“…This is also one reason why the processes progress differently; students do differ quite much on their ability to push themselves to work. However, when the finish line looms, most students want to advance their work at full speed; their work manifests inspiration and sense of expertise (Doncaster & Lester, 2002;Malfroy & Yates, 2003;Murray & Lawrence, 2008;Ryan & Deci, 2000). Some students become overwhelmed by their aspiration to get the work done.…”

This article describes the elements of caring supervision of doctoral theses. The purpose was to describe the best practices as well as challenges of supervision especially from the supervisor's perspective. The analysis is based on the author's extensive experience as a supervisor and related data obtained for research and developmental purposes. Caring supervision is summarized into ten facts that illustrate the multidimensional nature of a supervision relationship. The findings can help supervisors develop in their important work of supervising doctoral theses.

“…There do, however, exist common elements for the two programs. Both ProfDocs and PhDs have an agenda of developing new knowledge that contributes to the development of professions and communities in some form or another (Malfroy & Yates, 2003). Furthermore, to be able to create Mode 2 knowledge requires Mode 1 knowledge albeit not in its pure form.…”

“…First, there is the question of what should be the framework of a doctoral thesis. DBA(IS) students, by doing research with the aim of improving their workplace or their professional practice, provide more contextualised research and therefore place greater emphasis on data rather than PhD students who are allowed more time for developing research frameworks for the collection of data (see Malfroy & Yates, 2003).…”

The Professional Doctorate (ProfDoc) is attracting increasing attention because of its perceived greater than the Doctor of Philosophy's (PhD's) focus on meeting the needs of the knowledge economy. The paper examines the nature of the ProfDoc vis-a-vis the PhD and identifies significant characteristics of the ProfDoc, especially in respect of relevance and performativity. It then analyses these characteristics in the context of the professional Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in Information Systems (IS) at an Australian university. An ethnographic approach is used to examine the internal (university) and external (student) environments of the DBA(IS). Recommendations are made to increase its effectiveness for the knowledge economy, including moving to a greater student and industry centred approach. Finally, conclusions are drawn to determine its relevance to the knowledge economy.

“…First, there is a strong push for universities to legislate postgraduate supervision (Malfroy & Yates, 2003) and to consequently draft and implement policies (i.e., Codes of Practice, Guidelines for Thesis Supervision) in order to institutionalise it. Second, the level of access to rich sources of data is also seen as essential (i.e., online databases).…”

This paper reviews the literature on postgraduate supervision by examining recent issues, approaches and perspectives. It highlights supervision as a professional practice where the supervisor is seen as one who must be a reflective practitioner. It also highlights strong intertwining between this field and the literature on professional practice. Elements of the supervisory process that take into consideration candidate-, supervisor-, and institutionrelated variables are proposed as areas for possible inquiry. Finally, the many areas for research and proposed methodologies are explored.
