Lehrinhalte |
(*)Most graduates of business programs will write their first research paper applying advanced research methods at the end of their Master's program – as part of their Master's thesis. This requires not only subject knowledge, but also self-mastery skills.
Therefore, this course is designed to provide theoretical and methodological support to students developing and writing their Master's thesis. As such, it aims to provide a sustained period of independent study and research with optional supervision support. The subject domains of the seminar focus on management phenomena that are of particular interest to students and draw upon a range of different aspects of the taught program (methodological and theoretical). The course equips students with key research and writing skills and supports them in developing their Master's thesis based on detailed feedback from the course leader and peers. The Master's thesis follows the standard academic pattern of identifying a topic arising from a gap in the literature and developing a methodology to explore this area in depth. This course can be understood as a keystone course that draws together management theory and research.

Beurteilungskriterien |
(*)The assessment focuses on oral presentations and the related documents (slides, commentary) reflecting different stages of the writing and research process, i.e. from crafting the focus of the thesis to the discussion of the main findings.
Units of assessments or combinations of those can include the following:
Presentation on
- The research topic and questions, including their practical relevance, research gap, literature review
- Theoretical underpinning, research model/hypotheses/propositions, proposed methodology
- (Empirical) results, discussion, theoretical and practical implications, outlook and limitations
To account for differences in research approaches across the three Competence Areas the number of presentations on the above-listed content can vary but all together count against 100% of the course mark.
Detailed information regarding the assessment strategy will be announced in the Master's Thesis Seminar.

Lehrmethoden |
(*)The course follows an application-based pedagogical approach by including:
- Interaction
- Individual presentations
- Group discussions
- Feedback.
The course leaders use the latest technology and tools that enhance self-reflection and critical thinking: * The module is designed to develop routines of critical reflection and reflexivity by creating an environment that supports such skills.
- The teaching and learning strategy is designed to develop the students’ ability to conduct and report independent research.
It builds on the other management modules in the programme, allowing students to gain experience of applying some of the principles and methods learned by following a strong ethical conduct.
