Program Goals 1. Support PhD candidates to create theoretical and practical business knowledge independently

through empirical research.

2. Produce research-oriented scholars who contribute to the economic growth of the UAE.

THE PLOS AND THEIR MAPPING WITH THE QF-EMIRATES

The four PLOs as follows:

1. Acquire advanced knowledge through the understanding of key concepts, theories, and

current issues in the given business domain.

2. Critically review theoretical literature/practical business oriented challenges and develop a

framework for empirical investigation

3. Apply a range of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to develop innovative

solutions of current business oriented challenges

4. Create new knowledge through conceptualizing, designing, and conducting empirical research

Brief Course Description: This course focuses on critical and analytical review of the management theories over the years from pre-

Scientific Management era, to the present day. Students are encouraged to compare and contrast management

theories and to examine them critically in light of their environmental context.

Course Objectives (CO): The focus of this course is the historical development of the management theories from

pre-Scientific Management era, then to Scientific Management, to Administrative Management, to Behavioral

Management and gradually leading up to more contemporary management theories. Week 7 and 8 are devoted

specifically to modern management theories. The listed core reading text (Wren, 2008) provides an exhaustive

survey of literature topics for that week. Student is expected to top this up with his research supplementing this

literature. The additional reference material in the form of a handbook (Armstrong, 2020) guides the student to

more modern approaches.

The course designed in this way to enlighten students on how management theories have evolved, and by providing

the foundation of management thought. Students will understand why management theories in the past differs from

the present, by appreciating the influence of environmental, economic and social factors during each relevant time

period i.e. adopting a contextualized approach. Without this approach there is danger of this course becoming

another management course with n number of branches (recruitment, training, retention, awards, performance

appraisals, motivation and so on) – which it is intended to be avoided.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLO)

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. Analyze the evolution of management theories 2. Compare and evaluate methods of management practices globally, with those in the UAE/GCC 3. Evaluate what impact the culture and the environment has on the development of the management theory. 4. Critique literature with a view to preparing a research design.

13

This Course is Linked to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs):

1. Acquire advanced knowledge through the understanding of key concepts, theories, and current issues in the given business domain.

2. Critically review theoretical literature/practical business-oriented challenges and develop a framework for empirical investigation

3. Apply a range of qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to develop innovative solutions of current business-oriented challenges

Project/Term

Paper

The term paper resembles a very rough working paper

on the student’s Research Proposal, since this is the first

term for the student. This paper will discuss the topic of

the students’ intended research and its relevance in the

GCC context. The paper will also contain a problem

statement, mention the applicable theories and propose

a research design outline. The paper will serve as an

important exercise on how to design a research project.

For those who plan to conduct empirical research in

their dissertations, this paper should ideally form the

basis of their dissertation proposals. For students

intending to do a qualitative research, the term paper

requires a description of the subject matter, problem

statement and issues that will be explored, with the

relevant management theory as a backdrop.

Class Attendance

Attendance and participation in all classes (which are online during the COVID-19 period) are mandatory. This is

essential to the process of education at UD since the students' involvement with their instructors and fellow peers

are vital components of their academic preparation. Absences hinder academic progress, and affects the student’s

learning ability and grades. UD regulations for attendance and absenteeism warnings imposed on all courses are

stipulated in this section as follows:

a) All courses are offered in two consecutive sessions of two hour and twenty minutes each. A 20-minute break is

given after the first session.

b) A faculty member must take attendance in each session.

c) If a student misses more than four sessions out of the 18 sessions in a course for non-acceptable reasons as

deemed by the Instructor, he/ she will receive a grade of “FA” for the course, which counts like a failed course (See

Table 1). The student must then repeat the course in the following term. However, the student shall have the right

to attend the remaining classes of the course. Repeating a course entails a financial charge.

d) A student must work independently to catch up on missed lectures’ material.

Student Academic Integrity (UD Policy 5.18)

The University of Dubai (UD) is keen to ensure a University culture characterized by intellectual and personal

honesty, social integration, ethical behavior, and respect for the rights of the individual. UD also expects its student

to be self-disciplined in both their approach to studying and in their general conduct and behavior.

The Student Code of Conduct is designed to promote this culture at UD and hence sets out the standard of

conduct expected of students. Students who violate these standards will be subjected to disciplinary sanctions,

according to established penalties as stated below. This will help UD to protect the University community by

maintaining order, discipline, and stability on campus. The following sections describe Student Academic

Misconduct, Plagiarism, Violations, and Sanctions.

