A MANUAL FOR THIS THESIS 

NOTE: Due to the slightly unconventional organisation of this thesis, this page serves as a guide to the various parts of this thesis.  Two main themes are addressed in this thesis:  (1) assessing the current state of the MD role — Part II of the thesis, and (2) evaluating development issues for both the MD post and for those who become MDs — Part III of the thesis.

QUOTATION:  “Quote” is used throughout the thesis to indicate a reference quotation in Appendix 1 of the thesis.

SECTIONAL DIVIDE:  The three stars “*   *   *“ in a stand-alone row is used in this document to separate concluding remarks from the discussions of the current section.

LITERATURE REVIEW: Chapter 2 provides the general background materials for this thesis.  The beginning part of Chapter 4 provides the literature review for Part II while the beginning part of Chapter 7 provides the literature review for Part III.

DISCUSSION: Chapter 6 discusses the analyses and findings for Part II; Chapter 9 discusses the analyses and findings for Part III; Chapter 10 contains the discussions for the analyses and findings in the thesis as a whole.
