This course will provide students with an understanding of process theorizing and different approaches to process research in management and organization studies, allow them to make and justify choices in the design of process research, and to apply qualitative and quantitative methods of process analysis.
Most of the phenomena investigated by management and organization scholars evolve over time. This includes processes at various levels, such as team development, innovation, organizational change, interorganizational collaboration, and institutionalization.
Note: the course has a limitation of registrations

Course Description
Most of the phenomena investigated by management and organization scholars evolve over time. This includes processes at various levels, such as team development, innovation, organizational change, interorganizational collaboration, and institutionalization. Process research methods have been developed to capture the dynamics of how such phenomena unfold over time, without reducing them to dependent or independent variables.
This course provides an introduction to these process research methods. It provides the philosophical and theoretical background to process thinking, methods for collecting process data, and qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing process data.
The course has a maximum of 25 applicants, which has already been reached. Interested candidates will be put on a waiting list. Register for this waiting list by using the blue button at the top of this page.
