Course Description:      In this course doctoral students will be exposed to the rich ecology of theoretical
                         perspectives in management research. Based on a common vocabulary to facilitate
                         discussion about management theories, students are expected to understand the
                         boundary assumptions and constraints of the theories discussed, the concepts they
                         use and the proposed relations among those concepts. Students should be enabled to
                         select an appropriate theoretical perspective for their own research projects and
                         apply them properly. We will discuss a range of the most crucial theoretical
                         perspectives, including, for example, agency theory and transaction cost economics,
                         industrial organization economics, resource-, knowledge-, and capability based views,
                         as well as institutional and behavioral theory.

 Survey Design & Measurement in Social Science                                   Course No. P.44-f

 Prof. Dr. Sabine Benoit (née Moeller)

Guest Speaker/-s:          None

Contact:                   s.benoit@surrey.ac.uk

ECTS:                      2

Number of Sessions:        5

Language:                  English

Course Description:        Measurement in natural science is often related to objective criteria (e.g.
                           weight, height and length). Social sciences in contrast often aim to measure
                           more abstract (latent) constructs like preferences, attitudes or perceptions.
                           The measurement of such latent constructs is thus not perfect in terms of
                           validity and reliability, but contains error. The aim of this course is to teach
                           students how to undertake studies that include measurement instruments
                           (e.g. an item-battery in a questionnaire) that have low systematic or random
                           error. The second aim of this course is to teach students how to evaluate
                           market research conducted by other authors.

                           Topics that will be covered by this course are the theoretical foundation of
                           conceptualization, operationalization and specification of constructs
                           (classical test theory, item response theory, indexing). Related topics within
                           the course are the set-up of a questionnaire, multi- versus single-item
                           measurement, the wording and order of questions as well as different types
                           of scales. Possible biases of a measurement instrument and methods to
                           decrease them are introduced and discussed (e.g. social desirability bias,
                           single-informant bias, common method bias, non-response bias). Beyond
                           that different methods of pre-testing measurement instruments are covered
                           (e.g. item sorting, index of homogeneity of placement). A further part of the
                           course covers the process of the data collection and within this this issue of
                           response rates and means to enhance them. The last part of the lecture will
                           cover the assessment of the measures (e.g. content, convergent or
                           discriminant validity).

ECTS:                      2

Number of Sessions:        12 x 90 Min.

Course Prerequisites:      None

Language:                  English

Course Description:        This course aims at helping students to implement qualitative research methods
                           within their doctoral research and in constructing their dissertation. The course will
                           be particularly useful for PhD candidates in an early stage to gain an overview of
                           qualitative research methods; however you can also attend if you wish to further
                           elaborate the research design of your on-going qualitative study.

                           The course not only attempts to help PhD candidates in getting to know a ‘toolbox’
                           they can use for writing their dissertation, but also gives some general advice how
                           to avoid possible pitfalls within this process (e.g., with regard to an appropriate
                           project planning). We start by discussing and introducing three elements that are
                           constitutive for research in general (i.e. a research method, a theoretical
                           perspective, and a unit of analysis). Next, we discuss when to use qualitative
                           research methods and how to come up with appropriate samples. The main part of
                           the lecture is focused on data collection techniques. We discuss how to conduct
                           interviews (e.g., word questions in the right way) and observations, and how to take
                           field notes.

                           We also discuss how to analyze qualitative data (e.g., ‘grounded theory’) and how to
                           include it in a case study. Last but not least, we discuss some possible pitfalls that
                           are likely to occur when doing qualitative research in general and when writing
                           research papers that are aimed at being part of a Doctoral Thesis. The lecture is
                           supported by practical exercises and examples.

Introduction:         It is increasingly noted by practitioners and theorists alike that text analysis has
                      emerged as a significant research methodology for any business discipline. Examples
                      are exponentially increasing as more and more information is becoming publically
                      available online and text-based communication (via email, SMS, messaging, blogs
                      and online user generated comments) is becoming the prime channel to exchange
                      information. Forrester Research shows that the market for text analytics has grown
                      to $978 million in 2014 from $499 million in 2011. Similarly the application of text
                      analysis in academic research is increasing across disciplines. Within the big data
                      phenomenon, Text analysis will take on a central role to inform business decision
                      making and facilitate academic research endeavors. Simply put, business research,
                      the methods that surround it, and the inferences derived from it have put business
                      as an academic discipline “on the map.” This has brought forward multiple
                      quantitative and qualitative methods such as preference data collection using
                      conjoint analysis, inferring market structure through multidimensional scaling,
                      inferring market segments through clustering routines or simply understanding the
                      underlying drivers of behaviors. Although these methods are here to stay, the
                      radical changes resulting from the heavy use of text-based communication promise
                      to fundamentally alter the data and collection methods used to perform these
                      methods.

Course Description:   This series of seminars focuses on developing the necessary skills to conduct text
                      analysis, on any form of free, unsolicited, text-based information (e.g. open-end
                      survey responses, emails, social media posts). The seminars will cover what research
                      questions can be studied using text analytics, how to set up a text analysis study,
                      where and how to obtain data which is suitable and various text analytic approaches
                      and methods. We will further cover both bottom-up as well as top-down text
                      analysis techniques and using the software LIWC derive linguistic intensities of text-
                      based concepts. To round it all up the seminars will cover quantitative analysis
EBS Doctoral Summer School 2018vhjgvhjvhjkbbbnbnbnbnb

                         techniques to empirically assess hypotheses using the results of text analysis and
                         explain how to write up the Method section for an A-level Publication.

