertation prior to
submission – they may want to advise if you have made any factual errors etc.
2.6. ETHICAL ISSUES IN POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH
The University of Bradford has a responsibility to ensure that the research it supports
conforms to the law and is carried out in accordance with current best practices. This
applies to all MSc dissertation related research activities involving human
participation and/or human data whether undertaken entirely at the School of
Management or in collaboration with individuals or organisations in the UK or
abroad.
Process
Following the development of the research proposal, a project’s supervisor must
consider whether the proposed use of the data and its method of collection complies
with the principles and standards outlined in the School’s code of practice. See also
Guidance published by the University’s Committee for Ethics in Research (UCER).
http://www.brad.ac.uk/gateway/index.php
13
Where, in the judgement of a project’s supervisor, the proposed use of the data and its
method of collection complies with the School of Management’s code of practice, the
project’s supervisor and the student will sign and date the Ethics CHECKLIST (See
Appendix F) indicating compliance. No further action is required.
Where the proposed use of the data and its method of collection are thought to
infringe the School’s code of practice, the project’s supervisor must sign and date the
CHECKLIST and forward the document with a copy of the proposal (outlining the
data to be collected, the proposed collection method and how the data will be used) to
the UCER. The UCER will advise on whether full ethics approval will be required.
In the event that no alternative data source and collection method exists and full ethics
approval is required, the University’s Ethics Application Form must be completed and
forwarded to the UCER by the project’s supervisor.
Note: it is the responsibility of the project’s supervisor to advise the student on the
possible implications seeking approval from the UCER might have on completion.
On receipt of recommendations from the UCER the project supervisor must ensure
any actions necessary to effect compliance are implemented.
In all cases, a completed copy of the Ethics CHECKLIST and, where appropriate,
recommendations from the UCER must be submitted with the project.
Note, dissertations submitted without a completed CHECKLIST and, where
appropriate, UCER recommendations will be deemed to be in violation of the
University of Bradford’s code of practice and will not be marked until such
time the process has been completed.
14
2.7. DISSERTATION POLICY
Confirmation of University requirements regarding presentation style and binding etc,
are contained in appendix A, “Notes for Guidance on the Preparation and
Submission of the Masters Dissertation”.
Students must submit three spiral bound hard copies, one hard bound copy, and a CD
ROM of the dissertation to be received in the KIBS Office no later than 2 pm on
1 March 2012 Electronic only submissions will not be accepted.
Students sending dissertations from abroad must ensure it is posted in sufficient time
for it to be received in the Graduate Programmes Office by the deadline.
Postal address:
Kozminski International Business School
Kozminski University
57/59 Jagiellonska St..
03-301 Warsaw
Poland
Due to the tight timescales involved in processing dissertation results in time for the
graduation ceremony we are unable to guarantee that dissertations submitted after the
original submission deadline (even with an agreed extension) will be processed in
time to allow a graduation.
Students who are in debt to the University at the point of dissertation submission will
have their projects ‘held back’ from being marked in accordance with University
policy until such time as the debt has been cleared. Dissertations will then be sent for
marking but, as above, we cannot guarantee a December graduation.
15
If a student has 40 or more credits of supplementary assessment to redeem at the end
of their taught programme, the Examination board in June will usually recommend
that the student stops work on the dissertation to enable them to concentrate on
making good their supplementary assessment.
In such cases submission of the
dissertation is deferred until the following March and graduation, if successful, will
take place in July. Students may, if they wish, ignore the Board’s advice in this area
and continue work on their dissertation at the same time as studying for
supplementary assessment. In such cases the student continues at their own risk and
the School will approve neither an extension nor mitigation on the grounds of the
workload being undertaken or the stresses this will cause. Experience has shown that
students who continue in these circumstances are likely to fail some aspect of their
supplementary assessment and as a result fail the MSc overall – we would advise that
a delayed graduation is preferable to no graduation at all.
Students are allowed two attempts to successfully complete the Dissertation. A grade
of C as a minimum is required. The dissertation is the only element of the MSc where
it is not possible to condone a grade of D.
Students should note that if you fail your dissertation at the first attempt, further
supervision is limited to an initial discussion with your supervisor to discuss feedback
from the first and second markers and advise as to what remedial work is required;
any further support is as deemed necessary by the supervisor and will not normally
replicate the supervision enjoyed at first attempt. A further ‘Learning Agreement’
should be completed for re-submission.
This should detail all actions to be
undertaken and should be signed by both the supervisor and student. It is then the
student’s responsibility to ensure the actions are carried out.
Students who miss the deadline and who do not have a previously agreed extension
will be recorded as having failed to submit and will have any dissertation marked as a
supplementary; and therefore final, attempt.
16
The copying and binding of the Dissertation may be done through any print-shop but
the finished dissertation must be received by the KIBS office by the submission
deadline.
Please therefore ensure that you allow sufficient time for this. Check with the print
shop you intend to use for their deadlines and bear in mind that students across the
University will be preparing dissertations around the same time and it may take longer
than usual for printing and binding to be completed.
The University Copy4Student is situated in the building D, atrium, room 3d.
Dissertations for binding can be submitted in person or electronically:
[email protected]. Please see the Guidance at the link below.
www.copystudent.pl
Students choosing to make their own arrangements for copying/binding should hand
three copies of the spiral bound report, hard bound report and a CD Rom in RTF
format to the KIBS office to meet the University deadline. Please ensure the CD Rom
is clearly labelled with your details.
If the dissertation exceeds the maximum length it will be subjected to a grade
deduction dependant on the percentage of words over the maximum length. The
University will retain the spiral bound copy of the dissertation and the CD Rom will
be kept at the library.
2.8. MARKING ARRANGEMENTS
The dissertation will be marked by two members of staff. In the majority of cases the
first marker will be your supervisor and the second marker will be a member of staff
from the appropriate subject group. If this is not the case you will be notified. The
final grade awarded will be the grade agreed by both markers. In the event of an
unresolved disagreement between first and second markers a third marker; usually the
17
Head of the relevant subject group or their nominee, will be employed. The decision
of the third marker is final and non-negotiable.
2.9. DISSERTATION PROPOSAL
The dissertation proposal must be included as Appendix A at the end of the
dissertation.

