Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In this course, students learn to conduct empirical research that builds on knowledge and insights from first year SOL courses and that offers recommendations for organizational practice. With guidance from a supervisor, students develop a business project that includes formulation of a research question, independent literature search, collection and analysis of empirical data, and discussion of the implications of the findings for organizational practice. The course provides students with experience in conducting empirical research that can support their Master's thesis efforts in the second year. |

Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The course consists in a limited number of
classes aimed at supporting students in developing 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, the groups they form receive guidance from a project
supervisor allocated by the course responsible. The students'
groups are expected to work autonomously on the following aspects
of the project: (1) research design and question; (2) literature
search, (3) methods for data collection and analysis; (4) reporting
findings; and (5) implications for practice.
Online learning resources will help students identify strengths/weaknesses in their business projects related to the learning objectives for the course. |
