A comparison of the efficacy of customer loyalty programmes: The Tesco Clubcard and the Waterstones Card
As respective market leaders within the UK supermarket and high street book buying sectors, Tescos and Waterstones occupy dominant positions. Moreover, both stores operate a customer loyalty card. Grounded in theories of consumer choice and decision making, this dissertation compares and contrasts the loyalty programmes offered by the two firms and through so doing makes recommendations for the on-going success of both. Academic theory is balanced in this essay through the attainment of first hand interviews with customers, staff and loyalty card managers to garner the reader with a full understanding of the role that such cars play in the contemporary high street.

Entrepreneurial management in family-owned businesses: An examination of strategies in Northern India
Family-owned businesses remain a vital part of the commercial environment in Northern India. This dissertation considers how entrepreneurship works in such businesses, which have a strongly traditional background but which continue to develop new management strategies to compete in an increasingly global market-place. The study not only undertakes a comprehensive literature review of entrepreneurship in family-owned businesses in similarly traditionalist cultures, but also provides primary research through the examination of three companies in Northern India. This takes the form of intensive interviews and examination of the progress of new ideas within the firms, from the perspectives of those proposing initiatives, to those expected to approve or implement them.

Stakeholder involvement in the management of charitable institutions employing fewer than 100 staff
The charity sector in the UK is comprised of over 170,000 organisations, of differing sizes. The Coalition Government’s promotion of the ‘Big Society’ encourages increased involvement in charitable institutions. This dissertation considers the effects of widening stakeholder involvement in charities, for example through the placement of representatives from beneficiary groups on management teams, and examines whether this is a force for good. Possible repercussions could include increased polarisation between those ‘who know best’ and those ‘who know how it feels’, the insertion of insufficiently trained and educates management within key positions, and a greater understanding of where the distribution of charitable funds could make the greatest difference. Using a mix of primary and secondary research, the dissertation includes a model of both types of charity management – one with significant stakeholder involvement in management, and one without, and compares the two.

Customer relationship management systems in banking: A comparative case study of Leeds Building Society and Lloyds TSB
Looking at two distinctively different players upon the UK high street this dissertation looks at the regional building society, the Leeds Building Society and the (now state owned) Lloyds TSB banking group which ran into financial troubles after it was itself requested by the government to ‘takeover’ the ailing Halifax group. Using a range of qualitative research tools, street interviews, survey questionnaires and question and answer sessions with a focus group of students, this dissertation evaluates the changing dynamics of customer care and customer management within the UK high street banking sector. In a time when bank branches are once again closing and the use of the internet ever-increasing it offers a number of salient comments as to how to keep customers happy whilst adapting to the changing realities of how we do our banking.

Sibling partnership: Strategies for managing different work patterns harmoniously
Sibling relationships can be difficult to manage within ordinary family structures; the added dynamics of a family-owned business can create intense relationships that are not always harmonious. This dissertation looks at successful sibling partnerships in several industries – an estate agency, a manufacturing company, and a nursing home – and determines the factors that build harmony. Secondary research is undertaken in the form of an extensive literature review, and primary research is done in the form of interviews conducted not only with both the siblings in the three partnerships mentioned but amongst employees tasked with following sometimes contradictory orders from siblings.

Do you feel strongly about how people are managed within organisations? You may want to consider the topic of Human Resource Management for your dissertation. Below are some examples:
Harnessing the entrepreneur in middle management – a story of employee retention
The retention of middle managers is an on-going dilemma within business. This dissertation looks at the phenomenon with regard to two independent department stores: Jarrolds of Norwich and Fenwicks of Newcastle. Using HR theories as well as those of business and management in general this dissertation looks at the dilemmas faced within medium sized firms at retaining middle management and how there is a difficulty in giving them sufficient room to grow in their existing jobs without making them ‘too attractive’ to rival firms who wish to head-hunt. A dissertation that combines primary and secondary research, it gives a unique insight into life within not only two of the country’s most beloved regional department stores but also provides a number of recommendations that could be applied to the sector as a whole across the country.
Suggested initial topic reading:
Promotion or flattery – the use of titles as rewards in a time of fiscal restraint
Working upon the hypothesis that wages are not enough, this dissertation investigates the growing trend of title-inflation within the world of work. Given the wide potential focus of this dissertation it has been decided to narrow the sectoral investigation of this dissertation to three supermarkets in the UK. In so doing qualitative and quantitative research is used not only to provide a framework of transferrable titles but also so as to provide a base-line definition of what job titles means across competing chains. Thereafter interviews with staff, HR and the shopping public results in perceptions of value being attached to the titles given.

The way individuals and groups of people behave within a work environment may be something that you would want to consider as a topic. Here are some examples:
Organisational behaviour in mining management in South Africa: 2000-2010
Mining companies continue to be a strategic component of the South African economy, yet little has been written about their management practices, particularly since the fall of apartheid. This study seeks to determine optimal management practices in the industry, with a particular emphasis on successful organisational behaviour systems. In conducting a literature review that chiefly focuses on the achievements in other countries, this thesis seeks to apply the lessons learnt elsewhere to management structures in South Africa. Further, it monitors the imposition of new and different practices in one mining company listed on the Junior Mining and Exploration Index, and charts the relative success of the measures introduced.

