Present the general issue grounded in the research literature that leads to the need for the study.
Clearly describe and document the problem prompting the study. Include appropriate published or relevant primary sources to document the existence of a problem worthy of Ph.D. doctoral-level research. Please consider: what perspective is represented? For example, is the problem an individual-level problem, an organizational problem, an industry problem, or a social problem?
Consider the theories relevant to predict, explain, and understand the problem.
To identify and articulate a problem, consider the potential negative consequences to the field or stakeholders if the proposed research is never conducted.