3. APPENDIX A
UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
NOTES FOR GUIDANCE ON THE PREPARATION AND
SUBMISSION OF THE MASTERS DISSERTATION
3.1. DIVISIONS OF THE DISSERTATION
The Dissertation includes the following materials and sections, in the sequence indicated:

Confidentiality Statement (if any) & Statement of authenticity

Abstract and Keywords

Title Page

Preface

Dedication (if any)

Table of Contents



List of (other types of materials: maps, photographs, etc.)

Body of Text

Appendix or Appendices (if any)

Bibliography
3.1.1. Confidentiality Statement
Sometimes, the nature of a dissertation necessitates the student having access to
sensitive information about a company's business. The company may require the
student to keep such information confidential, and occasionally may ask the student to
sign a formal confidentiality agreement.
If the dissertation report contains confidential information the company may ask the
University to keep the report confidential. Any such request should be sent in
writing by the company to the Programme Manager in the Graduate
Programmes Office. After marking, confidential reports are kept under restricted
access for 2 years instead of being placed in the library. If access needs to be
19
restricted for a longer period application must be made again in writing by the
company at the end of this time.
Similarly, if a student is employed by a company to do research, he/she does on behalf
of the company and this should be declared to other parties. It is not acceptable
practice to use 'MSc student' as a cover to obtain competitor information.
3.1.2. Abstract and Keywords
This page should be headed by your name and the title of the dissertation, followed by
an abstract that must not exceed 250 words, and up to ten keywords (or phrases) which
pin-point the subject matter. The abstract should detail the content and key findings of
the dissertation in such a way that its aim, approach and outcome(s) are clearly
identifiable to the reader.
3.1.3. Title Page
The title page should conform to the appropriate format as specified in Appendix III.
3.1.4. Preface
The preface is used primarily to mention matters of background necessary for an
understanding of the subject that do not logically fit into the text. Items such as the
following may also be mentioned here unless they are more extensively considered in
the body of the dissertation: reason for the selection of the subject and its limitation,
explanation as to how the
dissertation relates to practical matters in the field in which it is written, the nature and
scope of the investigation undertaken, difficulties encountered, etc. It is customary to
include a brief expression of the author's appreciation of help and guidance received in
the research. The preface is not the same as an introduction, which is properly a part
of the main body of the dissertation.
20
3.1.5. Statement of Authenticity and Word Count
Students should include a statement confirming that the dissertation is their own work.
This should be worded as follows: “I certify that this dissertation is all my own work”.
This statement may be included on the same page as the preface, should space allow.
Students should also include a word count on this page. The word count should
exclude bibliographies, diagrams and tables, footnotes, tables of contents and
appendices of data. Please see appendix II.
3.1.6. Dedication
Dissertations do not usually carry a dedication but may do so if the author feels there
is a strong need for one.
3.1.7. Table of Contents
The table of contents contains the headings and subheadings of the chapters and
sections of the dissertation, with the numbers of the pages on which these chapters and
sections begin.
The abstract and title page are not entered in the table of contents and therefore the
first item to be listed is the preface.
The minimum content of the table of contents should be the preface, each chapter or
main division title, each appendix and the bibliography.
All headings should
correspond exactly in wording, arrangement, punctuation, and capitalization with the
headings as they appear in the body of the dissertation.
A main heading or chapter title is given entirely in capitals and begins at the left-hand
margin of the page. A main subhead is indented three spaces from the initial letter of
the heading under which it falls and is typed in upper and lower case. If used, a
subordinate subhead is indented three spaces from the initial letter of the main subhead
under which it falls. Chapters, sections of chapters and subsections, etc, are numbered
21
using Arabic numerals in a decimal sequence. Thus the third subsection of the second
section of chapter three is numbered as Section 3.2.3.
The number of the page on which the division begins in the text of the dissertation is
given in the table of contents in Arabic numerals flush with the right-hand margin of
the page. Double spacing is used except for over-run lines, which are single-spaced.
For an example of the layout see Appendix II.
3.1.8. Lists of Tables, Figures and Other Materials
