competencies/skills:

In the course "Empirical Management Research," students gain applied knowledge on pertinent research design (e.g., survey design) and analytical methods (e.g., regression analysis) used in social sciences. They understand how managers can use these methods for decision-making. Participants acquire the skills to decide on the appropriate analytical method for a specific managerial problem at hand, to apply these methods in an accurate manner, and to interpret the results in a logical way in order to solve the managerial problem.

The adjunct tutorial contributes to achieving these learning outcomes. Students develop a deeper understanding of the knowledge taught in the lecture. The participants acquire the ability to transfer lecture contents to real-world problems. As such, students are able to confidently apply the analytical methods taught and to calculate them by using the statistic software SPSS. Upon completion of the course, participants will have acquired theoretical and applied method competencies in social sciences.
