9th meeting with supervisor

Alhamdullilah..after almost 7 months my journey have been start..my sv said to me today that I have to narrow down my topic area.Based on my explaination on reading progress, she can see that my topic can give 2 phd topic area..so she asked me to choose one from two area that I look for at the moment...Might be some minor changes into my objectives of research and my aim of study. But it's not too late anymore rather than changes after 1 year.

In begins, I plan to look up in unemployment graduates in Malaysia problem and plan to solve using knowledge sharing application.But based on my readings, I feel its too heavy and too complicated if I continue with this topic area. Furthermore,currently in my country forecasted that economic recession might be happen. It means that, unemployment graduates problems may increases and again the the methodology also should be complicated..and until now I still can't see how to find it ....When my sv asked me which area that you feel interested on- I felt that organizational issues related with knowledge sharing is most interested to me.So..my job now, you have to try investigate focusly to:

What the organizational issues that effects to knowledge sharing ??????

A few advices from my sv:
-I must remember phd study is the journey...so don't bother too much the rest of your surroundings...grab all the experiences....
-I must polish my english skills through communication,writings and listening..PLEASE darling..
-try to enhance the writing skill through submit the journal..it is not necessary to highly ranked journal...for beginner researcher like me,it's ok if can I send ordinary journals..as long as the paper will accepted...

INSYAALLAH..YA ALLAH PERMUDAHKANLAH 'PERJALANANKU INI'

Met Dr Sudi Sharifi...

Today I've met Dr Sudi Sharifi who is Director of Research Center of People,Work and Organization in MAMS.This meeting based on recommendation on my supervisor too. We had one hour discussion talk about what I'm doing about and luckily she in organizational learning area.It means she really understand my area although not in details...She is qualitative experts.She willing to share her expertise with me and I'm happy with her.In addition she also have one Oman phd students who study in similiar topics with me..oooppps not exactly same....Her students study on Factors affecting the higher education graduates appropriates to Oman's labour market.Definitely her students not touch on knowledge sharing issues because he is more on quality measurement issue besides on his (Dr Sudi's student) study....
Hopefully I'll be more clear with this discussion....yearh..you can do it Nor Intan Saniah Sulaiman...

Refresh with the End Note X

Last 1 & 1/2 years ago, I did attend course regarding EndNote in my workplace(UUM,Malaysia). That course was included in 10 days-Methodology Method Course which is part of condition for those who will further study...Erm.....because of I'm not use that tools for long time ...so I decide to refresh back the bibliography management skill with Anne Sherwin today-the person incharge on EndNote X here...
Start with email to her last week(get the contact email from the Mrs Susan Baker-Librarian in Univ of Salford, who I had met last month).
Yearh..she was very helpful with me.She bring along with her the EndNote handouts because different database that we search from have different steps to manage our papers. Furthermore I'll attend her 2-hour course by this coming september to polish up my skills.

Like my spouse, he using Latex for his writings which includes bibliography management tools too, but I'm not confident with it. latex needs me good in programming skills which I'm not too expert with that skills...

Very important to me and for those have 'a long journey' like me...

Using information sources

Using information sources in a systematic and structured manner will save you a good deal of time. Developing a search strategy is vital as it provides you with an overall structure for your search and provides a record of your search history. This is an extremely useful record to have as you find yourself needing to refine or change the focus of your searching as your research develops. It can also improve the relevancy of results obtained as you have thought about keywords and synonyms and how these relate to each other.

The following are suggested steps in retrieving information:
i. Defining the information need and stating it as a question
ii. Breaking the need into its component parts
iii. Identifying synonyms and prioritising keywords
iv. Searching specific sources
v. Evaluating the information
vi. Evaluating the search process
(adapted from Constructing a Search Strategy, Duffel, 1995).

Something Right

Something Right

Never thought that I'd be so inspired
Never thought that I would find a higher truth
I believed that love was overrated
'Till the moment I found you

Now baby I know I don't deserve the love you give me
but now I understand that

**************
If you want me
I must be doing something right
I've got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me and baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing,
Doing something right


It's because of you I feel so lifted
I've been looking at my life from higher ground
Never thought that I'd be so elated
You're the one who turned it all around

Now baby I didn't know myself until you changed me
It made me understand that

And baby I know I don't deserve the love you give me
But I don't really care 'cause..

So if you need me and baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
I know I must be doing
Doing something right

the more I read the more I don't know nothing...

Actually my target must read at least 2 journals by everyday for weekdays but at this moment it just my aim...I'm still feel hard to implement that my aim...at this moment my momentum is very low.....my progress too slow...but I don't care all the people surrounds me..my sv said to me phd is not race time...

Differences between World 1.0 and World 2.0

More than anything we need "Mindset 2.0" or "Thinking 2.0" - new ways of looking at and thinking about the world and seeing the opportunities to work in new innovative ways that these new technologies allow.

Here is a brief comparison of the two worlds. This thinking can be applied in business, in education and learning, to adults and to children and to government and to society. Its not just about technology!

>

World 1.0	World 2.0
Knowledge sharing and learning is imposed additional work	Knowledge sharing and social learning is a welcome natural part of people's everyday work
Work takes places behind closed doors	Work takes place transparently where everyone can see it
IT Tools are imposed on people	People select the tools that work best for them
People are controlled out of fear they will do wrong	People are given freedom in return for accepting responsibility
Information is centralized, protected and controlled	Information is distributed freely and uncontrolled
Publishing is centrally controlled	Anyone can publish what they want
Context is stripped from information	Context is retained in the form of stories
People think quietly alone	People think out loud together
People tend to write in the third person, in a professional voice	People write in the first person in their own voice
People especially those in authority are closed to new ideas and new ways of working	Everyone is open to new ideas
Information is pushed to people whether they have asked for it or not	People decide the information they need and subscribe to it
The world is seen through a Newtonian cause and effect model	The world is recognized to be complex and that different approaches are needed
