Introduction: The Value of a thesis comes after it has been submitted.

 It used to be that a thesis was just the final chapter to academic life – a final paper to fulfil the criteria of your institution, to be assessed by examiners and then sent to lie amongst the archives of the university library. This had been the criterion for success for decades. Once the thesis was finished and handed in then your task was done.


However, in the world we are in today, that is not so any longer.


A thesis’ real worth only begins once it has left the hands of the university system.


Each thesis is so much more than just academic work – it represents years of intensive research, of deep thought and analysis, of systematic reasoning and problem solving, in essence, a large collection of pure concentrated expertise. However, this vast chunk of research has all but remained a contained block of data and understanding within the institution at which it was produced.


This leads to a lack of interaction between academic and practical knowledge.


Today, every industry in the world runs on information, on innovation, on expertise. It is a world in which companies rely on strategies based on sound research, in which businesses seek an opinion of knowledge upon emerging issues and where the use of digital platforms means that people are constantly being rewarded for using knowledge to produce something of value and to turn ideas into concrete output. Expertise today, therefore is a valuable asset.


Because of this, the function of the thesis itself is radically changing.


A thesis is more than just academic submission. A thesis can be a published book, an industry framework, a model of consultancy, a guide for policy, an expert training system or a base of thought leadership. The value and potential of your thesis can be put to use far beyond academic spheres.


This is precisely where thesis commercialization comes into play.


Thesis commercialization is the process of producing academic research in useful formats accessible and applicable for people beyond the boundaries of the university and institutions. It involves repositioning research so that people working in the business and industries can understand and use it for the benefits of themselves and their employers, instead of letting years of concentrated knowledge go unused.


This change is influenced by various factors. First, the world of digital publishing offers so many accessible pathways for reaching audiences globally. Online platforms such as LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, YouTube and a burgeoning sector of self-publishing avenues, allow any researcher to interact directly with readers without any necessary involvement of academic bodies. Simultaneously, it is becoming ever more evident that industries are now placing a higher importance on knowledge in specific niche fields and its immediate practical applicability.


The most significant change however is not that of technology; it is a strategic change.


The researcher needs to view the thesis less as a final stage and more as the building of valuable assets. Producing knowledge remains a key skill but translating and leveraging knowledge so that it is of a relevant format and that it communicates a powerful message is equally, if not more so, valuable in our professional and working life today.


The future success of an academic piece will therefore depend not just on the quality of the research but its relevance to our everyday lives.


While traditional academia produced knowledge; the world of today needs the use of knowledge.
