Inhoud

This course provides an introduction to research methodology. Different aspects of scientific research in the domains of business and management are covered. We consider both the research process and research methods.

In a step-by-step approach we guide the student through the different stages of a research process. Students are introduced in the consultation, reading and processing of scientific literature with particular attention for the practices of correct referencing and citing. Next the formulation of the research problem and the research questions is addressed. Via an introduction in a spectrum of research methods for business and management, the students are prepared to independently compile a research design and to plan a research project. Attention is also attributed to the written and oral presentation of scientific research.
