“Since I attempt to investigate the theories of organisational studies and management in the creative sector, my current project has been quite a challenging journey across different fields of business, management and cultural studies. The emma doctoral summer school has provided a great opportunity to clarify my ideas and to earn the insightful feedback from other PhD participants. At the same time, Bournemouth was beautiful with beaches and nice weather. This will be a memorable event!”
