History, politics and (management of) management education: Understanding the construction of management rationale in Ceylon in its historical, political and social context during the British Colonial Period, 1796-1948

During the bursary awarding year, I was fully engaged in writing the narrative composition of my research. When writing the analysis, I realised that some primary sources needed to be included. Thus, I revisited the archives again to collect the primary documents. The year was not without its challenges, but I was able to maintain my composure and determination to finalise the thesis. Apart from analysing and writing the historical narrative, I have updated the literature review and methodology chapters accordingly. The supervision meetings with my supervisors facilitated me immensely to craft my doctoral thesis during this process.
