Specialization Seminar in Management
At the end of the unit, students should be able to:
LG1 Identify research problems that are relevant in different fields of management
LG2 Understand and apply fundamental theory
LG3 Understand prior literature in the field and develop a critical analysis of the state of the art
LG4 Propose a research project that identify research problems and research questions and its contribution to advance knowledge in the field
1. The research process. Developing relevant research topics.
2. Identifying the research problem
3. Using theory to support the research problem
4. Literature review. Instruments to prepare a critical literature review.
5. Development of a research project. Ethics in research.
The course evaluation through the semester is based on scale from 0 to 20 and is obtained as the weighted average of two mandatory elements: an individual written essay (90%) in the area of specialization, and a group exercise with oral presentation in class (10%). The minimum score to pass the course is 10 points. Given the nature and purpose of the curricular unit, there is no final exam for students that do not approve in the above system.
