Giving your dissertation a title early on can help to remind you of your argument and what you want to demonstrate to the reader.
A good dissertation title should be:
Descriptive and explanatory (not general)
Precise
Possibly include important components/aspects of the research strategy e.g. situated nature, population, methodology
Avoid using abbreviations and acronyms
A simple way to write a dissertation title is to set out two parts separated by a colon:
A general area: A specific focus within the area
For example: Barriers to Internet banking adoption: A qualitative study among corporate customers in Thailand
OR
Engaging bit: Informative bit
For example: Changing Bodies: Matters of the Body in the Fiction of Octavia E. Butler
