About Theses and Dissertations

What are theses and dissertations?

A dissertation or thesis is a document submitted in support of candidature for a degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings.  (International Standard ISO 7144: Documentation — Presentation of theses and similar documents ). These can be excellent sources for extensive literature reviews and detailed methodologies.

For most universities in the U.S., dissertation is the term for the required submission for the PhD, and thesis refers only to the master's degree requirement.

Other Universities

T he best source to find theses is ProQuest Dissertations & Thesis.   Policies regarding theses and dissertation collections largely vary between universities.  So check the library website of the university of interest.

Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon theses are now ONLINE and can be searched through the ProQuest database Dissertations & Theses @ Carnegie Mellon University that enables access to citations and abstracts of all dissertations and theses, as well as the fulltext in PDF format.  Scroll down and select Dissertations & Theses, then do a regular search. Print versions are also available in the libraries collection.

Within the libraries, theses are located in designated areas and are shelved in alphabetical order by the author's last name.  The catalog treats theses and dissertations like books and they can be borrowed as such.  Theses may be in print, microfiche, or microform.

• In the library catalog, use the Advanced Search :  search by author, title, or keyword limiting Material Type to Dissertations.
• For a complete list of theses at Carnegie Mellon, use Advanced Search to search Carnegie Mellon University Dissertations in the Subject line.

Response Rates in Empirical Organizational IS Research – Conducting a Meta-Analysis of Success Factors of Survey Design

Achieving high response rates in survey-based empirical studies is a challenging endeavor. Managers have little time and receive more questionnaires, which reduces their willingness to participate in surveys. In turn, for researchers, it is mission-critical to design survey processes in a way that the study attracts participation of as many managers as possible.

Aim of this master’s thesis is to review existing empirical studies in the Information Systems discipline which did survey-based studies at the organizational level (e.g., outsourcing management, IT business value, IT change & transformation, organizational adoption of IT/IS). A meta-analysis shall compare the studies with regard to their design (which companies, which manager roles, which “incentives”, which countries etc.) and try to identify factors that lead to higher vs. lower response rates.

An example for a comparable study of another research discipline can be found in (Hiebl/Richter 2018).

Method: literature review, meta-analysis

Language of master’s thesis: English

Topic for a Master Thesis in Information Management

The following topic is offered at the Department of Applied Informatics:

“Analysis and design of an information and communication platform based on Confluence”

Web-based tools for information collection, information exchange and communication are nowadays common in many organisations. Typical examples are knowledge management systems, corporate wikis, discussion forums or file exchange systems.

Smaller companies are, however, often confronted with the problem that commercial solutions offer too much functionality for the planned use; at the same time, these system can only be adapted to the organisational requirements with some effort.

In the context of the master thesis the software system “Confluence” by the company Atlassian will be examined regarding its usability and applicability for a start-up company in the area of political and economic strategy development and communication. The expected result of the master thesis is a study of possible applications, limitations and alternatives to the mentioned software solution.

The topic is suitable for students of Information Management. Alternatively, the topic can also be worked on in the frame of  a “Praxis” (Section 6.1 of the curriculum).

This dissertation examines several key aspects regarding health insurance policies in the United States. The development of the United States health insurance market began in the 1920s with life insurance companies selling traditional indemnity health insurance plans and hospitals offering hospital care plans on a pre-paid basis. This market has evolved over the last century into a heavily regulated market dominated by employer-sponsored, managed-care plans. Reviews in the introduction of this dissertation include the overall market, health insurer evolution, the history of managed care operations, the progression of employer-sponsored health insurance plans and regulation specific to health insurance. Analysis of health insurance market evolution can offer a better understanding of how past developments in U.S. health care can inform and shape future policy.

The second chapter of this dissertation provides an analysis of adverse selection in the U.S. health insurance market. Adverse selection is a phenomenon inherent in insurance contracting. Using a rich, unique dataset consisting of multiple insurers, across states for the years 2013–2015, I document a correlation between coverage and risk. Results show that adverse selection is present both in the individual and group markets. Additionally, I test for the presence of adverse selection by state and by insurer. I find that factors such as the health of the state population, regulatory environment, insurer competition and insurer size are not associated with the likelihood that a state or and insurer experiences the presence of adverse selection.

