Research Workshops
Applied Survey Research
This workshop is designed to lay the foundations of good survey-based research in different areas of Business Administration. It aims at familiarizing students with key issues in designing surveys such as sampling, measurement, questionnaire design, and potential validity threats, as well as equipping students with the necessary practical skills to implement and execute surveys efficiently. The emphasis of this course is on best practices, experience-based insights, and practical skills which are not conveyed by conventional textbooks (e.g., platform functionalities, panel providers, measures to ensure high levels of data quality).
Taught at: University of Hamburg, Toulouse School of Management, Koc University
Applied Structural Equation Modeling
This workshop is designed to provide students a basic understanding of structural equation modeling (SEM) and familiarize them with Mplus, the most flexible tool currently available. First, we discuss the peculiarities of SEM relative to other methods with the aim of clarifying under what circumstances the use of SEM makes (little) sense. Next, students learn how to specify, estimate, and interpret measurement models and structural models. The goal is to equip students with a comprehensive “toolbox” that enables them to apply SEM efficiently.
