Today I am continuing to work on the three items that give the study focus: (1) the research problem, (2) the purpose of the study, and (3) the research question(s). I am happy with the draft of the first two. The research question is the main issue for today. In order to help me see the flow between between these three items, I will summarize them below.
The research problem
How can leaders and organizations discover meaning in their nihilistic world?
The purpose of the study
The purpose of this hermeneutical phenomenological study is to elaborate and apply a philosophic framework for organizing and leading in the chaotic 21st century context.
The research question
The overarching research question is, “What does it mean to organize and lead in chaotic – even apocalyptic –times?”
When I look at the summaries group together, I'm not so happy with the research problem. It looks like a research question to me. It makes me wonder if in my writing, I have really uncovered and presented a problem or just raised a question that I'm personally interested in answering and called it a problem.
So, my work for today is refine these statements so that it is obvious how the three are interdependent.
