Language: English

Shortbio:

Prof. Dr. Markus Kreutzer is Dean of EBS Business School since mid-June 2017 and

was Vice Dean Research of EBS BS from February 2016 until July 2017.

Markus Kreutzer holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s

degree of Economics from the University of Passau and a Doctoral Degree from the

University of St. Gallen. In his thesis at the intersection of strategy and corporate

entrepreneurship, he examined how multi-business firms effectively steer and

coordinate different types of strategic initiatives. Prior to joining EBS, he worked as

Assistant Professor of Strategic Management at the Institute of Management at the

University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and as Visiting Professor at the

Entrepreneurship Department of IESE Business School in Spain.

Markus Kreutzer has published his research in leading international (e.g., Academy of

Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Long Range Planning) and

German journals (e.g., Harvard Business Manager). He is active in the scientific

community as reviewer for several leading international journals and conferences

(e.g., Academy of Management, Strategic Management Society) and is editorial board

member of the Journal of Management.

Markus Kreutzer teaches undergraduate, graduate, and PhD courses on strategic and

international management with a focus on inter-organizational strategy-making,

organizational growth, renewal, and adaptation, and business model innovation. He is

also actively involved in several Executive Education programs.

EBS Doctoral Summer School 2018vhjgvhjvhjkbbbnbnbnbnb

Course Description: In this course doctoral students will be exposed to the rich ecology of theoretical

perspectives in management research. Based on a common vocabulary to facilitate

discussion about management theories, students are expected to understand the

boundary assumptions and constraints of the theories discussed, the concepts they

use and the proposed relations among those concepts. Students should be enabled to

select an appropriate theoretical perspective for their own research projects and

apply them properly. We will discuss a range of the most crucial theoretical

perspectives, including, for example, agency theory and transaction cost economics,

industrial organization economics, resource-, knowledge-, and capability based views,

as well as institutional and behavioral theory.

Required Readings: Bacharach, S.B. (1989): Organizational theories: Some criteria for evaluation,

Academy of Management Review, 14: 496-515.

For each theoretical perspective discussed there will be one required reading.

Further Recommended

Readings:

Survey Design & Measurement in Social Science Course No. P.44-f

Prof. Dr. Sabine Benoit (née Moeller)

Guest Speaker/-s: None

Contact: [email protected]

ECTS: 2

Number of Sessions: 5

Language: English

Course Description: Measurement in natural science is often related to objective criteria (e.g.

weight, height and length). Social sciences in contrast often aim to measure

more abstract (latent) constructs like preferences, attitudes or perceptions.

The measurement of such latent constructs is thus not perfect in terms of

validity and reliability, but contains error. The aim of this course is to teach

students how to undertake studies that include measurement instruments

(e.g. an item-battery in a questionnaire) that have low systematic or random

error. The second aim of this course is to teach students how to evaluate

market research conducted by other authors.

Topics that will be covered by this course are the theoretical foundation of

conceptualization, operationalization and specification of constructs

(classical test theory, item response theory, indexing). Related topics within

the course are the set-up of a questionnaire, multi- versus single-item

measurement, the wording and order of questions as well as different types

of scales. Possible biases of a measurement instrument and methods to

decrease them are introduced and discussed (e.g. social desirability bias,

single-informant bias, common method bias, non-response bias). Beyond

that different methods of pre-testing measurement instruments are covered

(e.g. item sorting, index of homogeneity of placement). A further part of the

course covers the process of the data collection and within this this issue of

response rates and means to enhance them. The last part of the lecture will

cover the assessment of the measures (e.g. content, convergent or

discriminant validity).

EBS Doctoral Summer School 2018vhjgvhjvhjkbbbnbnbnbnb

Required Readings: There will be no required readings beforehand. The course is designed as a

starting point for familiarizing with the topics.

Further Recommended

Readings:

Dillman, Don A. (2007), Mail and Internet Surveys: The Tailored Design

Method (2nd edition). New York: Wiley, Part One.

Pedagogy: The course will include interactive discussions and potentially some group

works. Students are welcome to bring their own measurement instruments

(e.g. questionnaires) to class to be discussed.

Assessment: Class participation (20%) and a take-home exam (80%).

Qualitative Research Methods for Doctoral Students Course No.:P.51-f

Prof. Dr. Karin Kreutzer

Contact: [email protected]

ECTS: 2

Number of Sessions: 12 x 90 Min.

