1.__Exploration of the current literatures on globalization and development, alternative development approaches and systems of interaction, and stove efficiency and dissemination__. In order to ensure that arguments and conclusions are properly supported and defined, an intensive review of the literature will be required. This review will attempt to ensure that overall conclusions this proposed project hopes to make have not already been widely developed and accepted though other professionals who have also contributed to this field of research. This is necessary because of the vast amount of literature on the subject. Reviewing all of this information will also provide direction for the research questions of this project by providing necessary context.

2. __Analysis of work already done researching sustainable practice on the stove efficiency and institutional dissemination and how the affects the effectiveness of resource transfers__. This avenue of research is different from the first one because of the nature of the work. The resource in question was based on the analysis of companies and their products. The goal was to pick a product that fit the criteria of sustainable by design given the goals behind offering such a product. From that point, at least two primary providers would be examined to determine which one used more sustainable practices and what would be needed to improve the process in the future. The product and companies were examined at length by considering, the social issues, stakeholders, feasibility, longevity, system of dissemination, and the function of the technology. This focused approach to examining actual business practice provided insight into the reasoning behind the spread and effectiveness of stove technology in a bibliographic form that could act as a public resource. This will be invaluable in developing interview questions and real world examples that claims will eventually be based off of.

3. __Email surveys of professionals in the fields relating to the clean cook stoves movement__. There will be 20 interviews emailed to professionals that have experience in the clean cook stove movement based on either regions that are targeted for clean stove dissemination or the types of institutions attempting dissemination. The will be asked a series of questions based off of the research hierarchy developed in section b below. Emails have been chosen instead of oral interviews because of possible language issues and because the goal is to get an in depth response and it will allow for everyone involved to benefit from time management. If follow up questions are needed then they will be posted directly below the responses so that there is a full transcript of everything that has transpired in a logical format.
