Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is designed to offer students the opportunity to delve into aspects of the research process for the study of International Business (IB) phenomena. It applies elements learned in other courses of the Chair of IB by supporting students to develop a complete piece of work from the initial idea through to a final written report (the Masterarbeit thesis).

The course aims to support students in their process towards the master thesis and helps develop skills on self-directed study. Students will be invited to research analyse a specific area of scholarly interest in the realm of IB. Students will undertake a research project in the area of IB and make appropriate choices of theoretical lenses and research methods. The syllabus covers critical stages of the research project:

• Research question definition
• Specification of research gap
• Literature review
• Theory identification
• Development of conceptual framework
• Structure of the methodology section
• Structure of the thesis
• Writing up the project
