If you search the Chronicle of Higher Education web site, you'll find some interesting first person narratives--from both advisors and writers--about the dissertation process.  The Chronicle is also a good source for job search information, which I assume you're going to need as well.  Turabian's book has some good advice about the diss writing process.\n\nMy advice to you is to be disciplined.  I know a lot of brilliant people who have bogged down on their dissertation simply because they wouldn't allow it to be less than perfect.  In the end, this is a task you have to finish, preferably on time.  Set up a schedule (one that includes the university's bureaucratic requirements) and stick to it.  Good luck!

Here are sources on how to deal with Definition of Terms\n\nDefinitions And Terminology:\n\n   1. Each technical term used in a dissertation must be defined either by a reference to a previously published definition (for standard terms with their usual meaning) or by a precise, unambiguous definition that appears before the term is used (for a new term or a standard term used in an unusual way).\n\n   2. Each term should be used in one and only one way throughout the dissertation.\n\n   3. The easiest way to avoid a long series of definitions is to include a statement: ``the terminology used throughout this document follows that given in [CITATION].'' Then, only define exceptions.\n\n   4. The introductory chapter can give the intuition (i.e., informal definitions) of terms provided they are defined more precisely later. \n\n\n    1. What is the term to be defined?\n\n    2. Who is the intended audience for the writing? Is this a general audience for which terms must be broken down in laymen's terms or is it a specific/specialized audience that will know technical terms and do not require further definition?\n\n    3. What is the purpose for the intended definition?\n\n    4. What is the sentence definition of this term?(Term, Class, and Distinguishing Characteristics)\n\n              # The Term is the word(s) to be defined.\n              # The Class is the group or category of similar terms in which the term to be defined is to be placed.\n              # The Characteristics are the essential qualities that set the term apart from all other terms of the same class.\n\n5. What other pattern(s) of organization will you employ to complete an extended definition?  See the list below:\n \nExplanation of a Process                Definition (further) Description                             Comparison/Contrast\nClassification                          Cause/Effect\nNarrative (Anecdotal Illustration)

I've attached a few websites that may be helpful, but I think you will have a difficult time finding what you want on line.  A textbook might be a more likely solution.

Here is my suggestion to you.  I would go to your university library and look up Management Engineering. You will find a sample thesis in your library because a masters student has his or her thesis in the library where he or she attended and submitted his or her thesis.

Gee,is this only for new grads?  Oh well,going to answer anyway. I graduated a long time ago. I've accomplished a lot in my lifetime,but am just going back to college now to finish my degree. I felt that something was lacking in my life,and this is it. I need my masters degree to feel complete.

Your final mark may depend on the course which you do - speak to your guidance tutor.\n\nI got lots of average marks, but pulled it off in the end and got a 2:1 overall - I got a 1st for my main subject and a 2:2 for my appaling dissertation. If you can ace at your best subjects and concentrate on those, and scrape through on the not so interesting stuff then you should be ok.

Use Google Scholar (Google it). It's a beta product and you can use it to access academic articles. There should be something there. Also check w/your local library to see what databases they subscribe to. You might be able to access them from your computer.

A colleague of mine took 12 years to finish.  But he did!\n\nI took 4 years, but I already had a full-time position (3/3 courseload) as well.  \n\nHere's some unsolicited advice:   \n\n1) Check out the website below.  It's for an online dissertation support group.\n\n2) Find your passion again.  For example, think about the theories you're arguing against, and remember why it's so important that contradictory work exists.  Remind yourself about the ways your work advances the field.\n\n3) Give yourself some room to CHOOSE.  For example, allow yourself to skip around in writing.  When you get up one morning, say something like "I don't FEEL like dealing with chapter 3 today, I am only going to deal with that interesting section in chapter 2."\n\n4) Give yourself rewards when you accomplish something.  (An ice cream cone, a trip to a museum, whatever you enjoy and feel like you've been deprived of.)\n\n5) Just hang in there. Remember the BIG reward will be completion of the defense, and successful earning of the degree.\n\nHope this helps!

Write about something that interests you.  It's a lot easier to do research on something that you like.  Especially for a thesis that takes so much time to complete.
