Notes
Final feedback from my internationally renowned thesis advisor Prof.: "It is a very well organized, sophisticated, and clearly reported study ... Participation rates on your survey were very good and as you reported the results you made good use of quotations to justify and explain your conclusions". Appraisal from Harvard Business School Professor: "This is superb work: thorough and well written ... I’ve already mined your bibliography and discovered a series of articles that have been helpful in my own research".
