This is a generic, 5 ECTS PhD course. It acquaints Doctoral Candidates with the process of theorizing and theory building in management research. We start from the premise that it is critical for PhD students to master the process of theorizing and theory development from the extant knowledge and empirical data quite early in their Doctoral studies.
By the end of the course the Doctoral Candidates will have gained skills and knowledge in (a) gaining sensitivity to theoretical development during the literature review and data collection processes, and (b) analyzing and theorizing from extant knowledge and qualitative data.
The Doctoral Candidates will have the opportunity to meet scholars and practitioners who are invited as guest lecturers to share their knowledge and experience in theory building.
