Current Topics in Strategic Management
Description
Content
The course “Current Topics in Strategic Management” is targeted at Master of Science students with an interest in strategic management research. The course offers a “hands-on” introduction to quantitative empirical research and is aimed to prepare students for writing a master thesis at the ISM. Groups of students will work together to develop their own research project.
During the course, you will learn to identify a research question, gather data appropriate to help answer your question and test concrete hypotheses. Using STATA, you will get an understanding of the basics of data management and regression analysis, including panel data analysis. Students enthusiastic about quantitative academic research are especially invited to attend!
Course structure
The course is offered as a block seminar. We will start with an introductory session, focusing on the development of interesting research questions. In the subsequent research workshop, the “tools” for conducting an empirical study will be practised and discussed. In a final session, students will present their research projects, including their empirical results.
