Because I've picked what company I want to do a case study on but still haven't got round to any substantial research, just basically planned who and what angle I'm going to take.
Essay is due in 13 days :nervous: only 2000 words. But the reading is normally much worse than the writing, at least for me...

I've got to read the whole of Jane Eyre before I even THINK about researching for my essay that's due in...er...18 days.
Hurray.
Well I think that's good for you, but I always get nervous and don't know what to write so really do like to get the books out of the library beforehand. I think if you leave it to the last minute ultimately you're betraying yourself of the grade you could potentially get! I've budgeted 5 days for the whole thing, a few hours a night, so I've got plenty of time left - just wanted to finish in time as I have an essay over easter (which is directly after this essay) and I won't be able to do any research / get any books when I go home which has no University Library .
Maybe universities should have a library sharing scheme, so I could use Leicester Uni's library.
You should ask your Uni about that, mine did. We just needed to get a special card and we could use another Unis library facilities. Don't know the actual conditions of it all as I never used it but if you have another Uni close to home, then it's worth asking.
But I really think I've picked a shit company. Honda is perfect. They're pretty much internationally acclaimed for doing everything right. At least from what I've read. I can't critique them for that.
Close to scrapping everything and starting to look for a different company. Probably a stupid idea... *sigh*
*Kicks Arse*
Just print loads of crap off on said company, grab a highlighter and a pencil and do a few hours reading through it all.
Then tomorrow go to the library and use the 'reference only' books and get a few photocopies done and take that home to read and highlight.
when you feel you know a relative amount start making notes then do a skeleton essay - as in what will go where.
You will have it done in 4 days I promise if you get a wiggle on!
I shall however, kick your arse!!
But seriously, did you know there's a really old book called The Honda Book of Management?! Lol. Everyone in the company whether CEO or cleaner wears exactly the same uniform and is on first name terms , anywhere in the world. They're such an oddity, basically going against my whole module about 'adapting' to the local culture - Honda adapt the local culture to them by introducing their working practices which actually seem to kick ass according to everyone in the world ever.
