Under 100 words

ANZAM Doctoral Workshop held in Melbourne (5-6 June) asks me to describe my thesis under 100 words. OK, let's try it!

A current research is an investigation of how Australian organisations understand and apply a management concept called “5S” which stems from Japanese life wisdom for improving quality of life and work. Using a qualitative-oriented case study method, this research attempts to understand and illustrate the importance of 5S in an Australian management context. A multiple-holistic case study was designed to compare and contrast its result with the original 5S concept. The goal of this research is to construct a basic framework of 5S that Australian organisations can incorporate into their quality improvement programs. (93 words)


How does this sound? Oh, do not criticise hard on my English...

Another application form asks me to describe it under 25 words. Wow, this is much tough! OK, I will try it again...

My thesis is a qualitative case study with a multiple-holistic design to investigate how Australian organisations understand and apply a management concept called 5S. (24 words)


Does anyone make sense of this?