If the dissertation contains charts, figures, maps, tables, photographs, or other types of
material, each series of these should be listed separately in an appropriate list on the
page or pages immediately following the table of contents. Each such list should
appear on a separate page. In format, such lists should follow the general style of the
table of contents.
The number of the item is given at the left-hand margin of the page under the
appropriate column headings entitled, “Charts”, “Figures”, “Maps”, “Tables”, or
“Photographs”. After an interval of three spaces, the number is followed by the title of
the item, given exactly as it appears in the text of the dissertation. The number of the
page on which the item appears in the body of the dissertation is given flush with the
right-hand margin of the page. Tables, figures, etc. should be numbered according to
their chapter and position in the chapter. Thus Figure 2.10 is the tenth figure in
Chapter Two.
3.1.9. Body of the Text
The dissertation proper begins with the first page of the first chapter or section. Each
chapter or section should represent an important division of the dissertation. Special
care should be given to dividing the text into paragraphs and the use of subheadings to
help the reader. Each new chapter should begin on a new page.
22
The chapters are identified by Arabic numerals and the subsections numbered as
specified in sections 1.5 and 1.6. Each chapter should have a title identifying the
subject contained therein and it should begin on a new page.
3.1.10. Appendices
The principal purpose of an appendix is to keep the text of the dissertation from being
interrupted or cluttered with supplementary, minor and illustrative materials. The text
of pertinent documents, tables that present extensive data, or date of minor or ancillary
importance, the text of legal decisions or laws, very lengthy quotations, excerpts from
diaries, transcripts or minutes, forms of documents, copies of sample questionnaires,
and the like, may be included as appendices if they are pertinent to the subject matter
of the dissertation and they cannot appropriately be incorporated into the body of the
text.
Appendices should appear immediately following the body of the text. Each appendix
should start on a separate page. The appendix pages should continue the regular
pagination of the dissertation. Appendix A should be a copy of the dissertation
proposal as submitted to the supervisor. Other appendices should then follow in the
order that they are referred to in the text of the dissertation. Whenever possible and
appropriate, the source of material in the appendix should be given.
3.1.11. Bibliography
The bibliography should generally contain only the works consulted and found
relevant and thus cited by the author in the management dissertation. The inclusion
of an irrelevant item is as much a defect as the exclusion of a relevant one. Each
item should be a full reference in the standard order specified in the effective
learning services booklet “References and Bibliographies”
http://www.brad.ac.uk/acad/management/external/els/pdf/refandbib.pdf
23
3.2. PREPARATION OF THE DISSERTATION
The candidate is required to submit one spiral bound copy of the dissertation and a CD –Rom.
The University retains these after the degree has been awarded, the CD-Rom being lodged
with the University Library and the bound copy with the Postgraduate Office. Students must
ensure that the pages of their dissertation will not easily become loose.
The dissertation must be produced using a word processor on one side only of A4 paper of
good quality and conform to the guidelines detailed below.
3.2.1. Word Length
The MAXMIUM permitted length is 22,000 words. The limit excludes bibliographies,
diagrams and tables, footnotes, tables of contents and appendices of data. Please
ensure your dissertation does not exceed 22,000 words in length. According to
University regulations, assessed work which exceeds a specified maximum permitted
length will be subject to a penalty deduction of marks equivalent to the percentage of
additional words over the limit. Harsh penalties will be applied to work that is
significantly over-length.
3.2.2. Margins Font and Spacing
Margin widths are as follows: Left at least 4.0cm, right 2cm, and top and bottom
2.5cm. The right-hand margin should be kept as even as possible. Folded tables,
graphs, illustrations, maps, and similar inserts should be within the margins indicated,
otherwise, they run the risk of being cut during the binding and trimming process.
It is required that the body of the dissertation should be one and a half line spaced,
with quotations in single line spacing, indented. 12pt Times New Roman must be used
as the font for all of the text throughout the dissertation. The pages of the dissertation
must be numbered.
24
3.2.3. Binding
The copying and binding of the Management Dissertation can be done by any printer
but the dissertation must be bound using a spiral device (3 spiral bound copies) and
one black hard cover copy with gold letters so pages are secure. The University