The third chapter of this dissertation relates adverse selection and consumer satisfaction in health insurance plans. I exploit a dataset rich with respondent demographics and health insurance plan information to evaluate the relationship between adverse selection and health insurance plan satisfaction. I find that respondents who are more likely to have adversely selected into the health insurance plan are more satisfied with their plan. This is evidence that respondents may use private information on their risk level to choose plans to their advantage.

The dynamics and progress of the integration of the electronic health record (EHR) into health-care disciplines have been described and examined using theories related to technology adoption. Previous studies have examined health-care clinician resistance to the EHR in primary care, hospital, and urgent care medical settings, but few studies have been completed that pertain specifically to behavioral health-care clinicians. The study purpose was to examine the relationships that may exist between behavioral health-care clinician perceptions of usefulness and ease of use and demographic variables on adoption of the EHR. Regression analyses were performed to test the relationship between behavioral health-care clinician personal characteristics, their perceived ease of use and usefulness of EHR, and their attitudes toward adoption of the EHR. The study utilized licensed marriage and family therapists as participants. The Physician’s Survey Questionnaire Form was adapted to the needs of this study and utilized as the survey instrument. The study was embedded within the frame of Roger’s diffusion of innovations theory and the technology acceptance model. The findings of the study suggest that older clinicians are less likely to perceive the EHR as useful in their professional practice. The results also demonstrate that behavioral health clinician perceived ease of use and usefulness of EHR is positively associated with attitude toward adoption of the EHR. The findings indicate that to improve the adoption of the EHR for behavioral health clinicians, the EHR needs to be viewed as useful. Interpretation of the results and suggestions for future research are offered.

A major initiative in the U.S. healthcare care industry is to establish a nationwide health information network securing the sharing of information between all involved U.S. healthcare stakeholders. However, implementing an interoperability solution is a massive, complex, and enduring effort with significant challenges such as inconsistent technology and data standards, as well as complex privacy and security issues. The purpose of this qualitative, case study is to examine the impacts of interoperability initiatives involving the U.S. government and to provide an understanding of the information governance and security risk as standards that are vendor-neutral and trustworthy. This qualitative case study was conducted using federal participants who are health information management (HIM) and health information technology (HIT) professionals working in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The participants' interview data revealed nine major themes; patient identification matching, payment claims and auditing, information sharing, data stewardship, regulatory compliance, technology enhancements, training and certification, standards optimization, and value-based care. The implication of the study's themes showed interoperability is beneficial to the healthcare industry, but there is a greater need for technology and data standardization, information governance, data stewardship, and a greater understanding of federal and state data privacy and security laws. Future recommendation for practices discussed; policy and regulatory adjustments to enhance auditing and compliance, establish a healthcare data ecosystem to improve data and information governance, and technology alternatives such as master data management and white space data. Recommendation for further research included expanding the sample population to compare other federal organizations or the United Kingdom's HIT interoperability project initiative.

Johnson, Kerry Allen. "Exploration of the Canadian Health Information Management Association's capacity to provide training and development." Thesis, University of Phoenix, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3577290.

The infusion of information and communication technology (ICT) as the electronic health record (EHR) requires a significant increase in the knowledge and skills of the current Canadian health information management (HIM) workforce (Prism Economics and Analysis [Prism], 2009). However, there exists a shortfall in the capacity of the Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) to provide the required training and development to the organization’s membership (Prism, 2009). This study is an exploratory qualitative case study to examine the reasons for the CHIMA’s capacity shortfall and whether or not the use of a virtual community of practice (vCoP) might be effective to address the need. Three one-hour teleconference interviews were conducted with the CHIMA leadership. Data were analyzed using the work of Senge (1990a), Rogers (2003), and Wenger (1998) as a theoretical lens, which implies that leadership has a responsibility to provide a strategy and communication channels for organizational learning and development. The study findings provide implications for the CHIMA, its membership, and related educational stakeholder organizations to make firm determinations of their role in continuing professional education (CPE) for Canadian HIM professionals. The study is significant in its contribution to understanding the CPE challenges and opportunities resultant from the EHR implementation. Future research areas include (a) engagement of the CHIMA membership in the association, (b) awareness of Canadian HIM professionals of the changing profession (c) visibility of the Canadian HIM profession, and (d) the role of vCoPs in the Canadian HIM setting.

Andrews, Kathy M. "Best practices to establish successful mobile health service in a healthcare setting." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10251009.

