When I started my PhD program I was full of enthusiasm for high pitched topics in logistics. Especially fields with direct impact on daily life of people in my country. Probably I was not a person of patriotic feelings but I strongly believed that earning a PhD is not just a way I should pass to reach my personal goals, it means more. When someone wants to put 4-5 years of her life on a project it should worth to it. By the way I tried to catch a topic in clean production or green logistics. BUT after a while I found that if I start this topic I would never ever finish my PhD in a developing country (where I was).
Achieving green logistics and clean production is more being achievement of a new ideology rather than a new knowledge. If companies do not think green, any effort in this way would end to a tragedy of serious fraud.
When I came to this conclusion I started my work on another topic which was aimed to solve another problem in my country but after 2 years I absolutely understand what Dr. Hesabi said: "third world is where you are gonna destroy your life if you want to build your country; and you will destroy your country to build your own life".
