There has been a mistake regarding the poster size. I realize that the A0 size is a bit too big (Mahjung size). The actual poster size is A2. The measurement is as follows:

420 x 594 mm
16.5 x 23.4 in

Thank you to Fadil for informing me about my mistake.

Assignment 2 - Literature Review

Dear Students,

I would like to inform that Assignment 2 is due to start. The instruction and sample article is ready for download from my elearning sites. Please read the instruction carefully and get back to me if you have any questions.

I would like to emphasis on the job that you've already done on your blog. Those group who already search for resources, you have a huge advantage since most of the resources can be used for this assignment. Please re-organise the resources and put it in your assignments in a systematic way as I mention in the instruction.

I forgot to mention in the instruction regarding the significance of this resources. Please have at least 15 references in your literature review. I'm sure most of the content comes from other source (Don't just cut and paste, and didn't quote the author/ writer). So please do the referencing appropriately (I suggest use Endnote XI which can be downloaded from CICT). If I have time, will show you a demo of how to use Endnote software in class.

Good luck!

Progress So Far

Hi Guys,

Just to update you guys on your friends progress. Congratulations to Manager Master and The Big Four. I can say that you both set the standard for others to follow. Keep up the good work!

As I mention today, please do a review on your selected topic by referring to journal articles or magazines. 2 or 3 articles should suffice. Google Scholars is the easiest and fastest way to get the articles. If you have more time, PSZ is the best place to get the extra resources.

I will provide some examples of article reviews in few days time. So please visit this blog for further updates.

Tips on Resources for Transportation Industry

Hi,

As I mention in our class, every group need to identify specific topic of interest in transportation industry. To be honest, transportation industry is huge where it doesn't only cover the vehicles (cars, lorries, boats, airplane, etc), but also it includes all the services (public transportation, automotive design, logistics, delivery, etc).

I've come across several resources which is really interesting: books, magazines, newspaper to start with. There's a huge number of books in the library that covers topics such as logistics, supply chain management system, transportation for tourism, etc.

To start, I will share some journals information that discuss about transportation. Among them:
Some excellent example of logistic website such as:
That's it from me. I guess you guys better start work now :)

Assignment 1 - Group Formation and Blog Creation

Hi,

As I mention in our previous class (Jan 5, 2009), your first assignment is to form a group (approximately 4 people) and create a blog. This blog will serve as a medium for each of the group to communicate and cooperate among each others. Furthermore it will be the center for each of the group to report on your progress (assignments, projects, thought, comments, etc).

Please be advice that you need to complete this first task by the end of this week.

Good Luck.
