To achieve the grade 12, students
should meet the following learning objectives with no or only minor
mistakes or errors:
- Define a complex organizational problem and explain how it can
be examined through a coherent research design
- justify the choice of empirical setting, data sources and
methods for data collection and analysis, acknowledging their
benefits and limitations
- connect the problem definition and the empirical findings with
relevant theoretical approaches from previous SOL coursework
- explain the main findings of the study and critically reflect
on how the study and the project report could be improved
- articulate strategic recommendations based on the findings and
provide support for their feasibility

| Course content and
structure |
|
The course aims to serve as an integrator of knowledge and
insights from all SOL mandatory courses and their application to
concrete situations from practice, collecting and analyzing data,
as well as discussing implications, recommendations, and
limitations. An additional, equally important agenda, is to raise
the students’ appetite for and provide them with experience in
conducting research that could subsequently support their
their Master thesis efforts.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The course aims at helping students
develop knowledge and practical skills that are needed for
designing, conducting and delivering a Master level research-based
project on topics and situations related to strategy, organization,
and leadership. To assist students in reaching critical milestones
in the project’s development, it is organized in four modules.
These modules focus on key stages in students’ work on the project,
e.g.: (1) research design and question; (2) methods for data
collection; (3) methods for data analysis, and (4) reporting
findings. Each module is conducted in an intensive format of class
hours and consists of a lecture that introduces key notions on the
topic, discussion of one or more examples that illustrate how the
topic can be carried forward in practice, a workshop during which
project groups seek to apply the ideas that have been introduced
and discussed to the realities of their projects, and team
presentations on project progress to obtain feedback.
Pre-assignments are non-mandatory; they allow to develop the
project at a steady pace through feedback at critical junctions of
the process. |
