Abstract:
Kiriri toiled on his research project. He framed some questions that he always pondered. While working in banking, he noticed various trends among the managers around him. Inasmuch, Kiriri formed opinions about his observations. He decided to turn his observations into a Ph.D. His main question revolved around if bank managers behave politely to employees, do tellers then perform better in their jobs? So Kiriri proceeded to pull literature reviews on bank performance. He included many ratios on profitability margins, liquidity ratios, and executive compensation. His literature review highlighted the banking-centric literature. He enjoyed reading about all he found interesting in the financial services sector. However, when Kiriri submitted his doctoral dissertation at Durham University in the UK, he failed his viva examination. Instead of research, he unwittingly cropped together a fascinating journalistic expose on salient current events in the banking industry. He unfortunately did not understand the basis for rigorous research.
