Last month Darshi Mody<\/a> and I hosted our 2nd (annual) \u201cDSL ARMs Learning Exchange Conference.\u201d<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The internal conference showcases pilot research projects conducted by Jefferson Strategic Manage\u00adment<\/a> doctoral candidates completing their second-semester of Applied Research Methods. Our doctoral candidates are working professionals and their research aims to illuminate real problems about which they have working knowledge. As you can see from the conference program, the projects cover a diverse range of problems from education to e-commerce to organizational issues.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve asked the presenters to develop their work into articles that we can publish here. As that occurs, I\u2019ll link back to this post. In the meantime, you can at least see program (images below; full pdf here)<\/a> to get a sense of how research can be applied in circumstances like yours. And along with the pictures below, I’ll try to give a sense about how one develops this brand of applied research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
