Sense-making and Imagination

I've done with the above paper. What a relieve. Hopefully, this paper achieves the standard of high impact journal that i aim for. Doest matter how long it takes, i'll make sure this paper pass through the hassel. Insyallah.

I'm now preparing SAP case for dry run tomorrow with the MIA. I wrote this case last month and when I read it again, I'm not sure whether the case suits the accounting student. Well, lets give it a try tomorrow. Open for critiques.


My frgs e-commerce proposal was rejected because of technical reason ( I didnt submit the researchers' cv!) and my application for industry research grant for case development with MPC was rejected because of budget reason (budget too high). Two rejections at a time. Frustrated! Anyway, with positive thinking, I have more time now to focus  on writing articles for journals.  

Thank you Ya Allah Ya Alim.

E-procurement implementation in Malaysia government

I have submitted the above article for review to one of the Emerald journal, yesterday. Hope to receive good feedback or accepted with minor revision.

I am now still rewriting the communicating knowledge article, trying to get the idea of imagination, language and prior experience into a model. This is my first attempt to change my style of writing - generating a theory from data instead of extending existing theory. Hope to get it ready before Raya. Phew...

Switch and Tune

I need to start review the communicating knowledge paper today, or else it wouldnt be ready by end of this week. Opps... tomorrow is friday and that means I am left with 24 hours to get it done. Impossible. I havent touch this paper since last wed. My mind was busy with the offshore accounting outsourcing analysis last week and now I have to set the analysis aside as the transcription need to be reviewed before any further analysis could be done. I have to start switch and tune my mind to the communicating knowledge paper or else I will never get it done!

Too busy

I'm not sure what made me busy but I'm busy...Busy with kids, research and writing... as usual. I need to calm down a little bit and focus. Too much to do and I cannot do everything at once. Ok, lets go back a step behind...listing the jobs that need to be done asap


1. rewrite paper of communicating knowledge - now the intention is to focus on sense-making
2. action research - first visit should be done before end of this month - need to finalise the open-ended questions
