Abstract
This presentation discusses perspectives on non-traditional group dissertation models from a dean, dissertation chair, and doctoral candidate. It provides an example of a three-article group dissertation focusing on 21st century leadership topics. Benefits include deeper analysis through group work, while challenges include coordinating schedules and ensuring individual accountability. Support for group dissertations includes empowering professors, addressing problems of practice, and clear roles, norms, and project management.
