Re: [MTC Global] [Discussion Forum] Career Progression : UP Vs Across

On a Lighter Note....during appraisal time...perhaps Yoga could be useful as you could try " Shirsasana ".....then perhaps the Up-Down or the Breadth-Depth chart could be inclined properly. In current scenario where Management Institutes are going through a phase of holding onto their identity...the career progression of its employees would be the last thing on their mind...whereas for a faculty/employee - holding onto their job is the only thing they would want.

Warm Regards,

Stephen

This is similar to the eternal "breadth or depth" issue in PhD training!

"Breadth" is but depth turned ninety degrees!

"Up-Down" is but "across" turned ninety degrees!

Breadth v depth

... In the US, a doctoral applicant would be laughed out of court if the application came with a thesis proposal. How, it would be asked, can one specify a topic without knowing the discipline? PhD students in the US begin their doctoral studies taking years of specific postgraduate courses intended to acquaint them with their discipline.

How different in the UK. One applies for a PhD with a proposal, and the thesis is all that one does, although there may be optional courses on research methods.

The result, I think, is a trade-off. American PhD candidates know far better the scope of their disciplines, which is scarcely to say that they are experts. British doctoral theses can be more creative and individual. The topic is what one really wants to investigate.
