This video provides some oral defense tips that will be important during your PhD or doctorate. It's especially relevant for people that are doing a PhD in Business Administration.
A PhD oral defense is usually a day long event where are you give a public presentation, and then give a private presentation to some examiners. The examiners can be people from your University or others from other universities. Sometimes it's customary to go out for dinner and drinks after the examination.
Here are some valuable tips for your PhD oral defence (or sometimes called the Viva).
It’s all about the mindset. The biggest issue with the PHD oral defense is to make sure that you view it as a way to improve your thoughts and that your examiners are working with you not against you. If you enter the oral defense in the defense of mindset, you will likely have a poorer experience than proactive mindset.
Be honest with yourself. You likely do not know everything about the particular topic. You know a lot, but not everything. Try to be honest when people ask you questions and you simply can't answer them. Saying “I don't know” is completely acceptable.
Try to create discussions among the examiners. If the examiner asks you a question that you simply can't answer, you can ask them for their input in what they would do in this circumstance.
Keep the discussion moving. PhDs (professors) have a tendency to be full of hot air and probably could ask a lot of questions. if you feel bad they're focusing too much on one particular area you can guide the conversation on to another topic by continuing forward with the discussion.
Try to be crystal clear with your construct definitions and what you did in your study. many of the questions will be focused on what you did or didn't do in the limitations of what you chose to do. Understand that every study has limitations and that is okay.
The goal with the PhD oral defense is just to make sure that you are comfortable with doing research. It's a lot like getting the blessing from your examiners and other people that are going to be your peers that you are capable of doing research. What they will be looking for is whether you have a curious mind and that you're motivated to solve some of the problems that they identify.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