Alternative healthcare programs have been steadily flooding the health care market, with the most notable being mobile health. Mobile health, more popularly known as mHealth, is expected to generate upward of $59 billion dollars. This is astonishing, considering the mHealth market is still in its infancy as an alternative healthcare model. Still, there are over 100,000 mHealth smartphone applications and platforms on the market. The concept of offering affordable medical services that are accessible to anyone, at any time and in any place appeals to the mission and purpose of healthcare organizations. However, a large number of the studies and publications on mHealth are associated with the technologies behind mHealth and provide very little information on the practices and challenges associated with implementing mHealth, especially within a medical facility. For this reason, it was important to learn from executive health IT professionals who have successfully implemented mHealth services within the US healthcare system. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to identify the practices used and challenges faced by CIOs in implementing mHealth technologies. The study also obtained recommendations CIOs believe are associated with successful mHealth services.

This was a qualitative study that used a phenomenology lens focused on the viewpoint of CIOs and the growing phenomenon of mHealth as a part of the U.S. healthcare system. This approach allowed the research to obtain data on the lived experiences of seven CIOs through semi-structured interviews who were identified as top experts by Becker Hospital Review publications. The analysis of their experiences revealed 13 best practices for mobile health implementation. The findings in this study aimed to identify how mHealth services could expand access to medical services by outlining key considerations and resources required for successful implementation.

Gray, C. J. "Electronic health record systems in a centralized computing services environment| critical success factors for implementation." Thesis, Robert Morris University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3628910.

In 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law. As part of ARRA, the HITECH Act set aside $29 billion in Medicare and Medicaid incentives for healthcare organizations. To collect these incentives, healthcare organizations must install an electronic health record (EHR) system and achieve meaningful use. Implementation of an EHR must be completed by 2015 in order to acquire any of the incentives available. Small medical practices consisting of one to five physicians are finding it easier to implement a cloud-based EHR system due to minimal upfront costs and no need for technical capabilities within the medical practice. This study was done using a modified Delphi technique developed by Roy Schmidt to find critical success factors for the implementation of electronic health record systems within a centralized computing services structure. For purposes of this study a centralized computing services structure was considered a cloud or cloud-based environment.

This study found that the top five critical success factors for the implementation were the following: (1) EHR Training – implementing a strong training / education process for EHR users; (2) Usability – practical application of EHR features in a real medical office setting; (3) Reliability – Specifically high levels of redundancy and system availability. If the system is down, patient safety is a risk, and that is an unacceptable norm; (4) Strong clinical representation in the project to ensure workflows, processes and education needs are met; (5) Support services such as deployment / implementation services, help desk, and online support. Of these five factors, four are actually related to usability of the system, and not necessarily strictly based on implementation. This leads us to believe that the success of an implementation is reliant upon user perception based on system usage.

Davalos, Eugenia. "Competencies Required for Healthcare Information Technology to Be an Effective Strategic Business Change Partner." Thesis, Benedictine University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3574691.

One of the core strategies to transform the United States national healthcare system is the implementation of key technologies such as the electronic patient medical record. Such key technologies improve patient care and help the organization gain competitive advantage. With a high demand for strategic and operational change, healthcare providers are turning to their own internal Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) for integrated technology solutions (e.g., clinical systems, robotics, infrastructure) in order to reduce costs, improve patient care, and unlock new value through innovation. Due to the overreliance on advanced technology solutions for revamping the US Healthcare System, the role of internal HIT needs to evolve into that of an effective strategic business change partner. As such, the purpose of this study was to test an a priori conceptual model of five competencies that would enable HIT to be an effective strategic business change partner. An on-line survey instrument was used to collect data from hospitals across the country and the data was analyzed through quantitative methods. Results suggest that the perception of internal healthcare information technology (HIT) organizations as an effective strategic business change partner is determined by its competence as a Healthcare Strategists, Change Driver, Collaborator, Agile Leader, and Technology Service Provider.

The Doctorate of Professional Studies in Information Management (DPS-IM) is a 51-credit, part-time degree program for working professionals who are interested in the applied aspects of research in the information field. This 36-month degree program serves mid-career information professionals and prepares them to be a catalyst for positive change within their organizations. This program will be of particular interest to those who consume, create, supervise, or evaluate research as part of larger problem solving or information management.

