COURSE IMPLEMENTATION FOR SPRING 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELLED, DUE TO LOW NUMBER OF ENROLLED STUDENTS.
The course is intended for doctoral students in industrial and information management, and it is open to doctoral students (with some background in industrial or information management) in other fields interested in organization theory. The course will be particularly useful for students who need to explore and decide upon the theoretical framing for their doctoral thesis and/or scientific papers.