Course Prerequisites: None

Language: English

Course Description: This course aims at helping students to implement qualitative research methods

within their doctoral research and in constructing their dissertation. The course will

be particularly useful for PhD candidates in an early stage to gain an overview of

qualitative research methods; however you can also attend if you wish to further

elaborate the research design of your on-going qualitative study.

The course not only attempts to help PhD candidates in getting to know a ‘toolbox’

they can use for writing their dissertation, but also gives some general advice how

to avoid possible pitfalls within this process (e.g., with regard to an appropriate

project planning). We start by discussing and introducing three elements that are

constitutive for research in general (i.e. a research method, a theoretical

perspective, and a unit of analysis). Next, we discuss when to use qualitative

research methods and how to come up with appropriate samples. The main part of

the lecture is focused on data collection techniques. We discuss how to conduct

interviews (e.g., word questions in the right way) and observations, and how to take

field notes.

We also discuss how to analyze qualitative data (e.g., ‘grounded theory’) and how to

include it in a case study. Last but not least, we discuss some possible pitfalls that

are likely to occur when doing qualitative research in general and when writing

research papers that are aimed at being part of a Doctoral Thesis. The lecture is

supported by practical exercises and examples.

- Setting the Context – The Nature of Qualitative Research

- Designing Qualitative Studies

- ’Doing Fieldwork’ – Collecting Qualitative Data

- Analyzing Qualitative Data & Case Study Analysis

- Writing a Thesis – Some Possible Pitfalls

Presentation: Together with a colleague, you will present the qualitative

methodology of a high quality academic paper and critically comment upon it. The

respective articles will be send around by email approx. four weeks before the

course starts.

EBS Doctoral Summer School 2018vhjgvhjvhjkbbbnbnbnbnb

Paper: Write a 5 - 8 pages paper explaining the qualitative methodology of your

dissertation in detail. The paper should be structured like the "methods chapter" in

your dissertation including information about your (potential) research design,

sample and sampling logic, the research setting (short description of the case(s));

and methods of data collection and data analysis you are applying or intending to

apply. Your paper should also contain a reflection on how you are planning to meet

the criteria for good qualitative research. Please cite the relevant literature for the

methods you chose.

Text Analysis Course No. 62-f

Dr. Stephan Ludwig

Guest Speaker/-s: none

Contact: [email protected]

ECTS: 2

Number of Sessions: 12

Language: English

Introduction: It is increasingly noted by practitioners and theorists alike that text analysis has

emerged as a significant research methodology for any business discipline. Examples

are exponentially increasing as more and more information is becoming publically

available online and text-based communication (via email, SMS, messaging, blogs

and online user generated comments) is becoming the prime channel to exchange

information. Forrester Research shows that the market for text analytics has grown

to $978 million in 2014 from $499 million in 2011. Similarly the application of text

analysis in academic research is increasing across disciplines. Within the big data

phenomenon, Text analysis will take on a central role to inform business decision

making and facilitate academic research endeavors. Simply put, business research,

the methods that surround it, and the inferences derived from it have put business

as an academic discipline “on the map.” This has brought forward multiple

quantitative and qualitative methods such as preference data collection using

conjoint analysis, inferring market structure through multidimensional scaling,

inferring market segments through clustering routines or simply understanding the

underlying drivers of behaviors. Although these methods are here to stay, the

radical changes resulting from the heavy use of text-based communication promise

to fundamentally alter the data and collection methods used to perform these

methods.

Course Description: This series of seminars focuses on developing the necessary skills to conduct text

analysis, on any form of free, unsolicited, text-based information (e.g. open-end

survey responses, emails, social media posts). The seminars will cover what research

questions can be studied using text analytics, how to set up a text analysis study,

where and how to obtain data which is suitable and various text analytic approaches

and methods. We will further cover both bottom-up as well as top-down text

analysis techniques and using the software LIWC derive linguistic intensities of text-

based concepts. To round it all up the seminars will cover quantitative analysis

EBS Doctoral Summer School 2018vhjgvhjvhjkbbbnbnbnbnb

techniques to empirically assess hypotheses using the results of text analysis and

explain how to write up the Method section for an A-level Publication.

Learning objectives: Students taking this summer course will be able to (1) develop an understanding of

a wide range of methods used to analyse text based data, (2) be able to select and

reason for appropriate methods for a variety of research questions, (3) acquire

hands-on experience using the text analysis software LIWC as well as quantitative

assessment methods, and (4) apply these skills directly to their own PhD projects.

