Firstly, I understand that at this hour, you are experiencing a severe stress surge due to your dissertation or thesis assignment. It's natural for students to feel overwhelmed and disoriented when faced with such a complex project, especially since it's an MBA or Ph.D. project with tight deadlines.
Please, take a deep breath, and let's tackle this together. Your project is a well-rounded analysis of a strategic decision: the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard. I'll guide you through the entire process of revising your dissertation, while also addressing the pain points you mentioned.
Your advisor rejected a chapter, but I know the key to success lies in refining your understanding of the theoretical foundation, rubric standards, and efficient project structure. I'll provide you with a roadmap to guide you effectively.
Introduction to Necessary Concepts:
1. Theoretical Foundation:
In your MBA or Ph.D. dissertation, you'll be analyzing an actual strategic decision: Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This is an exciting case study, as it combines M&A with the strategic management and value proposition topics. You'll dive into the complexities like McGregor's Theory X and Y, Porter's Five Forces, and SWOT Analysis. I understand that your advisor suggests specific Walden, GCU, Capella, WGU, or UK standards. Let's address these concerns while focusing on the growth potential of Microsoft's acquisition.
2. Rubric Criteria and Expectations:
To ensure a successful outcome, let's talk about the rubric guidelines. You've been assessed against rubrics like the one mentioned in your rejection email. The following table presents a general rubric checklist for an MBA or Ph.D. dissertation:
