The purpose of the course is to enhance and reinforce knowledge and understanding of the various steps in the research process. Hence, students should develop skills needed to formulate research questions, develop a design for answering those questions, and implement and evaluate the research effort. Students will be exposed to a number of research strategies and issues. Although different research strategies will be more relevant to some disciplines than others, a broader view of the research process should enable students to identify strengths and weaknesses of empirical research efforts in various disciplines. Thus, the goal of the course is not only to improve the student´s research skills, but also to become a better consumer of research.

The course introduces different perspectives on the relationship between three domains: the theoretical and the empirical (or observational) domain and reality. Among the issues we address are the following: To what extent do our theories and observations reflect the world we try to describe and understand? What is the interplay between theory and data? Do the methods we apply on empirical observations adequately tell us whether theoretical models reflect the processes and mechanisms we try to understand? Which criteria does research have to satisfy in order to bridge the gaps between our theories and data on one side and reality (or the "world") on the other? In the last part of the course we will apply a set of criteria on research contributions in management and behavioral sciences.

The aim is that students should know and discuss the most common arguments made on the knowledge-theoretical grounding of scientific practice in economics and related fields such as finance and management science. The practice of science is also a social practice and we attempt to turn our social science perspective on this practice. The course also introduces the students to the most relevant topics in the ethics of social science research in our disciplines.

This course introduces students to qualitative methods in the social sciences. The course is intended primarily for PhD students. These methods covers a wide range of approaches that are based on a variety of ontological and epistemological foundations. All imply the collection and analysis of empirical materials expressed in terms other than numbers. In general, enthusiasm for these approaches is based on the fact that they build on human beings´ natural modes of learning by allowing the researcher to observe, listen, exchange, take advantage of natural experiments and interpret in order to better understand phenomena through direct contact with the world. However, while everyday knowledge may remain tacit, scientific research aims to produce explicit knowledge or interpretations. For these to be credible, it becomes necessary to systematize the collection and analysis of information: in other words to have some kind of "method." This course aims to enable participants to learn the elements of choosing appropriate data strategies, organize data for analysis, and use a computer to analyze data that will allow them to undertake quality qualitative research.

In order to turn a research idea into a text which is able to persuade other researchers of the acceptability of the data interpretation and the claims made, it is useful to become consciously aware of the linguistic and argumentative tools available. The course focuses on a number of issues (listed below under Topics) pertaining to the writing process in an academic context. Students will be asked to submit own (short) text for discussion.

Participants will obtain a grounding in the theory and methods of network analysis. Students should be able to design and carry out competent network research studies as well as to be able to interpret network analyses in academic journals. The goal is to develop analytical and methodological skills of the students, so that they can evaluate theories, models, methods, and design research projects and carry out network analysis as a part of their research. The course provides the students with insight into how structural theories in the social sciences have benefitted from social network analysis, and how they can use this methodology in their own research.
