Formation/Cours

At the end of the course, participants would be able to:
– formulate research proposals,
– build conceptual frameworks,
– identify assumptions and formulation of hypotheses,
– design and apply appropriate research methods, both qualitative and quantitative,
– analyze empirical results

This is an extensive research based course. Students will be expected to search relevant information in academic journals and learn basic knowledge of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Specifically, the course will cover:

An introduction to the purpose of research and searching relevant literature.

An introduction to QUALITATIVE research methods; a guide to data collection and analysis, and qualitative coding and interpreting qualitative data.

An introduction to QUANTITATIVE research methodology; a guide to sampling data, review of questionnaire design, and approaches to quantitative data analyses.

The primary objective of this course is to equip the students with all the information they need to develop research projects through the reading and analysis of scientific papers in the field of negotiation, as well as the leading of a concrete research project from problem definition to methodology design.
