The problem statement
The problem statement defines and presents the issue in order to frame
specific questions. The problem builds on the context established in the
introduction. This means that the introduction outlines and frames the
problem. From here, you develop your rationale for your study and thesis
by explaining the importance of the problem and the need to conduct
research within the established context.
You need to persuade your reader that the problem is both relevant and
important:
› Is the problem of interest to other scholars or practitioners in the field?
› Is it clear who or what will be aided by the research findings
(contribution)?

Developing a problem statement
First draft:
“The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the stakeholders of Arla and account for
the relevance of social network theory”
Comments and questions from the supervisor:
1) What is the problem?
2) Why is this problem relevant?
3) What is the contribution?
4) What is your approach to stakeholder theory and stakeholder analysis? Which
key concept will you draw on? How will you analyse the stakeholders?
5) What is the relation between the stakeholder analysis and the accounting for
the relevance of social network theory?
6) What are the criteria for “relevance”?
7) The project seems unambitious: you “analyse” and “account for” – you need to
relate, discuss, reflect…

Second draft:
“The purpose of this thesis is to map the stakeholders of Arla in order to discuss
the relevance of applying social network theory”
Improvements:
1. A link between stakeholder and social networking theory is (vaguely)
established
2. The analysis is (somewhat) focused (mapping)
3. The thesis includes a “discussion”
Comments and questions from the supervisor:
1) What is the problem?
2) What is the contribution?
3) Why is Arla interesting?
4) How can you qualify the relevance of the link between your theoretical
concepts (stakeholders and social network theory)?

Third draft:
“Taking a point of departure in Arla and its critical stakeholders, the purpose of this
thesis is to map the company’s stakeholders in order to discuss the relevance
applying social network theory”
Improvements:
1. The problem is indirectly addressed (critical stakeholders)
Comments and questions from the supervisor:
1) What is the problem and why is it relevant?
2) How can you qualify the relevance of the link between your theoretical
concepts (stakeholders and social network theory)?
3) Why is this project relevant form a corporate communication or strategic
communication perspective?

Developing a problem statement
Fourth draft:
“Taking a point of departure in Arla as a case of managing critical consumers, this
thesis aims to analyse and discuss social network theory as a strategic tool for
creating dialogue and relations with critical stakeholders
Improvements:
1) Focus is clear (critical stakeholder and stakeholder dialogue)
2) The purpose of the study is clear: developing of a new theory
3) What was previously stated as a purpose is now a presumption or premise: the
stakeholder mapping is not the purpose but part of the initial research which
identifies, qualifues and ligitimize the problem

The problem statement
 The problem statement is not a description of the process or structure,
but points towards the core problem and how it is conceptualized as well
as outlines how to solve/discuss/explore this problem
 This means that when you have formulation the problem statement, you
have already identified the project's key concepts, theories and methods
to understand/explain it as well as potential solutions
 The problem can be accompanied by sub-questions which guide both
you and the reader in a certain (methodological, theoretical or analytical)
direction and which demonstrate the overall argument, logic and
progression in your thesis

What is a thesis?
From a consultant’s report to an academic thesis:
“The purpose of this thesis is to develop a brand and CSR strategy for the
English fashion brand ETC. In order to accomplish this, the project will
focus on three question:
› What characterizes the fashion market and the market for CSR products?
› How can ETC authentically integrate CSR messages in the brand?
› How can the strategy be implemented among ETC employees
What is the problem?
Why is this a problem?
What does the literature tell us about such problem – or is there a gap?

What is a thesis?
The scientific character of your thesis is not just an appendix that you can
copy/paste from a previous paper, e.g.:
“I am a social constructionist because I believe that the world is socially
constructed through social interactions and discourses. Knowledge is also
socially constructed. Knowledge is subjective and thus cannot be generalised.
Consequently, this thesis merely reflects my subjective conclusions”.
To be a social constructionist does not mean that you can disclaim any
scientific position. In order to produce scientific knowledge, you must
continuously reflect on your choices and actions as well as their
consequences:
 What are the consequences of my beliefs and assumptions?
Theoretically? Methodologically? Concepts? Process?

