Hi everyone,
I'm currently writing my Bachelor's thesis with the RQ: "What are the key factors enabling hotel entrepreneurs and managers in Germany to cope with future pandemics?" The purpose of the report is to develop a training manual for hotel entrepreneurs and managers on how to cope with future pandemics (=recommendations section of the report).
My question: can I introduce new sources in my recommendations section? For example, if one of my recommendations is to improve online guest communication - by backing it up with my primary data collection and a secondary source - should said secondary source already be introduced in the findings & analysis part of the report or can I also first mention it in the recommendations section?
Best,
Felix
Comparing and contrasting your major findings with the findings of other closely related researchers, you need to write the Discussion section of your thesis. Comparison is not part of your recommendation section. Considering several factors and inline with the research questions or the objectives of your own investigation, you need to write your recommendations strongly and persuasively.
Dear Felix Kloever ,
I think my advice is somewhere in between the two researchers who have already responded. Whilst there is no rule which states you cannot include a new citation in a recommendation, there is probably a better way to do this by introducing the argument for your recommendation earlier, such as in your discussion before your conclusions. By doing this you can cite evidence earlier and build a foundation upon which your recommendation can stand.