Our practice-focused curriculum will prepare students for advanced placement opportunities in senior information management positions in the public, private, defense, academic, and non-profit sectors. Whether the goal is enhancing one’s contributions and advancement within an organization, or pursuing a shift in specialization within the information professions, a doctoral degree can open a world of new possibilities for a thriving career in a rapidly changing profession.

Distinctive Features

Limited residency, distance-learning format

The combination of online and brief residency course formats provides flexibility for remote learners while encouraging opportunities for interaction among students and with faculty. Two required one-week residencies per year bring cohorts together, typically in May and September.

Applied focus

The program enriches students’ understanding of the role of information in the economy and teaches how to apply this expertise to enhance the effectiveness of information-based organizations in the public and private sectors. Students add to their breadth and depth of conceptualization, build a solid foundation for advanced levels of information research, and develop competencies, data interpretation and domain-specific problem solving.

Doctoral level research

Because most students will enter with one or more relevant masters’ degrees in hand, the program’s emphasis is on the development of the research that underlies the writing of the thesis. This document is focused on the application of existing scholarly and professional literature to management and leadership in information industries, the military and public sector, or librarianship. A distinctive feature of this program is that the cohort of students pursue common deadlines. For each cohort, the research question and motivation, the review of literature, the method(s) of inquiry, the thesis proposal, and the thesis defense are pursued in a structured thesis-writing class, relying on each other for encouragement and practical support. All theses in the cohort model will likely follow a similar architecture across students’ diverse topics in contrast to the individualized approaches that reflect the iSchool PhD program’s mentor-apprentice model.

Customizable areas of study

Concentrations and fields of research can focus on many of the Information School’s disciplines, including inquiries that connect information studies to business, engineering, communications, or policy studies.

Student Learning Outcomes

Successful students in the DPS-IM program will be able to:

• Develop research questions
• Read and synthesize relevant literature
• Select theories for use in thesis
• Select and apply the appropriate research method(s) to test the theory
• Complete data collection and synthesize data
• Develop skill in scholarly writing
• Application to changing or impacting practice

Curriculum:

The Doctorate of Professional Studies in Information Management is a 51-credit program completed over 36 months.  The curriculum involves coursework in methods and theory, a thesis proposal, and thesis research and writing.

Thesis: 39 credits

Students will devote 39 credits to the thesis, IST 997, the culminating and critical component of the DPS program. Specific semesters cover: topic selection, literature review, methods chapter, data collection/analysis, thesis proposal defense, thesis proposal public presentations, findings/implications chapter, Introduction, and thesis defense.  

• IST 997 - Thesis 1-6 credit(s)

Methods and Theory: 9 Credits

• IST 801 - Introduction to Doctoral Studies 3 credit(s)

Intensive Seminars: 0 credits, required

Students are required to complete IST 880 in-person, five times for zero credits. The seminars take place in semesters 2, 4, 5, 7, & 8.  

• IST 880 - Intensive Seminar 0 credit(s)

Program Sequence

The DPS degree program begins with IST 801, an intensive residential introduction to doctoral study at the beginning of the summer semester, usually in May, for the year in which a student is admitted. During the first residential seminar, students will become more familiar with the program’s coursework, faculty, technology, and each other. This opening residency leads into the summer online course introducing theories of information, IST 790.

Students will return to campus in early fall for their second residential Intensive Seminar and have the opportunity to interact with their course faculty, program staff, and fellow doctoral students. The fall online courses address research methods in IST 776 and quantitative aspects of research in IST 777.

Course work in the Spring semester of year one and going forward will be focused on the sequence of thesis-writing deadlines. Students begin the thesis writing sequence in semester three with thesis topic selection.

The second summer of the program of study begins with the third residential Intensive Seminar, followed by a semester of thesis work that culminates in a draft literature review.

In the fall semester of the second year of study, students will return to campus for their fourth residential Intensive Seminar, continuing their face-to-face interaction with program faculty, staff, and students across cohorts. The residential Intensive Seminar is again followed by thesis work that continues through the Spring semester, at which time students enter doctoral candidacy after successfully defending a thesis proposal.

The third summer semester begins with the fifth residential Intensive Seminar in which the students present their thesis proposals in a public forum. During the final year of the program, students complete their final residential Intensive Seminar in the fall, as well as the remainder of their thesis credits. Theses will be defended in the spring semester, with the objective of having a cohort graduate together in May.

