For Researchers
A central characteristic of scientific knowledge is that it is based on systematic observations in empirical research studies. This is also true for management/organizational knowledge about human behaviour, which is based on observations from research studies in natural settings and laboratories. To familiarize students with the methods of scientific research studies in management and to provide first-hand experiences with the procedures presented in lectures, MOS 1021 includes a mandatory research experience component. This research experience component requires students to earn three research credits.
Research credits can be earned by (a) participating in research studies and (b) completing article reviews. Students can complete any combination of research studies and article reviews to earn their three research credits.
Students who fail to earn three credits by 4:00pm on the last day of classes in the term will have two percentage points deducted from their final grades for each credit that they fail to earn (for a maximum possible deduction of six percentage points from their final grade).
For example, a student who earned a grade of 60% in the course but completed none of the research credits would finish the course with a grade of 54%.
Students who sign up for a study but fail to attend the study at the required time on two occasions will have no further opportunity to participate in a research study. Instead, the students must complete the article review option or receive a deduction to their grade (2 percentage points per credit missed).
Researcher access to the DAN Management Research Participation Pool is limited to full-time faculty from DAN MOS and their students.
