Since you have already examined several research articles, another way would be to examine previous dissertations in these areas.

go to the Dissertation Database, and locate an interesting topic on Information governance models, frameworks, regulations, etc.

Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.

• Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?
• Is the problem rooted in the literature?
• Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?
• Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.
