Dear Simhan,
I'm an MBA-HR professional and have been working in HR in the manufacturing industry for the past 5 years. I am planning to start my Ph.D. soon. Before enrolling in any university, I would like to be specific about the topic of my research. Therefore, I seek your advice. My interest lies in the fields of Performance Management, Training & Development, Behavior changes, etc., particularly for manufacturing organizations. Could you please guide me or suggest a challenging and useful topic?
Thank you.

Dear Gari,
Thank you for the request and for providing me with some information about your background and interests.
What matters in pursuing a Ph.D. is, in addition to your interest, the feasibility of collecting primary data. Therefore, you need to consider which organization will grant you access. For instance, a researcher's interest was Total Quality Management (TQM) in Higher Education. Although the individual was an academic and could get people to respond to questionnaires, the respondents were not available for interviews, hindering the researcher from triangulating the results. I assume you are familiar with the concept of triangulation in research methodologies. Consequently, the researcher could not complete their Ph.D.
Hence, my suggestion is to read recent literature on the topics to discover what others have undertaken, where, how, and why they approached it that way and also to assess any existing gaps in the research field. When pursuing a Ph.D., it is crucial to contribute something novel to the knowledge repository. A Ph.D. is not conferred for reiterating what has already been accomplished by others.
Kind regards,
From United Kingdom
