280511 gör om gör rätt?


På nytt.


Mitt Research Project har fått sig en törn och med ca två veckor kvar till inlämning blir det en helomvändning.

Nytt arbetsnamn på arbetet är:
CSR what?
 - Is it relevant for business?

Begreppsförvirring är grunden till den nya approachen.

Everything is getting closer.
Due dates
Examinations

And the one thing that motivates me to keep it up, my sister is coming to visit.


I have been able to structure the dissertation/Research Project. The pieces are starting to look like they actually fit together.
I am still struggling with some issues though. I have written too much, and I need to write more. It is going to be a project in itself to reduce the word count. And I have not yet started with my methodology. I have some ideas about how to approach it but I need to consult my supervisor and we are not going to met until Thursday.
CSR is a complex area. The theory and body of literature and information is so much bigger than I imagined. This is a vastly researched subject. How come no one has succeeded put it into the spotlight, actually making the definitions clear?
A. Carroll wrote the step stone article and put forward the Pyramid of CSR. This is a straight forward step-by-step illustration and explanation of the build-up of CSR. I think it is the definition to tend to, to use. It makes it clear.

Tomorrow.
Research Project lesson, 10am – 01pm
Business Strategy assignment, until late
Coffee with J and M – they are leaving soon. Back to Sweden, they will be missed.

110511 keep on swimming

Almost done with the International Marketing assignment. Me and C have done our part and now we're just waiting for B and M.

When the Internat. Mktg is turned in, there's two group assignments left and the dissertation.

I have decided that I am going to finish my Literature Review tomorrow (today rather). Five hours in the library should give me the time to finish it. I have a lot of reading to do, but I have to manage. Must finish the Review so that I can start rewriting my objectives and write Methodology so that I can conduct my primary research. There's no options.

The master students, and the other BA students are going home within days now. They are going to be missed... Now it's going to be C, me and the french. The french. 
I have a french verson of Photoshop istalled on my computer now. I'm going to have to lern french. It is inevitable.

070511 Trying to write, but the thoughts are all over.

Vem har sagt att en person inte kan påverka? Jan Rapp bryr sig i alla fall inte om det.

One individual can make a difference. This fact is proven troughout history.


Service Marketing and Management - Done.

I have finally started writing my litterature review, 700 words out of 2000, but I don't know if I am going to be able to use everything I have written until now.

I have a couple of "Key Authors", but I don't know if they are the right ones.
Archie Carroll, Paul Hawkins, Ray Andersson, Philip Kotler, Freeman, Friedman.
They are on my list, but I cannot access all of them. I'll do my best.


Tack för mailet bästa mamma.

The wind is blowing hard outside, whistling and calling, pulling the trees. I don’t know why, but it’s scaring me. I’m tired and I am not. I am hungry, but I am not.

Me and C finished the HRM assignment. The Service Marketing and Management assignment is almost done. Structure and esthetics left, but G did put it together and now I have done some work on it too.
I did put it in the Dropbox for C to look at. Soon.

The best sister ever existed, is coming to visit me in June. I can't wait.

Submission date for Marketing Communication is on Friday, then International Marketing and then Business Strategy. When are we supposed to have time for our research projects?

Time to step it up. I will conquer the wind.
