Dissertations / Ph.D. research topic in HRM [6]

Dear all,

Please suggest a research topic to me. I am MBA in HRM and want to pursue Ph.D. in corporate social responsibility. I want to narrow down the topic to the issues related to pollution, carbon footprint etc. Please also let me know whether such a topic will fall in HRM category if environmental issues are associated with the topic I choose?

Thanks

Dissertations / Ph.D. research topic in HRM [6]

Thanks Kevin for your vary valuable reply.

I have not thought of any specific industry for the research. Since, environmental issues are fastly emerging especially in connection with the Indian industry, I found it a hot topic. I myself was interested

to pursue such a topic which is of my interest.
I was a bit apprehensive whether this topic would be too wide for a Ph. D. research. If it is to be further narrowed down, it can focus on urban industry or a specific area. I primarily want to study the state of environmental responsibility in Indian industry and then to find the ways to implement the best practices for the improvement.

Kindly suggest me if I should narrow down the topic/area of research or I can go ahead with the same.

I again thank you for your advice.