Sample Thesis Paper

As for the opinions discussed so far it is considered it unwise for management to let someone else manage all of their information systems processes. Information management and information systems (whether computerized or not) are indeed the core competence of almost every business in the information age. With the increasing embodiment of information management into software, the control over information systems remains one of the essential managerial functions that an organization should not fully abdicate. However there is still another side to this story that needs to be considered. In the year 2000, the Information Technology industry reached an important milestone. For the first time, more than half (54%) of IT services purchased in North America were…

outsourced. A surprising feature of outsourcing is that its momentum is continuing even after the red-hot economy of the millennium has simmered down. The aim of these transformation efforts is to improve the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of the IT organization, while maintaining, and ultimately improving on, current processes and service levels. Whether it involves designing network infrastructure, setting up a help desk, rolling out a new messaging system, or building an on-line business application, outsourcing allows IT service expenses to grow in a more linear fashion than is possible by building up an all-purpose in-house IT staff.

• Tweet Widget

Michelle Maillet (Academic Associate), Lauren Kay (Clerical), Chantal Marotte (Management), and Moshe Dalva (Technical) have been named recipients of the Faculty of Science Excellence Awards.  

These awards, announced at the Faculty of Science Council meeting on May 21st, recognize the outstanding contributions made by members of the Faculty’s administrative and support staff during the 2023-2024 academic year.  

Read below the citations prepared by the Faculty of Science Excellence Awards Committee. 

Michelle Maillet, Department of Geography, Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Academic Associates  

As Undergraduate Advisor, Michelle Maillet has been responsible since 2014 for guiding students through their programs in the Department of Geography. Her job expanded in 2019 when she became full-time advisor for the Interfaculty program in Sustainability Science and Society. As a steadfast supporter of students’ interests, Michelle consistently goes the extra mile to provide students with outstanding support. One of many examples of this is her organization of extra mid-semester activities centered around arts and crafts that enable students to connect, socialize, and let off steam. She has a university-wide reputation as an exceptionally caring undergraduate advisor, to the point where many students name their interactions with her as their favourite part of being a Geography student.  For all these reasons and many more, I am very happy to present the Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Academic Associates to Michelle Maillet. 

Lauren Kay, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Clerical Staff  

Since 2010, Lauren Kay has served the Department of Physics with great distinction as the Graduate Program Coordinator. This is a huge responsibility, as Physics has about 200 graduate students, many of whom are international, with around 80 new entrants to be selected and around 80 who complete their programs each year. Lauren has made exceptional efforts to ensure that students progress through their thesis work smoothly, from streamlining procedures for paying them to constituting their thesis committees and coordinating their final defenses. She handles changing or exceptional circumstances, such as students having sudden visa problems, with considerable skill and good grace.   For all these reasons and many more, I am very happy to present the Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Clerical staff to Lauren Kay. 

Chantal Marotte, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Management Staff   

Chantal Marotte has been with the Department of Chemistry for 38 years and has been managing the graduate program in Chemistry since 2003. She handles a range of activities, including filling TA positions, assessing graduate applications, and, perhaps most importantly, ensuring the well-being of graduate students with exceptional dedication and skill. At one point, she intervened extensively to find financial support for a student who experienced substantial loss because of a fire in their residence building. How much Chantal has touched the hearts of Chemistry students was made evident by a compilation of video testimonials that students and alumni made in 2021 to thank her for her efforts.  For all these reasons and many more, I am very happy to present the Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Management staff to Chantal Marotte. 

Moshe (Mike) Dalva, Department of Geography, Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Technical Staff   

Moshe (Mike) Dalva has been a Research Technician in the Department of Geography since 2004 and is also an MSc graduate from the same department. He couples exceptional understanding of the theory behind the intricate, complex, and sometimes old, pieces of equipment in Burnside Hall with remarkable technical skill in operating and fixing them. In one instance where an equipment failure appeared to be terminal, Mike was able to diagnose and begin fixing the problem within an hour, potentially saving the student who relied on this equipment many months of delay. He is deeply dedicated to ensuring that researchers conduct their work safely, not just in a laboratory setting but also in remote field locations, where he also provides essential support.   For all these reasons and many more, I am very happy to present the Faculty of Science Excellence Award for Technical staff to Moshe Dalva.