Students who are registered in this must strictly adhere to this Policy. Failure to do so will subject students to the

sanctions stated here and in accordance to UD Policies and Regulations.

A. Student Academic Misconduct

Student Academic misconduct is an academic violation that covers but not limited to plagiarism, misrepresentation,

fabrication, facilitation, and cheating in exams.

Apart from exam cheating and plagiarism, the decision on whether or not to treat an academic misconduct as a

violation of the Code of Student Conduct, is at the discretion of the instructor.

19

A.1 Plagiarism

Plagiarism refers to representing another person’s words or ideas as one’s own in any academic exercise. The

University of Dubai has zero tolerance towards plagiarism (i.e. any portion of a submitted document that

contains plagiarism will lead to the appropriate penalty). Every academic submission made by a student should

be a work of his own and also not be self-plagiarized. In all cases of plagiarism whether it is blatant or self-

plagiarism, students will be held accountable for violation of academic integrity which also includes a penalty for

their dishonesty.

Types of Plagiarism

• Self: A student’s work reproduced more than once for the same course or for other courses without prior

permission(s) of the instructor(s) involved is an act of plagiarism. Students should be careful when quoting

or paraphrasing (properly citing material).

• Accidental: Every student is required to understand plagiarism as something similar to acts of fraud in the

academic community. For this reason, it is the responsibility of the student to make sure his/her work has

been checked and properly acknowledged.

• Blatant: Student’s work reproduced from a fellow student or any other information source intentionally

without proper acknowledgement is serious act of plagiarism. Students well of blatantly will lead to the

strict penalty that can include non-grading of course work all the way to failing of the course as deemed

by the faculty.

UD uses “Turnitin” software in Moodle to detect extent of similarity (through similarity index). Turnitin is used by

both students and faculty to support in the learning process to understand the usage degree of the cited research

material. The generated origination report from Moodle will support in the process.

For the above objective, Turnitin tool will be used by the faculty for all the graded assignments, exams, projects.

The faculty has the right to make final decision in regard to the students’ grades work in determining the student

work integrity based on the criteria and the faculty awareness of the students work level.

Removal of a Graduate Degree

The Disciplinary Sanction is applied to graduate students when the Master thesis or the PhD. Dissertation is found

to be plagiarized; the Master or Doctoral Degree will be removed from the student.

Students who are registered in this course must strictly adhere to Student Academic Integrity Policy. Failure to

do so will subject students to the sanctions stated in the UD Code of Conduct available at this link:

The University of Dubai (UD) is keen to ensure a University culture characterized by intellectual and personal

honesty, social integration, ethical behavior, and respect for the rights of the individual. UD also expects its student

to be self-disciplined in both their approach to studying and in their general conduct and behavior.

The Student Code of Conduct is designed to promote this culture at UD and hence sets out the standard of

conduct expected of students. Students who violate these standards will be subjected to disciplinary sanctions,

according to established penalties as stated below. This will help UD to protect the University community by

maintaining order, discipline, and stability on campus. The following sections describe Student Academic

Misconduct, Plagiarism, Violations, and Sanctions.

Students who are registered in this must strictly adhere to this Policy. Failure to do so will subject students to the

sanctions stated here and in accordance to UD Policies and Regulations.

A. Student Academic Misconduct

Student Academic misconduct is an academic violation that covers but not limited to plagiarism, misrepresentation, fabrication, facilitation, and cheating in exams. Apart from exam cheating and plagiarism, the decision on whether or not to treat an academic misconduct as a violation of the Code of Student Conduct, is at the discretion of the instructor.

A.1 Plagiarism Plagiarism refers to representing another person’s words or ideas as one’s own in any academic exercise. The


contains plagiarism will lead to the appropriate penalty). Every academic submission made by a student should

be a work of his own and also not be self-plagiarized. In all cases of plagiarism whether it is blatant or self-

plagiarism, students will be held accountable for violation of academic integrity which also includes a penalty for

their dishonesty.

Types of Plagiarism

• Self: A student’s work reproduced more than once for the same course or for other courses without prior permission(s) of the instructor(s) involved is an act of plagiarism. Students should be careful when quoting or paraphrasing (properly citing material).

