Företagsekonomiska forskningsmetoder

Kursen bygger främst på inläsning av litteratur, diskussionsseminarier, och skrivuppgifter. Kursen inleds med en genomgång av olika filosofiska grunder som påverkar val av ansatser i ett forskningsprojekt, och följs av en översyn av vanliga metoder för att samla, analysera, presentera och kvalitetssäkra data i olika ansatser. Med utgångspunkt i en medvetenhet om att metod innebär ett antal subjektiva och/eller filosofiska val, möter studenten i nästa del av kursen ett antal moduler där olika teman behandlas (se nedan).


Kursen innehåller följande teman:



  • forskarens roll



  • delar och presentation av en akademisk studie ("logical fit" och retorik)



  • relevans, forskningsbidrag och teorins roll



  • olika metoder för att samla data i olika forskningsansatser (till exempel intervjuer, fokusgrupper, frågeformulär, arkiv dokument och experiment)



  • olika metoder för att analysera data (till exempel innehållsanalys, diskursanalys, regressionsanalys, faktoranalys och metaanalys).



  • I den sista delen av kursen ska deltagarna individuellt formulera ett förslag till ett genomförbart forskningsprojekt. Förslaget ska innehålla en välutvecklad design och visa ett kritiskt reflektivt förhållningsätt.