ABSTRACT
082345678
DRIVING FORCES AND PROBLEMS FOR INVESTORS IN BULGARIA:
THE CASE OF GREEK ENTERPRISES
Keywords: Greece, Bulgaria, FDI, Driving forces, pull/push factors, problems, location
advantages.
Abstract
The 1990s was the decade during which a large number of Greek firms expanded their
operations to the other Balkan countries. One of the major host countries of these Greek
investments was Bulgaria, which had been under the communist regime since World War II.
After the end of communism, Bulgaria attempted to attract foreign direct investments in order
to contribute to the development of the country. Therefore, a substantial number of foreign
investors is operating nowadays in the country, although their invested capital is very low in
comparison with other CEE countries.
The current research focuses on Greek direct investments in Bulgaria and attempts to
investigate the major driving forces for which Greek firms engage in investments in this
country.
Moreover, the various problems that they face are analysed.
For the
accomplishment of this study, a primary research was made, based primarily on
questionnaires and secondarily on semi-structured interviews.
The main finding of the study is that location advantages of Bulgaria represent the major
motive for Greek firms, while push factors are practically inexistent. In particular, there are
several market and labour forces varying mainly according to sector and, to a lesser degree,
according to firms’ size.
30
As far as problems are concerned, the main conclusion is that low purchasing power is the
most severe problem, but especially in the retailing sector. There are several other problems
also, such as double taxation, corruption and so on. Here, variations are moderate and depend
on size and year of entry.
Finally, given the advantages the problems of Bulgaria as a host country, Greek investors’
stress that they are partially satisfied with their operations and many of them are willing to
expand their existing investments in Bulgaria. However, most of them intend to increase
operations, not only in Bulgaria, but also in the whole of the Balkan Peninsula.
