Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning
The course consists of readings, presentations, group discussions and two individual assignments. The list of readings covers essential research literature within and at the boundaries of the project business research field. The students read materials assigned to them, and make presentations of those materials according to instructions. The literature content is discussed and debated based on reading them and listening to presentations. While preparing for presentations and participating in discussions in repeated sessions, doctoral students develop their argumentation capability and readiness to defend their views. Individual assignments are used to help doctoral students position their own thesis work within the research field, and evaluate the understanding of the student.
Learning outcomes
The course offers doctoral students an overview of relevant research in project business. The objective is to increase doctoral students’ knowledge about the entire research field and its theoretical and empirical foundations. Both classical and modern sources are covered. Additionally, the objective is to generate discussion and debate on selected sub-fields in project business, develop doctoral students’ own positioning and argumentation within the field, and provoke critical and ambitious review work that would contribute directly to the doctoral students’ own research.
