Dear colleagues,
The German Graduate School of Management and Law (GGS), based in Heilbronn, Germany, organizes a series of seminars called Methods in Business Research. The next seminar, entitled Reading, Doing & Publishing Research in Strategy & Management, will take place from April 4-7, 2016, and will be lectured by Professor Ann Langley (HEC Montréal).
This seminar is intended for doctoral students and post docs in the field of strategy and management who are interested in improving their research skills. The title of the course expresses its three main objectives and components which are summarized below:
Reading: At the end of the seminar, students should be able to competently evaluate research articles in strategy and management that use a wide range of methodological approaches. To achieve this, the seminar will be structured to incorporate readings using a different methodological approach at each session (e.g., questionnaires, secondary data bases, typological analysis, experiments, ethnography, histories, case studies, etc.).
Doing: At the end of the seminar, participants should have a practical feel for the requirements of different types of methods in strategy and management through the participation in certain mini-exercises that will be presented to other members of the class. These may include documentary search, data collection, data base construction and qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
Publishing: At the end of the seminar, students should have greater awareness of the requirements for publishing articles in various types of outlets in the strategy and management field. Part of the seminar will therefore be devoted to examining the various journals in the field and discussing the publication process. During the seminar, all participants will be asked to submit an article (as single author or as co-author) based on their previous or current work. This submission could be to a journal or to a conference (Academy of Management, AIMS, SMS). Students will be encouraged to collaborate with others participating in the seminar (co-signing articles where appropriate) in order to improve the quality of their contributions. Time will be allowed to discuss evolving submissions.
Interested candidates are asked to send their application, including a short letter of motivation, no later than January 31, 2016. Applications should be sent by email to researchmethods@ggs.de. Candidates will be informed of the decision regarding their acceptance until February 15. The number of participants is limited to 20 students. The course fee of 300 Euros includes registration, tuition, coffee breaks and drinks as well as lunch.