Required Readings: Rather than following some textbook, this course will make use of the latest

publications in A-level journals across disciplines as well as reports by McKinsey,

Nielsen, Deloitte and Capgemini to provide students with a background

understanding of text analysis. For each Seminar there are readings suggested.

Software: LIWC (Available at: http://liwc.net/download.php)

Preparation for the

course:

To get the most out of this course you should attempt to work on a text based

dataset that you obtained for one or several of your PhD projects. The course is

designed so that you can bring your own text based dataset and conduct all

exercises directly using your own data. Note that this can be any text dataset,

spanning emails, online posts and messages, SMS, official statements, press

releases, company releases, survey responses in open text format etc. To ensure

you can also conduct quantitative analysis later on it is recommended to also have

some sort of outcome measure related to the text documents. So for example the

star rating of a customer review or its helpfulness rating on Amazon, a number of

views score for press releases, survey responses that are measured in Likert scale

format (e.g. satisfaction scores), corporate performance data etc. Should you have

no such dataset, or do not think that you can obtain something related through

web-scraping (which will be taught in this course) or other means then you will be

able to work on the datasets provided as course material instead.

Fundamentals of Experimental Design and Analysis Course No. P.61-f

Prof. Dr. Sven Heidenreich

Guest Speaker/-s: none

Contact: [email protected]

ECTS: 2

Number of Sessions: 12

Language: English

Course Description: This course is aimed at Ph.D. students who intent to conduct experimental and quasi

experimental research in business (e.g., marketing, organizational behavior) and

related disciplines (e.g., economics, psychology).

Experimental research is a method commonly used within business administration

especially for exploring consumer behaviour. Under experimental research a

collection of techniques is meant which use different manipulations to test causal

relationships. Usually one or more independent variables are manipulated to

determine their effect on a dependent variable.

The course will give an overview of the basics of experimental research. This includes

defining a research problem, transferring this problem into a research hypothesis and

developing a suitable experimental design and a suitable sample. The primary

objective of the course is to provide students with the concepts and tools needed for

collecting and analyzing experimental data. A secondary objective is to provide

students with the foundations for the methodological evaluation of other behavioral

researchers' work.

We will examine experimental designs and analyses from the perspective of an

applied behavioral researcher, not from that of a statistician. That is, we will

emphasize the actual use of proper data collection procedures and analysis

techniques for rigorous (i.e., publishable) theory testing. Although there will be

sufficient coverage of statistical concepts (to ensure that the procedures and

techniques are applied intelligently), we will not focus on statistical theory per se (as

would related courses in a statistics department).

In addition to the objectives mentioned above, the course will offer students an

opportunity to get started with the use of SPSS, one of the most widely used

statistical programming languages for manipulating and analyzing data. While this will

not be a course on SPSS itself, students should become comfortable with this

platform by the end of the course.

Introduction to Econometrics Course No. P.57-f

Benjamin Elsner, PhD

Guest Speaker/-s: none

Contact: [email protected]

ECTS: 2

Number of Sessions: 12

Language: English

Course Description:

This course will introduce the students to the basic tools required for empirical

research. Topics will include estimation and inference in linear regression models. We

will cover the classical linear regression model (univariate and multivariate models),

as well as instrumental variables. Time permitting, we will have a brief introduction to

limited dependent variable models (linear probability models, probit, logit), and to

causal inference with quasi-experimental methods (difference-in-difference,

regression discontinuity design).

Most courses have restricted capacity to ascertain quality and enable good discussions and

class participation. Waiting lists will be created as there may be last minute drop outs and

we may be able to fit you in at short notice.

Written assessments, other than final course exams, are due 4 weeks after the end of the

course, unless otherwise arranged with your lecturer. Please make time in your schedule to

allow for the deadlines, especially if you have picked multiple courses. Final course exams

are due for all students at the designated date set by the lecturer. Late submissions cannot

be accepted and will be marked as fail.

Credits are only awarded with a complete attendance record for each course. Attendance

sheets will be provided for you to sign each day, and will be returned to the Office for

Doctoral Studies via the lecturer at the end of the course.

If you fail to attend a course without notifying your lecturer and the Office for Doctoral

Studies, the course will be marked as a fail. If you are unable to attend due to sickness,

please contact us immediately and be prepared to provide a doctor´s note.

If you wish to change your participation in class to “observer” (observers will not be

permitted to the examination) please inform the Office for Doctoral Studies IN ADVANCE of

the course commencing, and change will be made manually.
