Kuvaus
When you have read your course books, journal articles, browsed consultant reports, or research summarized in newspapers, have you ever wondered what those are based on? What is the actual evidence and reasoning backing up the frameworks and management truths that are part of your studies? This course is mainly about the evaluation of arguments and the credibility of empirical evidence. During the course, we teach you the basics of evaluating empirical evidence, which aspects you should pay attention to when analyzing the research report’s credibility, and, most importantly, why you should do so.
