Attendance of the "Research methods seminar" is mandatory for all master thesis students. I offer the seminar 3 times per year (February, May, September). The next seminar is planned for May 2025 and is thus relevant for all students intending to graduate in the autumn session. Please consult this webpage for information on the exact date of the seminar. In the meantime, all prospective master thesis students are invited to work through the material uploaded on the google drive (books and papers on research methods).

Dear bachelor thesis students

below some very basic information on  the structure of the bachelor thesis. Typically, a bachelor thesis will have 3-4 chapters

1: intro, problem statement, research objectives

2: lit review = critical and systematic summary of the main scientific studies published on the topic of your thesis. Target should be to analyze between 30-50 papers. 

Note: please buikld your articles (keyword search) exclusively from the 5 databases accessible via BEC Banche dati: Sistema Bibliotecario di Ateneo (unive.it)

Business Source, Sciencedirect, Wiley, Springer, SAGE. 

For the literature review, please follow the guidelines in the article below: 

Snyder, H. (2019). Literature review as a research methodology: An overview and guidelines. Journal of Business Research, 104, 333-339 (attached). 

Please produce a flowchart for the literature review, following the following example (attached): Khizar, H. M. U., Iqbal, M. J., Khalid, J., & Adomako, S. (2022). Addressing the conceptualization and measurement challenges of sustainability orientation: A systematic review and research agenda. Journal of Business Research, 142, 718-743. The flowchart is in Figure 2 (page 722)

Do NOT read and cite any other articles (there are too many junk papers published in apparently scientific journals, none of which are indexed in the databases above).

Reading textbooks may be necessary, citing them typically not since you will need to go back to the original article in any event. 

Please focus primarily on the following journals:

For marketing

• Journal of Consumer Psychology
• Journal of Consumer Research

Avviso per la tesi di laurea triennale

di seguito alcune informazioni molto basilari sulla struttura della tesi di laurea. In genere, una tesi di laurea avrà 3-4 capitoli

1: introduzione, formulazione del problema, obiettivi della ricerca

2: lit review = analisi critica e sistematica dei principali studi scientifici pubblicati sull'argomento della tesi. L'obiettivo dovrebbe essere quello di analizzare tra 30-50 articoli scientifici. 

Nota: identificre articoli rilevanti (ricerca per parola chiave) esclusivamente nei 5 database accessibili tramite BEC Banche dati: Sistema Bibliotecario di Ateneo (unive.it)

Business Source, Sciencedirect, Wiley, Springer, SAGE.

Per la review della letterature, seguire le indicazioni nel articolo seguente: 

Snyder, H. (2019). Literature review as a research methodology: An overview and guidelines. Journal of Business Research, 104, 333-339. (pdf allegato)

Prego produrre un flowchart della literature review, seguendo (attached): Khizar, H. M. U., Iqbal, M. J., Khalid, J., & Adomako, S. (2022). Addressing the conceptualization and measurement challenges of sustainability orientation: A systematic review and research agenda. Journal of Business Research, 142, 718-743. Il flowchart è la Figura 2 (pag 722)

NON leggere e citare altri articoli (ci sono troppi junk paper pubblicati su riviste apparentemente scientifiche, nessuno delle quale è indicizzato nei database di cui sopra).

Potrebbe essere necessario leggere libri di testo, ma fonte principale di una tesi sono articoli scentifici in riviste.
