Description:
Doing more interesting and influential research
Professor Jorgen Sandberg - Professor of Organization Studies at the Warwick Business School and Professor in Management and Organization in the UQ Business School at the University of Queensland, Australia.
As researchers, most of us want to produce interesting and influential ideas and theories. Interesting research is beyond the diligent reporting of empirical findings and the validation of established knowledge. Problematization as a methodology for theory development enables the researcher to identify, articulate and challenge different types of assumptions underlying existing literature and, based on that, to formulate research questions that may facilitate the development of more innovative, influential and relevant theories.
The purpose of this workshop
The overall purpose of the workshop is to provide an opportunity to enhance your ability to develop more interesting, influential and citable research ideas and, thus, to increase the chances of getting published in top-tier journals in our field. More specifically, we will in the workshop discuss the mechanism behind problematization, as well as actively work with your own research, trying to make it more interesting and influential through problematization. The main focus in the workshop, therefore, is how to develop interesting ideas and research questions, rather than specific techniques for writing journal articles.
