Course Overview
This module deals with the principles, methods, and tools of empirical analysis in business administration. It provides an overview of the key concepts of empirical methods in management research, and introduces selected approaches in greater detail, drawing on real-world examples.
Students will learn to identify suitable approaches to answer business-related questions, as well as to critically assess extant empirical analyses. Students will also learn the principles of various statistical methods. During the tutorials, students will apply these approaches and statistical methods to concrete tasks.
The Institute for Marketing will focus on conducting systematic literature reviews, on collecting primary data through surveys, and on discussing important choices in survey design. Particular focus will be put on the measurement of unobservable concepts (e.g., brand image, customer satisfaction, and service experience), which is of great concern in behavioral research. Students will also gain an overview of fundamental methods for validating and processing corresponding measures in empirical research. Furthermore, students will gain insights into company projects and the Institute’s recent research in the field.
The course language is English.