Learning objectives:     Students taking this summer course will be able to (1) develop an understanding of
                         a wide range of methods used to analyse text based data, (2) be able to select and
                         reason for appropriate methods for a variety of research questions, (3) acquire
                         hands-on experience using the text analysis software LIWC as well as quantitative
                         assessment methods, and (4) apply these skills directly to their own PhD projects.

Required Readings:       Rather than following some textbook, this course will make use of the latest
                         publications in A-level journals across disciplines as well as reports by McKinsey,
                         Nielsen, Deloitte and Capgemini to provide students with a background
                         understanding of text analysis. For each Seminar there are readings suggested.

Software:                LIWC (Available at: http://liwc.net/download.php)

Preparation for the      To get the most out of this course you should attempt to work on a text based
                         dataset that you obtained for one or several of your PhD projects. The course is
course:                  designed so that you can bring your own text based dataset and conduct all
                         exercises directly using your own data. Note that this can be any text dataset,
                         spanning emails, online posts and messages, SMS, official statements, press
                         releases, company releases, survey responses in open text format etc. To ensure
                         you can also conduct quantitative analysis later on it is recommended to also have
                         some sort of outcome measure related to the text documents. So for example the
                         star rating of a customer review or its helpfulness rating on Amazon, a number of
                         views score for press releases, survey responses that are measured in Likert scale
                         format (e.g. satisfaction scores), corporate performance data etc. Should you have
                         no such dataset, or do not think that you can obtain something related through
                         web-scraping (which will be taught in this course) or other means then you will be
                         able to work on the datasets provided as course material instead.

Number of Sessions:           12

Language:                     English

Course Description:           This course is aimed at Ph.D. students who intent to conduct experimental and quasi
                              experimental research in business (e.g., marketing, organizational behavior) and
                              related disciplines (e.g., economics, psychology).

                              Experimental research is a method commonly used within business administration
                              especially for exploring consumer behaviour. Under experimental research a
                              collection of techniques is meant which use different manipulations to test causal
                              relationships. Usually one or more independent variables are manipulated to
                              determine their effect on a dependent variable.

                              The course will give an overview of the basics of experimental research. This includes
                              defining a research problem, transferring this problem into a research hypothesis and
                              developing a suitable experimental design and a suitable sample. The primary
                              objective of the course is to provide students with the concepts and tools needed for
                              collecting and analyzing experimental data. A secondary objective is to provide
                              students with the foundations for the methodological evaluation of other behavioral
                              researchers' work.

                              We will examine experimental designs and analyses from the perspective of an
                              applied behavioral researcher, not from that of a statistician. That is, we will
                              emphasize the actual use of proper data collection procedures and analysis
                              techniques for rigorous (i.e., publishable) theory testing. Although there will be
                              sufficient coverage of statistical concepts (to ensure that the procedures and
                              techniques are applied intelligently), we will not focus on statistical theory per se (as
                              would related courses in a statistics department).

                              In addition to the objectives mentioned above, the course will offer students an
                              opportunity to get started with the use of SPSS, one of the most widely used
                              statistical programming languages for manipulating and analyzing data. While this will
                              not be a course on SPSS itself, students should become comfortable with this
                              platform by the end of the course.

Course Description:     This course will introduce the students to the basic tools required for empirical
                        research. Topics will include estimation and inference in linear regression models. We
                        will cover the classical linear regression model (univariate and multivariate models),
                        as well as instrumental variables. Time permitting, we will have a brief introduction to
                        limited dependent variable models (linear probability models, probit, logit), and to
                        causal inference with quasi-experimental methods (difference-in-difference,
                        regression discontinuity design).

                        The course will consist of lectures and computer labs. The lectures will introduce the
                        theoretical concepts behind the models mentioned above. During the computer labs,
                        students will apply the theoretical concepts to real data using Stata. A brief
                        introduction to Stata will be given.

                        Prerequisites

                        The course requires a basic understanding of statistical concepts. A brief statistics
                        review will be given in the first session.

Most courses have restricted capacity to ascertain quality and enable good discussions and
class participation. Waiting lists will be created as there may be last minute drop outs and
we may be able to fit you in at short notice.
Written assessments, other than final course exams, are due 4 weeks after the end of the
course, unless otherwise arranged with your lecturer. Please make time in your schedule to
allow for the deadlines, especially if you have picked multiple courses. Final course exams
are due for all students at the designated date set by the lecturer. Late submissions cannot
be accepted and will be marked as fail.
Credits are only awarded with a complete attendance record for each course. Attendance
sheets will be provided for you to sign each day, and will be returned to the Office for
Doctoral Studies via the lecturer at the end of the course.
If you fail to attend a course without notifying your lecturer and the Office for Doctoral
Studies, the course will be marked as a fail. If you are unable to attend due to sickness,
please contact us immediately and be prepared to provide a doctor´s note.
If you wish to change your participation in class to “observer” (observers will not be
permitted to the examination) please inform the Office for Doctoral Studies IN ADVANCE of
the course commencing, and change will be made manually.
