Prerequisites |
||||||
|
The PhD scholar must be be willing to explore the relevance and implications of engaged scholarship on their PhD project. The idea is not to push students into becoming engaged scholars, but to make them reflect upon their role and project from this perspective. The course addresses theoretical and methodological issues particularly relevant for empirical studies or studies that have the ambition to develop theory relevant to practice. The PhD scholar is required to present a short (2- max. 3 pages) written presentation (in English) in which s/he relates the curriculum literature in the course to his or her project. The presentation must include specific references to the literature applied. Deadline for submission of presentations is Tuesday 22 May 2018. The presentations will be used as material for short presentations and discussions during the course. The student must be willing to participate in discussions of other presentations. A precondition for receiving the course diploma is that the PhD scholar attends the whole course. |

Aim |
||||||
| The aim is to raise awareness that scholars from business and/or social sciences have special opportunities to be engaged in the fields that they study and benefit from such engagement in their empirical and theoretical work. | ||||||
Course content |
||||||
|
The course departs from a classic research design and shows how ‘engaged scholarship’ opens a range of new research activities and ways of doing research. The course presents different ways in which students can engage others in conducting their research projects. It particularly shows how dialogue with practitioners and other stakeholders helps scholars define their research problem, build theory, design research, and disseminate research findings in multiple ways. Through conceptual discussions and case-stories the course seeks to motivate and inspire the participants to make their PhD projects even more relevant to practice. To get a sense of the topic take a look at this talk by Andy Van de Ven on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCXMp50zN3o&feature=em-upload_owner Note that the talk is an introduction to a full semester 14-week course on Engaged Scholarship The PhD course at CBS is an abbreviated version of the full course, but that it covers all the crucial parts of building a good research proposal: problem formulation, theory building, research design, and communicating and using research findings The course entails a number of individual and small group exercises, where the participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their PhD project from specific angles relevant to engaged scholarship. Also, the course will be based on blended learning in the sense that the participants have the opportunity to watch video lecture related to the topic of the day before class, leaving more time for discussion and exercises during the course. |

Learning objectives |
||||||
| Organizational theory and practice are often seen as separate endeavors following different methods and producing different types of knowledge. This course shows how practice can inform research in the problems we study, the ways we build our theories and how we communicate our findings. The course focuses on the relationship between theory and practice, research and action. In so doing it explores how research findings and knowledge can be useful for science, practice, and policy. | ||||||
