The most important task in preparing to write a dissertation is identifying a current problem that is of interest to you. Conducting research can be a daunting task; however, conducting research on a topic or area that is of interest to the researcher can be motivating and make the research process easier. In this assignment, you will conduct research to identify a current problem in your dissertation topic or area of interest.

Using the module readings and the Argosy University online library resources, address the following:

• Research at least five articles in appropriate trade journals or academic peer-reviewed journals to find a current problem in your dissertation topic or area of interest.
• Describe the problem.
• Discuss why you are interested in this topic.
• Explain why addressing this problem might aid the field of study both practically (actual organizational setting) and academically.
• Identify professional organizations that might assist your research efforts in your topic or area or perhaps be interested in your dissertation study findings.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Note: The title page, references, and appendices are not included in the page count.

Write your responses in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
