DR030 will introduce you to a range of empirical research methodologies, allowing you to develop an understanding of how to use these approaches effectively in supply chain management research, and preparing you to evaluate research done by others. Even if some of these tools may not fit your natural inclinations or may take some effort to nurture, such understanding is crucial as you will often be asked to review manuscripts for your peers, conferences, and journals. You will also be exposed to increasingly sophisticated research design in seminars and presentations. Taking this course should at the very minimum help you become an informed and confident evaluator of others’ designs, even if you may very legitimately choose to not apply many of them yourself.
The course will provide a solid foundation in the basic concepts of design, including types of variables, relationships, sampling and measurement. Our focus will be on exploring key concepts of empirical design. You will have the opportunity to apply your insights to your own research questions so that you can gradually develop hands-on skills for crafting, using, refining, writing and reviewing high quality empirical studies in the supply chain management discipline.