If you have interest in the running of specific sport organisations or events, or perhaps the or perhaps management within hotels and restaurants then the topic of Leisure and Hospitality Management might be a good match for you. Here are some examples:
Models of management change in the ‘bed and breakfast’ hospitality sector in the UK
The ‘bed and breakfast’ sector in the UK is divergent. In terms of geography, the market in busy seaside towns is very different to that of the rural farmhouse. In a similar manner, the difference between those ‘B&Bs’ that see themselves as part of the boutique hotel sector is very different to those that are literally an extension of family life in the guise of two spare rooms offering bed and board. Using a mixed method research approach this dissertation looks at six bed and breakfasts; two in Brighton, two in Keswick, and two in Uttoxeter. Through this choice of venue not only are divergent markets noted but also the different echelons of the hotels themselves. This is a dissertation that through its recommendations has the potential to be of use to all small time hoteliers within the UK as well as offering a snapshot of bed and breakfast Britain in the summer of the Queen’s Jubilee.

Facilitating online sports betting among the over-50 age group: A reaction to the continuing viability of small betting shops
The vitality and viability of high street shops and pubs in the UK is a topic currently attracting a considerable degree of interest. As traditional forms of entertainment – such as going to the pub, or placing bets at a betting shop – decline, the gambling industry must extend diversification to all sectors of its market. To date, online sports betting has not made significant inroads to the over-50 male market, in part because of low rates of internet usage in this sector. This dissertation explores the ways that agencies can expand online betting, including the increased use of online betting within high street shops to encourage new habits, in this target age group.

Management within the educational sector is good topic to go for if you have an interest in how different schools are run and managed. Here are some examples.
The head teacher who has not taught for a decade: Maintaining empathy and approachability in secondary school senior management
At the centre of senior management within schools there lies a paradox – the more experienced one becomes and the higher into management one progresses, the less one teaches (the reason for the appointment in the first place). This dissertation looks at two secondary schools: one in Sunderland, the other in Stoke on Trent. In so doing it notes how, over the last twenty years the job of headmaster has changed from being one of small-time CEO, supplemented and supported by not one but three deputy heads and in which life is spent anywhere but ‘at the chalk face’. Through its use of qualitative and quantitative research this dissertation asks the extent to which it is now more appropriate to consider the appointment of ‘school managers’ rather than head teachers and what the likely effect of such a move would have within a profession that is, historically, resistant to change within its working practices.

Are you interested in the practices that are incorporated by organisations in order to meet their goals and objectives? Then the topic of Performance Management will be perfect for you. Here are some examples:
Managing creative deviance without compromising respect for authority
Innovation by employees other than in senior management can create problems by demonstrating a loss of leadership authority; conversely, the failure to adopt advantageous initiatives can be detrimental to the firm. This dissertation considers ways to manage creative deviance constructively without the loss of authority. Utilising current literature, the study explores reactions to punishment of creative deviance, middle management reaction and over-reaction towards employees in such incidents, and successful examples of permitted deviance in a variety of case studies. Further, it considers corporate environments where such creative deviance is tolerated or positioned within the corporate structure, such as technology firms.

An examination of the management of signal failures in the London Underground during the 2012 Olympics
The 2012 Olympics in London will present a significant challenge for the London Underground, as approximately four million visitors are expected over a two week period. Transport for London has released a variety of plans for the management of visitors during the Olympics, but considerable community scepticism remains as to the likely success of those plans. This has been bolstered by incidents such as that on Wednesday, 23rd May 2012, when more than 770 passengers were forced to walk through tunnels after problems on the Jubilee Line (each receiving £40 compensation). This dissertation will track the progress of the Underground transport system through news reports during the Olympics, and will evaluate the success of the management plan, comparing it against the success of transport systems for previous Olympic Games in Beijing and Athens.

Stochastic modelling in fleet management in the container shipping industry
The capital outlay for vessels as well as shipping containers requires that both maximise usage to optimise profit. This dissertation examines how fleet managers can undertake stochastic modelling programmes in order to understand better how to direct fleet resources, including minimising time in port incurring fees. Using logistics simulations, the study evaluates differing levels of uncertainty, the value of maintaining environmental concerns within such modelling, and whether route sharing is indeed viable in a highly competitive market. Finally, the paper offers a variety of strategies which fleet managers can adopt, and makes recommendations pertinent to different global sectors.

Abdel-Kader and Wadongo (2011:1) state that ‘performance management practices in [NGOs] lag behind’ such practices in other sectors: A critical review of performance management in NGOs in India
Conventionally, ‘non-governmental organisations’ (NGOs) are not-for-profit organisations which do not receive the same level of oversight as government authorities. It was estimated that in 2009 India was estimated to have 3.3 million NGOs operating, with varying degrees of monitoring and control. As numerous NGOs receive public funding, whether from charitable institutions, governments or international bodies, the integrity of the financial management is crucial. This dissertation addresses the common deficiencies in NGO management, using models from the UK NGO sector as well as that of Kenya as comparative measures for NGOs elsewhere in the world, with particular emphasis on the reduction of overhead in order to deliver maximum humanitarian aid, as is intended by those which fund such institutions.
