The course provides an introduction to understanding and doing empirical research with people as the primary source of data in business context. It aims to provide a common working foundation to graduates of various fields which substantially differ in the their research methods curriculum. The course explicitly does not cover econometric research.
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic components of research planning and execution including:
- awareness of the advantages of the scientific method and of the range of research types/traditions,
- ethical issues in research,
- specifying the purpose and focus of a research project, the research question,
- building the theoretical framework based on a critical literature review,
- formulation of hypotheses,
- selecting and specifying an appropriate research design including experimental and correlational designs,
- selecting/developing valid and reliable methods of data collection including interviews, surveys, observations, and psychometric scales,
- sampling,
- elements of quantitative and qualitative data processing and analysis, and
- reporting research.
