The Finnish Doctoral Programme in Business Studies

Professor Jorma Larimo (jla@uva.fi) - Programme Coordinator

Professor Hartmut H. Holzmueller, TU Dortmund University, Germany: Culture theory, multi-centric team management, experiences from cross-cultural research, qualitative/ explorative research methodology

Professor Edwin Nijssen, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands: Research designs, use of borrowed scales, experiences from cross-cultural research

Professor Thomas Salzberger, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Austria: Measurement theory, emic and etic methodology, quantitative/ confirmative cross-cultural research

Due to globalization and higher international trade volumes there is an increasing trend in management research to conduct cross-cultural, cross-national and cross-disciplinary studies. Methods and methodology for comparative studies, however, require special knowledge and special skills.

After the course, the participants will be familiar with relevant methodological literature on cross-cultural methods. They will be able to use the literature as a guideline for their own methodological choices. The participants will understand the difficulties but also the opportunities of conducting cross-cultural research. The participants will receive knowledge, understanding and preparedness to independently develop skills in conducing empirical cross-cultural research.

The course provides knowledge in

• designing theory based cross-cultural/ international studies;
• conducting cross-cultural research; quantitative and qualitative cross-cultural comparative methodology;
• doing cross-cultural collaborative research;
• doing research in transitional and developing economies,
• and doing research outside your own home country

Doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers who are conducting or are aiming to conduct comparative cross-national/cultural or international research.
Maximum 25 participants will be accepted to the course.