• Accidental: Every student is required to understand plagiarism as something similar to acts of fraud in the academic community. For this reason, it is the responsibility of the student to make sure his/her work has been checked and properly acknowledged.

• Blatant: Student’s work reproduced from a fellow student or any other information source intentionally without proper acknowledgement is serious act of plagiarism. Students well of blatantly will lead to the strict penalty that can include non-grading of course work all the way to failing of the course as deemed by the faculty.

Context

Course Organization / Assignments

Each class session will typically consist of a number of background and primary readings drawing from contemporary

services marketing literature. Each student is responsible for reading assigned articles. At the begging of each class,

the course instructor will briefly outline the background of the topic to set the stage for discussion of the assigned

articles. For each article, one student will be called upon to assume the role of an advocate, while another student

will play the role of a critic. The specific tasks of each role are as follows: -

Your role as advocate: - Take about 10 – 15 minutes to summarize the contribution embedded in the discussed

article / study. You will point out the positive aspects of what could be learned from the research paper. You are to

articulate your perspective on the motivation of the paper (i.e. Why the topic is important) and the insights that

were provided by the study.

Your role as critic: - Take about 10 – 15 minutes to critically evaluate the article under discussion. Consider the study

rational, its justification & objectives, its design, data analysis and recommendations. If you observe any flaws,

consider the weight of these flaws relative to the benefits of the research contribution and suggest possible ways

136

that the researcher might have taken to avoid any identifiable problems. Point out any questions that were left

unanswered by the study and suggest how future research might approach such questions.

Collective class role: - The class as a whole will be responsible for the general discussion. For this reason, it is essential

that all of you read all of the assigned articles. If you remain silent on article for which you are not either an advocate

or a critic, your class participation will suffer.

Course Assessment Scheme:

Assignment 1: Weekly paper review and critique (30%): This course component relates to the weekly assigned

readings as explained above. Every student is expected to read the assigned articles and come prepared for class

discussion. Class participation will be monitored each class and appropriate marks are assigned for participation in

each class. Due in week 4

Assignment 2: Research proposal Project (30%): By the end of this course, you should be able to “create a research

proposal from the literature review as it pertains to a specific services marketing / management issue in UAE / GCC

context”. In order to satisfy this learning outcome, you are expected to do the following:

• Summarize and categorize the major literature finding as pertaining to your selected study subject.

• Discuss and critically appraise the synergism that can be obtained from considering the aggregate contribution / perspectives of several articles which deal with the selected topic of your proposed study. That is, can we learn more from the body of existing research as a whole than we could learn from a summary of the findings of each article alone?

• Provide your assessment of possible productive avenues for future research in the area.

Note: I have provided as an Appendix A, a workable outline that you might find it useful for summarizing each of

the assigned articles as you prepare for class discussion. Due in week 6

Term Paper (40%): Students enrolled in this course are also expected to develop and submit a term paper addressing

an important / relevant issue in services marketing & management. It should deal with a research question(s) that

is grounded in the relevant literature, motivation for study the question(s), and your proposed research plan for

investigating it. The proposed research plan could take the form of an analytical model with a well specific structure

or an empirical study involving an experiment, quasi-experiment a descriptive study survey, analysis of existing

database, or Meta-analysis. It will be due on the last session of the seminar. Due in week 9.

Term Academic Year


Course Name Financial Market Microstructure

Course Code FIN 740


Co-requisite None


Instructor



The field of market microstructure is concerned with how markets operate and how transaction dynamics

influence security price behavior. Market microstructure has quickly rapidly as an important subfield of

finance. The studies in this are concentrate on the relationships between liquidity, volatility, market

design, price discovery, and ultimately also social welfare. Different models in market microstructure offer

a framework for the investigations of trading volume and price momentums. The course covers the

canonical models in the field of microstructure and how they can be adjusted to investigate the effects of

recent changes in market structures and trading technologies (e.g., high frequency trading). They students

will also learn various relevant econometric models and how they can be applied in practice.

Course Objective (CO):

1. Provide students with a theoretical framework they can apply to help break down and understand the complicated financial markets and microstructure.

2. Provide students with the technical skills necessary for a career in financial markets and microstructure.


Upon completion of this workshop, students should be able to demonstrate the following outcomes:

1. Review and analyze major research ideas in the field of financial markets and microstructure 2. Critique research works in markets and microstructure 3. Evaluate literature on particular topics in Financial markets.
