Additionally, knowledge is constantly evolving, with new studies questioning and adding to prior knowledge.
DRL030 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.
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.
Topics
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.
