How to read this work
Separate the argument
from what it establishes.
The DBA review develops possible explanations from existing literature. It does not establish their causal effects through fieldwork.
The MBA dissertation uses secondary data and social-return calculations. Its cross-sectional design and valuation assumptions limit causal interpretation.
The briefs are summaries of academic submissions. They should not be read as peer-reviewed journal articles or as evidence of commercial results at TalkTalk.
