The time has come for me to get real about doing an online doctorate. I want to do the degree, and studying online seems a good option. However, I have to start to consider what my subject should be. My major occupation is that of an academic leader in the area of IT, so ideally I should choose a subject that is in this area.
However, it's not that easy. In order to gain a doctorate (or at least a PhD) I need to choose an area of research where I can do some original work that has not been researched before, so contributing to the academic body of knowledge. I sort of want to research management rather than IT, so I'm heading towards the project management area. I've started to do research into what has already been published in this area, so at least I've started the process. Watch this space as I progress.
