Kelemahan Bab 1 dan Bab 2 Thesis
LITERATURE REVIEW: OLD REFERENCES & TAKE HOME MESSAGES
Sharing what I scribbled on a thesis:
Two major weaknesses in the thesis Chapter 1 and 2.
1. Your literature is not up to date.
In chapter 1&2 , many references are old. Most are published before 2012. A few from 2013 and 2014. None in 2015-2017. People can question if your ‘research gap’ is still really a ‘gap’. Could it be that some people have already filled the gap and published something about what you are doing in 2015-2017. If this happens, your problem statement become invalid and the whole research has no contribution.
2. It is commendable that the literature review is already written using the “weaving technique”, putting a lot of your own words in between the various literature, telling a good “story”. However it does not provide a critical analysis of the literature. The literature review still seems disjointed and not directly related to your methodology. The review should be focused with a summary provided at the end of each Section and Chapter. In the summary, answer the “so what” question, and do not forget the “take home message”, You must relate the summary to your work, including choice of methods, equations, criteria, formulae, etc.

The theme of unity of the nation is the interests of all elements of the Indonesian people that consists of many different ethnics and cultures. Indonesian state symbol has motto: diversity in unity. Indomie, one of the biggest company in producing noodles in Indonesia uses the theme of unity in the nation in its television ads, with the diversity of cultural displays. It is interesting that the noodles indeed not from Indonesian culture, but from China.

This research is a qualitative research conducted interviews with 20 students ABFII Perbanas Jakarta, Indonesia, which come from various tribes. This paper describes how consumers understand the cultural meaning of the ads, and the response of consumers who were interviewed stated that the ad appeared to have no effect on the number of their purchases.