What is a thesis?
› The scientific position positions your research and reflects the underlying
understanding of how the (social) world is approached and how
knowledge is created
› This must be explicitly defined as a starting point for the choice of theory
and method in order to clarify the basis on which the study rests
› There need not be a longer philosophical discussion starting from Adam
and Eve, but the relationship between scientific position, knowledge
production and choices of theory and methods must be clear as well as
the possibilities and limitations of the scientific position
› Scientific reflection, explication of assumptions and consistency in
methodology and research process
Always start with the problem and work from there

What is a thesis
In order to scientifically position your thesis, you can start with this
excercise:
› Identify key concepts of your field of study (e.g. Employees, Identity and
Employer Branding)
› How do you define these concepts, e.g.
› what is the core being of an employee? Is he defined by means of raw man
power or as a strategic ressource? Or maybe as a whole human being or a
moral agent?
› what is identity? Does an employee possess a core identity or is it fluid and
constructed in social settings? Is employee identity a matter of power structures
and suppressions? Or a meaning-making process? etc.
Your definition of and approach to your field of study
guide your choices on how to study it

Your thesis process
Myths and realities
› There is no ”one size fits all”-way of writing your thesis
› It is okay to have off-days – enjoy them and use them to recharge your
thesis batteries
› Writing a thesis can be a lonely process – be aware not to be shut up in
your own ivory tower far away from realities and social relation
› Social relations are crucial; fellow students, thesis writing communities
and supervisor – and don’t leave friends and family behind
› The tough goals of writing a thesis: immersion in the topic vs. deadlines
and project management
› Criteria for success when writing a thesis: Ambitions or self-worth!

Allocation of supervisor
Language and EUS study programmes:
You may suggest a supervisor for your project. But please be aware that
though we try, we are not always able to honor your wish. You’ll find lists
of supervisors and their research areas as well as the form for allocation of
academic supervisor on the study portal.
Communication programmes:
We have given the process of focusing your project and formulating the
problem statement greater priority and developed an alternative form for
allocation of academic supervisor on the study portal.
NB! Supervisors are allocated by the study coordinators, NOT the
individual supervisors: It is NOT a matter of first come, first served and
“who asks the supervisor first, gets the deal sealed”…

What is supervision?
”In this context supervision means to help students to write an assignment
as part of their education. Most supervision is practiced within the
perspective that the supervisor must also evaluate and grade the
assignment. Consequently, supervision includes the possibility of
teaching, controlling and evaluation.”
(translated from: Rienecker & Stray Jørgensen, 2010: 23)
Supervision vs. Control
Guidance/coaching vs. teaching/ordering
Emotions vs. intellect
Good advice vs. Evaluation
As a thesis writer you constantly navigate within these
dilemmas and shifting roles and positions!

What is supervision?
Students often expect the supervisor to be present in all aspects of the
thesis process and to continuously offer guidance, coaching and
supervision. This includes supervision regarding:
›
›
›
›
›
›
›
›
Theories, concepts and models
Research design, scientific method and methodologies
Overall research process, argumentation and approach
Writing process
Proof reading
Personal problems

What is supervision?
Use 10 minutes of your first supervision session to match
your expectations and develop a supervision contract,
including agreements on:
› How many meetings can you expect? What about emails, phone calls
etc.?
› How does supervision take place (face-to-face, Skype, phone…)? When
can you expect email reply from your supervisor?
› Are all meetings planed in advance according to your planed process or
are they planed along the way when you face sudden challenges and
frustrations?
› What are the basic conditions for a supervision sessions (length, roles,
agenda etc.)
› How far in advance are you supposed to send texts? And are texts
always accompanied by a readers guideline and questions for
discussion?
