Philosophy of Science in Business

1.5 units · Graduate

The seminar deals with the fundamentals of the scientific process. While broad in scope, covering general scientific principles, it is designed for PhD students in strategy and international business. We review the scientific role of theory, addressing what a theory is, why a 'view' is not a theory, and how theories may be embedded in time, place, context, and discipline. Prereq: Enrollment in Fisher College of Business PhD program; or permission of instructor. Repeatable to a maximum of 3 cr hrs.
