Скачать или смотреть Episode 2 Identifying Research Problems in OM

Welcome to Episode 2 of The Operations Research Lab with Dr Bakama.

In this episode, we address one of the biggest challenges postgraduate students face:

👉 How do you identify a strong research problem in Operations Management?

Many students choose broad topics or describe operational challenges without transforming them into researchable problems. In this video, I explain the critical difference between:

A general topic
An operational challenge
A structured research problem

Using practical examples from:
Lean implementation in construction
Service quality in contact centres

You will learn how to move from a real-world operational issue to a clear, measurable, academically justified research problem.

This episode is particularly useful for PGDip, MBA, Master’s, and PhD students preparing research proposals or dissertations in Operations Management.

📌 In Episode 3, we will convert a strong research problem into a powerful research title.
