LEARNING OUTCOMES
This course has two major purposes. One is to provide an overview of the fundamental themes in research on strategy, venturing, operations, and organizations, and introduce contemporary topics within these areas. The other purpose is to expose the participants to the various methodological and research practice approaches (conducting research, synthesizing, and setting up manuscripts) in this domain. Overall, after the course, the students should have a broad understanding of the research areas in strategy, venturing, operations, and organizations and what is required for publishing research in top-tier journals in these areas. More specifically, after the course, the participant should (1) know the most important articles and in the area of strategy, venturing, and organizations (2) understand how the different streams of research have evolved over time and how they are connected to each other, and (3) be able to project the future development of the research from the perspective of one's own doctoral work. The course will further provide a setting for developing a variety of skills in research on strategy, venturing and organizations such as synthesizing research, research designs, and what constitutes a theoretical contribution in the various domains of strategy, venturing, operations, and organizations.
