MBA executive / Management Research Training –
Weekly learning outcomes
What is research?
Upon completion of this week, students will have achieved the following outcomes:
• Analyse the influence of epistemological perspectives on the formulation of management research problems;
To complete this Collaboration:
According to your text, epistemology is a ‘general set of assumptions about the best ways of inquiring into the nature of the world’ (Easterby-Smith, et al., 2012, p.17). Epistemology addresses questions such as:
• What is knowledge?
• How is knowledge acquired?
• How do we know what we know?
• Is it possible to have knowledge at all?
In research, an epistemological stance will influence how you choose a research topic as well as the methodology and methods you use. Review the resources this week to explore the role of epistemology in research.
In a 750-1,000 word response, post your answers to the following questions to the Discussion Board by Friday:
• In what ways does the choice of an epistemological perspective or stance influence the formulation of a management research problem?
Stay very focussed onto the topic as given! And it has to be University level – so not Business School.
