MAN 805 Applied Methods in Management Research
This module offers an overview of the statistical procedures and methods that are relevant in management research. After having gained a broad understanding of the methods that are important in the respective literatures, students integrate this knowledge by examining some exemplary research studies for each method and by asking how they would go about in conducting their own research in this field. Students apply their knowledge from the seminar presentations in several exercises.
In particular, the course covers the following topics:
- Moderation and Mediation
- Control Variables
- Scales and scale analysis
- Common Method Variance
- Hypothesis testing
- Outliers
- Multicollinearity
- Missing data
- Multilevel modelling
Learning outcomes: By the end of the module students will be able to:
- Identify issues and problems in quantitative management research
- Perform statistical analyses in selected areas (e.g., multilevel modeling and scale analysis)
- Design quantitative research projects that consider contemporary standards and suggestions in management research
- Learn how to address methodological issues in research papers
