I can’t believe it! This thesis process I started nearly 2 years ago is at an end. I’ve turned in my thesis, presented to my peers and hopefully JAMK will take the results and use them to their best benefit. I want to thank all of you wonderful International Business Degree Alumni that helped me along the way! You encouraged me and helped me answer the questions I was desperate to answer. Without you, none of this would have been possible. My most sincere thanks to all of you! What I hope will result will be an alumni network that will get stronger year by year. This network isn’t going anywhere by the way. I still intend to keep this going no matter what! Feel free to drop a line and post on the Facebook pages! Thanks again!

Are you writing your thesis? I am and have found this book to be very helpful. It’s available in Finnish and English. The English translations were done by Marietta Gates. You might know her as she used to be head of IB. This book is very informative about types of research and validity of results and also gives hints on a sensible layout to help you organize your thoughts. If you don’t know where to start and the thesis feels like an impossible task this book just might get you over that first hurdle. The official description is below as well as a link to where it can be purchased.

Publication info
This book is a practical step-by-step guide for thesis writers. It explains research concepts and techniques in simple layman’s terms and helps you raft through the thesis process without hitting the worst rocks.
The book covers both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Special emphasis is on the criteria of scientific research, reliability and validity, as well as presentation of quantitative material.
The thesis is often seen as an insurmountable challenge. Thesis research is, however, no rocket science – except for rocket scientists. Scientific work proceeds according to certain rules, just like any other work that aims at a good end result. This book will help you reach that result.
Jorma Kananen is Principal Lecturer in Business Research and Development at JAMK University of Applied Sciences, Finland, and has a long career as a market researcher and teacher of scientific research.
