                     10 common problems faced while 
researching for PhD /Dissertation / MBA 
Project 
Introduction 
• Researchers require several things and some 
things are difficult to manage and some are 
difficult to arrange .When an individual works 
on several things at same times he needs 
acceptance, approval of several guides and 
supervisor for dissertation.
Introduction 
Lack  of  communication and method is  not 
systematic  
• The method is not systematic: The research method is not 
systematic. Many times research work / dissertation is taken 
forward without the proper knowledge means not having 
knowledge of using research methods. Before starting 
dissertation /research researchers should have completed 
knowledge of the methodological aspects.
• Lack of communication: A university lecturer is a busy person. It is 
very important to have guidance on research. Many times poor 
communication while the progress of research becomes a problem 
It is very important to speak with the supervisor to simplify the 
doubts about the research topic, so you can know what the 
supervisor expects from you and at same time you are able to learn 
about your research topic.

Time  management and deadline 
• Time management: Spending sufficient time in 
understanding and learning the skills and its practical 
implementation takes a lot of time. In such a situation, it 
becomes difficult to create top-notch research papers.
• Not having a definite deadline: Deadlines are hectic. But 
if you don’t have the deadline it becomes difficult during 
the dissertation. Deadlines help you work fast and get 
closer to your goals. Many times universities don’t 
provide any submission date for research which leads to 
confusion and improper management of time by the 
researcher.  
Quantity  of  literature and misuse of data 
• A quantity of literature: it is difficult to handle the 
quantity of literature which one has accessed. The 
literature review should   be in sequence. This process 
involves arranging the literature, managing the data that 
supports your research and at same time managing 
keywords and looking for new sources.
• Misuse of data: Most of the industry establishments are 
of the view that researchers may misuse the data provided 
by them. This  affects the study  of  researchers as the  
data may be  of  very much  importance  for researchers  
which  is  not  provided by the company.
Lack of confidence and focus is either broad 
or narrow 
• Lack of confidence: Don’t  have  confidence or  lack of 
confidence  is  a  big problem  for  researchers as lack of  
confidence  will hamper  the  quality  of  work  by researchers 
and he  will not  be  able  to  produce  quality  work .
• Focus is either still too broad or too narrow: This worry is 
inevitable. Be ready to adjust your research as you look 
throughout the literature. This may require you to either 
increase its focus or narrow down so you can manage the 
research. A wide focus for research may be narrowed down 
by using a suitable context or you can look for another 
variable within the research question.
Library help and proper planning  
• Library help: Library  are very  important  for the  researcher 
 are writing dissertation if  library  are  good enough and 
researcher  can  get lot books  , journals ,etc if the required 
books  are  not  available  or the  library  is  not  managed 
properly lot of time  is  wasted researcher is  not  able  to  
get journal or  books  which  are  helpful  to  researcher.
• Proper planning: Doing research or  writing a dissertation 
involves a lot of planning and at the same time you have  to  
face many problems  but  if  you can overcome these  
problem is it is always  possible  to  create good  research 
work  /dissertation.
