Prerequisites
This PhD seminar is for PhD students/participants (regular and industrial) primarily in business, organization, marketing, and management studies. However, students from other social science disciplines may also find this course relevant for developing a qualitative research approach. The two instructors bring with them extensive experiences with social science theories and how to extract relevant data using a range of qualitative methods, such as case-studies and semi-structured in-depth interviews. Both instructors have published in leading international academic journals.
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 assumptions, that is, by systematically generating and analyzing data and applying existing socio-cultural theorical frameworks new insights can be uncovered to how individuals make sense of self and others, and consequently act within social systems. Since both research methods and social science theories are informed by underlying philosophical perspectives, this course will first introduce these perspectives.
Students will then be introduced to various theoretical orientations within the interpretive paradigm and how each is built upon certain epistemological assumptions including the construction of meaning and the representation of reality/ies. We will cover various qualitative approaches (e.g., grounded theory, action research, case studies, ZMET) and discuss their pros and cons given your particular research question. Whereas the case studies and participant observations represent a holistic approach, the ZMET semi-structured in-depth interview surfaces subconscious mindsets (mental models) that inform and motivate consumer sensemaking of a given topic of interest within a given group or subculture of people under study.
Aim
Qualitative methods provide the opportunity to gain new insights into exploring drivers of behavior which might lead to new theoretical insights. As part of the course students will be introduced to how data can be analyzed through grounded theory (coding), which is a general method that identifies codes and constructs through a comparative analysis of qualitative data. The idea of the grounded theory is to code the text and extract themes that point to the influence of deep- seated socio-cultural models, propositions, and assumptions. The approach is primarily inductive, i.e., an exploration of topics pertaining to broader socio-cultural theoretical issues/dilemmas. The insights from qualitative research can, in addition to theory building, also be used to establish new hypotheses that can be tested quantitatively (surveys, experimentally etc.). As such, quantitatively oriented students might also benefit from this course.
The qualitative data analysis is supported by different software packages (e.g., NVivo, Nudist, Atlas.ti, MAXQDA). Only Atlas.ti will be covered at a more general level. It is possible to download and install a training version of the software program Atlas.ti 9.0 and Atlast.ti Cloud at a discounted rate on your laptop computer. Link: https://atlasti.com/students/ Also, you can consult online tutorials for a more detailed coverage- see below links. The course represents a doctorate workshop. Throughout the course, initiatives, creativity, and critical thinking on part of the students will be appreciated and encouraged.
Course content
This year’s (2023) course at CBS will be in person. You will be notified in case we have to convert to either a hybrid or online course due to imposed Covid-19 restrictions. The course requires preparation by students before each session as well as interaction with one or two other students in preparation for the course (a small presentation of an article--also, see below). Students are encouraged to debate their particular views, methodological problems, and research issues.

The course requires preparation by students before each session as well as interaction with one or two other students in preparation for the course (a small presentation of an article--also, see below). Students are encouraged to debate their particular views, methodological problems, and research issues.
In order to get a certificate with full ECTS from the Copenhagen Business School you have to pass the following three activities:
1. A short research proposal. Here, you formulate a research problem of your choice (preferably from your own research field, and one you envision using for your PhD), its contribution (relevance), theoretical framework, and the research design (method to collect and analyze data). It should be three to five pages (single line-space). You should send us your research proposal latest a week prior to the course start. You will present and discuss this proposal in the course with an instructor and a smaller group of students. Within two weeks after the course ends, you submit an updated version of your proposal based on feedback from the discussion as well as general insights and knowledge acquired during the course to the course coordinator. This will then be submitted for review to one of your fellow students (see bullet point 3).
2. There will be a class-based activity that includes hands-on interviews practices. In preparation for this activity and prior to the course, each students identifies a topic of interest he/she would like to explore further during the course. This topic is then send to another participant before course start, who prepares to be interviewed (following the ZMET instructions which will be provided). The ZMET semi-structured interview techniques are developed by Zaltman (professor emeritus at Harvard Business School) and are probably one of the most sophisticated and useful one, and are used both in the industry and by leading qualitative researchers. The ZMET processes are described in details in a paper by Zaltman and Coulter 1996 (which is part of the required readings).
3. Each participant will do a review of another PhD student’s research proposal. In order to learn from each other, each participant will also write a constructive review (approx. 1-2 pages long) of a fellow PhD participant’s updated research proposal which is turned in two weeks after it is received (i.e., hand-in is approx. four weeks after the course ends). We will provide additional information about how to write a constructive review. As part of your review you are encouraged to take the self-guided free review course provided by leading editors in our field at: https://researcheracademy.elsevier.com/navigating-peer-review/certified-peer-reviewer-course .
Teaching style
We will cover core material in lectures and entice students to discuss core issues. Student will present their own research as well as provide feedback to other students’ research proposals. We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen. You are required to be present for all seminar sessions and participate actively throughout, including discussing existing assumptions/theories/ methods and presenting your own thoughts and work in class.
