MLIS, Lucchi, MBA,

Very well developed thesis including through review of theory and relevant literature, analysis of current project situation, and thorough and evidence-based recommendations. Based on my understanding of the purpose and goals of this thesis, it seems to meet all such objectives. Currently used methods within the Student Club project are honestly evaluated for current adequacy and efficiency, and the conclusions and interpretations of the researcher (M. Datelinka) are sound and reasonable. Furthermore, these conclusions seem to be highly practically viable, assuming stakeholders and the current project manager are willing to implement them. Professional language and terminology is used throughout the thesis, and it follows a well-organized framework, replete with evidence and information resources. While I have little criticism to offer regarding this thesis, I could point to some instances of in-text citations not being included for paraphrases or summaries of evidence (though all direct quotes are sufficiently cited). This is a minor detail, though, and I recognize that standards for citing evidence may likely vary from country to country. Regarding content of the thesis, the only deficiency I noticed is in regards to lack of strictly accurate data in some cases, such as customers, net income, and other points of data. The researcher acknowledges this explicitly, though, and he soundly extrapolated from the existing data, even if limited, to make reasonable and thorough conclusions.

Otázky

1. Your analysis of the existing project and project charter point to an initial lack of documentation, data, and planning for the Student Club project. Do you sense there would be any resistance to implementing your proposed plan (scenario 4 or 3) and utilizing the appropriate matrices and other project management tools? If so, how could you overcome possible resistance? 2. This thesis naturally omits a recommended marketing plan, as the focus is on implementation of project management theory and principles. However, extant research shows the relationship between project management and marketing. In what ways have you considered (or, could you consider) marketing theory and principles in the establishment of proposed project management tools and implementation of your recommended next steps for the Student Club project?
