The following resources are provided to help facilitate a "fast path" option for dissertation completion. These will continue to evolve, so check back from time to time.

Qualitative

• Structured Literature Review (SLR) - An in-depth review and synthesis of the available scholarly literature specific to the research problem. The goal is not to fill a gap in the literature (since it consists only of a literature review), but rather, to bring to light and enhance prior research that can be applied to help management and organizations to address a real/tangible problem. Here are a couple links for further review (more will be added):
