How to Write an MBA Thesis

Your MBA thesis is a major requirement that must be met in order for you to graduate from most MBA programs. Your thesis should cover a topic of business that you're personally interested in and be somewhat relevant to today's business climate. Once you have chosen a manageable thesis topic that is easy to research and meets all program-specific requirements for your MBA, writing the actual thesis can seem like a formidable task at first; however, once you break it down into steps, it will seem easier to accomplish.

Instructions

    • 1

      Perform the research that will prove your thesis statement. You should use several sources that provide both quantitative and qualitative data, citing each data source throughout the paper as necessary. You can also obtain research from primary research sources by conducting interviews or attending relevant seminars and conferences.

    • 2

      Create an outline that will drive the organization of information in your written thesis document. You should begin with a thesis abstract, which is a four- to five-sentence overview of your thesis that aims to draw the reader in to the rest of the paper.

    • 3

      Write an executive summary, then a research section, and at least two to three sections that focus on the subject of your thesis and construct a compelling argument that validates the thesis abstract and thesis topic.

    • 4

      Complete the paper with a conclusive section, where you perhaps offer a speculative point of view on the future of your thesis topic or your recommended changes, if appropriate.

    • 5

      Create a bibliography of your sources and place it at the very end of your paper, following whichever bibliographic standards your college uses, such as APA or MLA. If you have any appendices you need to add, place them after the bibliography.
