It could be difficult for one of us to find a dissertation topic , even if we could find one the question should be asked is: is it researchable? the answer for this question is very important. Moreover, what kind of research method I could employ in field and also how it can be managed? I will try here to provide a list of research topics for Accounting, Economics, Management and finance
Let's start with Trademarks and accounting
RECOGNITION AND MEASURMENT OF INTERNALLY GENERATED TRADEMARKS UNDER IAS (38)
The importance of intangible assets for businesses has increased recently, such as goodwill, Research and Development (R&D) and trademarks. They have become a considerable part of some companies’ value; as a result their accounting treatment has become more important. Moreover, the need of improving accounting for them has increased, especially internally generated intangible assets.
A study could focus on the internally generated trademark, where it meets the assets criteria under International Accounting Standard (IAS) 38 or not. Furthermore, it could also review the measurement and reporting of trademarks which are generated internally.
The study might investigate the accounting theory of home grown trademarks and accounting policies which are used in some countries around the world to find if there are any different accounting treatments to IAS 38.
Hope it helps
