Get abstract book summaries on my e-book reader

For all of you who just can´t get enough of brainfood, like me, have a look at

http://www.getabstract.com/

This is a great service, where you can subscribe to abstracts of classic and current management books and other literature. They also offer a premium rate, where you can download unlimited abstracts.

I use this service to scan the new management literature and to decide, which books I want to read. In addition it gives me a lot of input in a very short time.
An alternative is: http://www.summary.com/
These are the executive book summaries from Soundview.

A great way to read the summaries on the go is one of the new e-book-readers.
I use the Sony e-book-reader, which has a native pdf support.
It is a great way to safe weight while travelling, as it carries tons of books in its memory.
You can even read in the bright sunshine and the battery lasts for more than a day, as it only needs power, when you turn the page.

You can find more infos on it at: http://www.sony.de/hub/reader-ebook

Metzingen outlet city

A nice link for all smart shoppers:
http://www.outletcity-metzingen.com/

The factory outlet of Boss in Metzingen is one of my main sources of suits since my early working days.
Over the past few years Metzingen has developed to a real factory outlet city.
Now you can find much more than just Boss there.

So when you are near Stuttgart, you have to stop by there.

Proquest-Great full text research tool for articles and thesises

My main tool for the literature research for my PhD is Proquest.
You can find it at:
http://www.proquest.co.uk/en-UK/

You can even find DBA and PhD thesises in full text from 2009. Another nice functionality is, that you can see the articles that cited the found article. This allows crawling through the literature not only backwards, but also forward. You can also subscribe to a RSS feed of your search. Then you always get an update in your RSS reader when a new article or thesis is online which has the criteria of your search. I use the google reader for this (as I can access it online from all of my or other PCs).

A really great way to find the most recent articles on your topic. This is so much easier than spending hours in the library like it used to be in the past. I love the internet for this.

For all of you who are enrolled at a university for their DBA or PhD studies, most of the universities have a university login to give full access to their students. I have one from my university (School of Management at the University of Bradford).
