Dissertation update
The dissertation continues a pace. I am finding it an excellent experience and a tough slog at the same time.
The topic of my dissertation is looking at determining business feasibility (very interesting) combined with Motor Sport (extremely interesting!) Through the company I am working with, I have been conducting primary research (i.e. new, not from a book research) with some successful and influential people in the Sport.
For example so far, a multiple Indycar and Indy 500 winner, a former F1 test driver and now successful team owner and an F1 team principal. Furthermore, I have interviewed a former England Rugby star and have other exciting meetings in the diary for the next few weeks. What a different experience!
It is great to be involved and meeting these people, who have freely given their time (nearly 3 hours in one case) to help me with researching my project. Having a chance to apply the MBA / business perspective is awesome.
The hard slog is when I am back at the desk, alone and needing to crunch through the information and pull together the report. Like many, I am a people person so miss the energy of the class.
