Jepsonclough: Hey Thanks for the help, but you got me all wrong there, its just that i was not sure how to start my search for a specific topic in consumer behavior.
when i said the topics you may be doing research on i meant to share the general area in consumer behavior that you may be working on just so i have an idea of what areas are being researched on at present in the field!
By no way did i imply to be presented with a ready made research question or literature reviews as I'm very well aware of the fact that it will be 'MY' PhD not 'Anybody else's'

Hey Everyone :-)
I have narrowed down consumer behavior as my research interest, and in particular i was looking at post purchase behavior to focus my research on!
Any ideas about where i can get hold of research articles and arrive at a concrete research question, so that i can start preparing my research proposal :-) (i would really appreciate it if you can share some research topics any of you may be doing a PhD in, so i can get a idea about what kind of research is in progress currently)
If you have any suggestions about any other areas in consumer behavior please fell free to share.

PatrickO: Thanks a lot buddy, that was very helpfull!

Hey guys!
I was searching for a thread on this particular topic but could not find one, so i created a new one.
I'm a MBA marketing student, i just completed it and am considering doing a PhD.But the problem is how to choose a suitable research topic!Are there any particular ways to find a topic from scratch??
(Also i was thinking of doing my PhD from a university in UK.Any advice on which are good universities and funding would also be helpful.)
Any advice and help would be very highly appreciated!!:-)
