classification of product design styles

“e-mail regarding my thesis from my mentor:
One of the issues we are currently working on is how to describe interior products or products that are assigned to certain design styles. At the moment, there is still a gap in the literature: the stylistic descriptions are often incomplete and inconsistent. For this reason, we have developed an instrument to remedy this situation. With the instrument, products/design styles can be evaluated on 2 levels (symbolism & aesthetics). Symbolism means: Which associations are connected with the product/ design style (e.g. feminine/masculine, loud/quiet, sustainable/not sustainable). Aesthetics means: what shapes/colors etc. were used in the product/design style? (Ex: round/angular, …). The instrument was developed based on existing scales. For example, the scale on aesthetics based on the paper by Chen & Owen (1997).
In the appendix you can find complete scale (Skala_Symb_Ästh_Designstile). We have already conducted studies with this scale. We showed the test persons pictures of a reading corner designed according to a style or of single products and had them rate the scale.
What should be part of your work?
Theoretical part: Research: Which instruments for the stylistic characterization/classification of products exist in the literature so far? What is missing so far? What problems currently arise from stylistic misclassifications? To what extent does research and practice benefit from a possibility to classify products stylistically cleanly?
– Implementation of a questionnaire: Survey of aesthetic attributes (product-related) (4 styles, 4 products per style): For this, actually only an existing scale would have to be checked once and then programmed in Unipark and the FB sent out
– Evaluation of the data: Comparison with Chen/Owen scale (see appendix): Which items did we use in addition (see Excel doc)? Using different analyses (descriptive and inferential) show the added value of the items we used in addition to the Chen/Owen scale (e.g. this item x helps to discriminate between these two styles)
———————————————————————————————————————————
due to the data privacy, I cannot send the Excel doc which I mentioned above. So I will do the part ” Implementation of a questionnaire” by myself.

You can start the introduction or theoretical part and finish the theoretical part by Juli, I will do the Survey and collect the data during this period of time. Afterward, we can talk about and do the part of the “evaluation of the data.”

RESEARCH PAPER: THIRD WAVE OF FEMINISM

By the 1990s, women were enjoying the benefits of higher education and entrance into the corporate world, working as doctors, lawyers, professors and politicians, as well as competing in most major sports. However, for the majority of working women in the United States, their pay scale for the same work done by a male was significantly lower than their male counterparts. Furthermore, the feminist movement had been thwarted, criticized and held back enough that females had to endure sexual harassment, physical and mental abuse, and received less credit and fame as male actors and athletes. Use the contents of this course as a guide: the documents in the course and textbook, Power Points, and especially my Power Point later in the semester, plus the work of leading journalists, sociologists and women’s historians to report on the final efforts at achieving full equality and “protection under the law.” This, as well as everyone’s civil rights, should have been protected and insured from the founding of this country. Has the third wave been successful yet?
Paper length and requirements: This paper should be at least 6 pages in length, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, and based upon at least four academic sources. This means do not base the report upon biography.com, Wikipedia, about.com, or any other “quick answer” online sources. Go to the library online, use primary documents from the textbook, and read academic sources, whether they are my reserve books, academic journals or other historic works.

Generational transition in family business (with a focus on transition from first to second and from second to third generations)

I would like to cover in my thesis some of the points: – go through the need for setting up a family council, the importance of regular family meetings, the role of a non-family adviser in succession planning and other prerequisites to setting up the scene for a smooth transition; – the importance of relations between family and non-family managers and the need to differentiate between what’s best for the family and what’s best for the business; – Use TATA as benchmark for transitioning between the generations in family business; – And additionally we might also include the topic of nurturing the following generations in the right way to equip them with the set of skills needed to be a part and run the family business. This includes education as well as the need for work experience outside of the family business. To examine the role of knowledge as a factor that leads to a competitive advantage in family businesses and how it enables family businesses to adapt and evolve in order to survive and stay in the lead.; I also need references for the thesis – at least 15-20 references
