Reflections on the topic selection of graduation thesis

In the process of selecting a topic, besides considering whether it has social value (paying attention to the key points, difficulties and hot spots in real economic life), its own knowledge structure, professional characteristics, the difficulty of data sources, time guarantee and other factors, the determination of a paper topic has its own ideas.

1, the choice of popular and unpopular

The advantages of popular topic selection are: first, information is easy to collect, and there will be more relevant information in various media for a period of time; Second, in real economic life, you have personal feelings about such problems; Third, once written, there is a chance to be adopted by relevant newspapers. Its disadvantage is that there are many students who choose a topic, and the sources of information collected by them are similar. The articles written are patchwork, the content and structure are similar, and it is difficult to have new ideas. It is naturally impossible for a tutor to give good grades when he sees such an article. For example, among the graduation thesis topics of financial management major investigated by the author, there are relatively many topics about "SME financing". It can be seen that students collect information from the internet and magazines, and the cases used in the article are similar. Most of them are plagiarized and have no own language at all. The financing problem of small and medium-sized enterprises is the hottest topic in recent years. There is so much research in this field that it is difficult for you to have your own new point of view. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't choose this kind of topic. If we can redesign the topic from another angle (different from most papers), it may be a good article to discuss this issue in a deeper level on the basis of field investigation and interspersed with convincing cases. The unpopular topic is also relative. For students, that is, they rarely choose or don't choose, and it is difficult to collect information, but they must have academic value and practical application value, not too old-fashioned topics that are divorced from economic life. For example, the topic of a paper I am studying recently is the innovation of enterprise financial management under the economic crisis. "As we all know, under the global economic crisis in 2008, every enterprise tried its best to survive, but there were few related molding materials and articles, which required us to overcome difficulties, conduct field research and raise it to the theoretical level. So this kind of "unpopular" topic is difficult to choose, but it is easier to succeed in writing. Choosing a "hot" topic or an "unpopular" topic depends on your own situation. It is difficult to collect information about "unpopular" topics. You will work harder than others, but you will often get good results, that is, your paper score is higher than other students.
