Supervisory meeting 29/04

strangely productive meeting 29/4

gave them my CSR stuff a week ago.
HG was all over it. seemed to even like it . YAY.
some points made.

US has not come to dominate. it always has.
chronology not always clear.
need clarity about U-shape - where does detail come from? Is there evidence supporting this?
Need to look at the word 'contract' - does ASPIRATION play a role alongside CONTRACT?
Need to investaigate the viability of dual role.

Both XF and HG look to a 'rival' school of thought - led by Elkington - get his book. Also Bruntland. This is where the environment movement becomes a/ nay the major stakeholder group. They say that most authors may not be aware of the CSR arguement - and will be more aware of the env arguements.

Essential that this school of thought is acknowledged at least i nthe opening of chapter 3 (rt)

Need to get the Elkington book- on hold from Headingley.
also has sustainability.co.uk

Xavier big on 1% sample with JF. Need to get this moving.

Big drive to get moving on methods - danger that things will get lost. Xavier pointing to new environmental paradigm - Dunlop. Need to approach this methodology in the right way.

If i don't get this done, i may lose it. Why why why? Imperative that this is approached in the next 4 weeks.

Purpose - Aim
Process - aim - question
information needed for questions
questionnaire design

Need to suplpy timeline and timeframe.

where am i am on ethics???
