Course content

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 thesis efforts in second year.
