The library is closing in 10 minutes, this will be another quick post!! My week was very busy again between work and family support so I did not make any research progress. Fortunately I had a productive day today although I had to dedicate about 90 minutes to rerunning some analysis because I discovered that I had neglected to deselect the “select cases” option in SPSS. They warn you about this in the statistics text books and I am normally pretty good with this, but clearly not this time!!
Overall it has been a productive day. I am hoping to do some additional work in the evenings next week so that I can complete my second draft of Chapter 4 and then focus on revising my Literature Review next week. I must say that the writing is flowing a lot more easily and I am feeling good about my research.
Yesterday I received a copy of the AOM Journal yesterday and scanned a few random articles while eating dinner on the deck last night. As I was closing the journal I found myself enjoying a “secret smile” as I realized that I had unconsciously read the articles “normally” and I was struck by the fact that when I began the DBA academic writing felt like a completely foreign language to me. I guess this means that I am becoming bilingual!!
