Friends of the Elsmar Cove,
My name is Joao Mil-Homens and I am doctoral student at Virginia Tech. I would like to invite you to be part of a research project that I am conducting. The goal of my dissertation is to explore some of the accomplishments and limitations of ISO 14001, through the perspective of environmental auditors and consultants.
As you are probably aware, although there is plenty of academic interest in ISO 14001, there is very little empirical knowledge on its outcomes. Moreover, no one has ever thought of asking the 'real-life experts' on ISO 14001 - environmental auditors and consultants - their perceptions on the adoption of the standard.
My research aims to address this issue and give voice to the most experienced environmental auditors and consultants in the US. Based on your experience as consultants/auditors and managers, your participation in this study is very important.
I would like to invite you to take part in a short interview consisting of 15 questions that should take approximately 45 minutes. Your participation will be strictly confidential. I will use pseudonyms to protect all individuals and organizations referred in this study.
If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at
joao@NOSPAMvt.edu or at (540) 808 8740. You can find more information about my study on my personal website at
www.mil-homens.com including the interview protocol and questionnaire, and the contacts of my research advisors. Participants will receive an electronic copy of the final report once it is completed. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Joao
