A colleague of mine sent me this interesting link. Managing Knowledge Security was also featured in The Hindu Business Line - see [LINK]. This is the second book of mine to be featured by the The Hindu Business Line. The Outsourcing Handbook (a co-authored publication with M. Power and C. Bonifazi) was also featured by the paper.

Last evening went out and had dinner with a good colleague of mine Ashley Braganza (see LINK) near Harrow-on-the-Hill. Today, spent the morning taking a walk near London Bridge and then got to the office. The plan for today is to get through one article that I need to revise and resubmit back to a journal.

Got back this morning…An average day in terms of productivity…Got through reading five papers and making a few notes…Still having difficulty conceptualizing my ideas…But not to worry, will head to the pub for a pint and reflection on the day…

I delivered my talk on building sustainable innovation programs at the Aberystwyth School of Management and Business, Aberystwyth University. I enjoyed the lively discussion with the faculty and doctoral students.

Got into Aberystwyth at about 1.30 PM and headed to the Gwesty Cymru (see http://www.gwestycymru.com/). The hotel is lovely and the room is even better. My room has a spectacular view and overlooks the Irish Sea. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Prof. Sajjad M Jasimuddin (see LINK). I spent an hour chatting with Sajjad and then roamed around this beautiful town.

See below for pictures…(the first two pictures are views from my room window…)

On Wednesday the 20th, I will be delivering a talk at the Aberystwyth School of Management and Business (http://www.aber.ac.uk/smba/en/). So this morning, I boarded a train from London Euston to Aberystwyth, Wales. The train ride involved a short transit in Birmingham New Street. See below for pictures from the train ride and the transit stop…I was busy preparing for my talk during the train ride, but it was hard to focus once the train entered Wales as the scenery was spectacular.

I have been enjoying London. I have gotten settled in my flat and am now getting into the groove of research. I spent most of the day reading through old papers and thinking of new ideas. I also went and saw my office at LSE yesterday. It is lovely and the staff there are also excellent. Here are some pictures taken during my free time…

(P.S. The most interesting ideas and research conversations occur over a few pints…)

I got to London yesterday morning...Spent the whole day roaming around the city and getting through the jetlag. Today, will be spending the day at the Royal Society of the Arts (http://www.rsa.org.uk) and then at the London School of Economics and Political Science (www.lse.ac.uk/).
