Description

This course is required for all doctoral students in the Ph.D. in Business Administration, Organizations and Social Change (OSC) track. This course complements research methods courses to further develop the abilities of students to evaluate and design social science research on management, organizations and social change for publication in academic journals and other outlets. The core assumption of this class is that research is a craft with rules, norms, and best practices that are not always obvious. The primary goal is to demystify research practice and give students the tools to better connect research methods to contemporary theoretical debates within management and organizational theory, both of which are key to the development of original research projects.

This course is closed for registration.
