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:

Multi-Perspective Approach, Palgrave Macmillan, 3rd
edition
Assessment: 10% Participation: Students are expected to have read the required reading for each
theory and actively participate in the seminar`s discussion
30% Presentation of one theoretical perspective: Students are expected to present
one of the theoretical perspectives discussed based on the required reading
60% Research paper (individual assignment)

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).
The course will consist of lectures and computer labs. The lectures will introduce the
theoretical concepts behind the models mentioned above. During the computer labs,
students will apply the theoretical concepts to real data using Stata. A brief

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.
