Abstract

This academic paper investigates one problem universities offering MBA programs encounter with students who choose Plan B (thesis option) as they often delay completing their thesis. Its purpose is to identify the nature of the problem and its impacts on the several parties involved and propose an educational management solution. The delay in students completing their MBA theses has been found to cause difficulties for the students, their advisers and for the Graduate Schools of Business. Managerial approaches for each party to minimize if not mitigate the problem caused by late completion of the thesis are proposed, including a proposed eight-step solutions. A subsequent paper will investigate this problem more deeply from a research perspective.
