Qualitative Methods (Seminar)

Inhalt: Qualitative research is a research strategy that emphasizes large bodies of unstructured data (textual, graphical, audio, and video data) that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. Despite differences, qualitative research approaches share at least the following two assumptions: (1) by systematically generating and analyzing data new theory can be discovered (inductive view), and (2) this theory stresses the understanding of the socio-economic world through an examination of interpretation of that world by its participants. Since each particular research method is informed by different philosophical traditions, this course will first introduce different perspectives on the socio-economic research process like positivism, interpretativism, realism, and postmodernism. Students will then learn how to set up a qualitative research project using different research design perspective, e.g. a case study approach, an ethnographic study, grounded theory, or a discourse analysis approach. In addition, the course will tackle different qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, including a reflection about practical and ethical considerations. The course is designed for doctoral students and advanced master's students with a strong interest in research. Throughout the course, initiative, creativity, and critical thinking on part of the students will be appreciated and encouraged. The course aims to facilitate students' progress in their thesis project.

Perspectives on Entrepreneurship (Vorlesung/Übung)

Dozent/in: Michael Gielnik, Elke Schüßler

Inhalt: The course covers theories and methods to understand the entrepreneurial process from psychological, organizational, and societal perspectives. Entrepreneurship is a process encompassing opportunity identification, development, and exploitation. The psychological perspective provides insights into individual entrepreneurial success factors. It covers psychological concepts like personal initiative, human capital (prior knowledge and creativity), bricolage, effectuation, action planning, and financial bootstrapping to understand successful action along the entrepreneurial process. The organizational perspective introduces organizational contexts relevant for entrepreneurship such as entrepreneurial ecosystems and networks, as well as various organized spaces and events that foster entrepreneurial activities. An organizational perspective allows discussing the social structures and practices that shape entrepreneurial activities. In addition, it elaborates on the role of intrapreneurship as a driver of change in established organizational settings. The societal perspective introduces different forms of entrepreneurship such as social, institutional or cultural entrepreneurship to shed light on how societal norms and values shape entrepreneurial activities, and how entrepreneurship in turn can address various social challenges. It hereby also sheds light on the political economy and geography of entrepreneurship, which varies across countries and regions.
