Dave Ulrich's comments

From: Dave Ulrich To: omer wahab Sent: Wednesday, 21 March 2012, 16:11 Subject: RE: HI from Sudan javascript:void(0); It was a delight to meet you in Sudan. I hope to be helpful in your research. I made some edits on your letter. I also read your overview. May I ask a few pointed questions: 1. State the “phenomenon” you are interested … can you give a specific example of what you are going to test. This example (or phenomenon) offers a clear understanding of the issue your research will address. 2. Lay out clearly the logic you are studying: a. What are the outcome (dependent) variables you are interested in b. What are the independent variables c. What are the relationships you propose 3. Your effort to separate the terms core competence, RBV, capability, intangibles is very helpful. it would be good to lay them out very clearly. What do you have in mind for your sample? How will you measure some of the terms? These are my responses. Dave
