364-1110-00LFoundations of Innovation StudiesW3 KP2GS. Brusoni, D. Laureiro Martinez
KurzbeschreibungThis course will introduce some of the major theoretical threads and controversies in the broad field of innovation. During the first part of the course, the emphasis will be on the evolution of innovation studies. The final part of the course will focus on one of the directions in which those studies have evolved: the field of managerial cognition.
LernzielStudents will learn about various perspectives, examine different methodologies, explore some original empirical research, make connections between theory and empirical research, and practice reviewing and identifying insight in research.

1) Be able to display some knowledge on a few major theoretical streams in the area.
2) Be familiar with the methods, issues and current gaps in the area.
3) Have practiced skills in finding insight and reviewing the literature.
4) Have practiced skills in defining research problems and proposing empirical research in this area.
364-0553-00LInnovation in Digital Space Belegung eingeschränkt - Details anzeigen
Findet dieses Semester nicht statt.
W1 KP1GG. von Krogh
KurzbeschreibungThe purpose of this course is to review and discuss issues in current theory and research relevant to innovation in the digital space.
LernzielThrough in-depth analysis of published work, doctoral candidates will identify and appraise theoretical and empirical studies, formulate research questions, and improve the positioning of their own research within the academic debate.
InhaltThe Internet has a twofold impact on the way individuals and firms innovate. First, firms increasingly draw on digital technology to access and capture innovation-relevant knowledge in their environment. Second, individuals, firms, and other organizations extensively utilize the Internet to create, diffuse, and commercialize new digital products and services. During the past decade, theory and research on innovation in the digital space has flourished and generated extensive insights of relevance to both academia and management practice. This has brought us better understanding of working models, and some fundamental reasons for innovation success or failure. A host of new models and research designs have been created to explore the innovation in the digital space, but these have also brought out many open research questions. We will review some of the existing streams of work, and in the process explore a new research agenda.

Format:
The course is organized in one block of 2 days. The course is a combination of pre-readings, presentations by faculty and students, and discussions. The students prepare presentations of papers in order to facilitate analysis and discussion.

364-1140-00LHacking for Social Sciences - An Applied Guide to Programming with Data Information Belegung eingeschränkt - Details anzeigen
Basic experience with either R or Python, e.g., a stats course that was taught using R.
W3 KP2VM. Bannert
KurzbeschreibungThe vast majority of data has been created within the last decade. As a result, more and more fields of research start to consider and embrace programming to process and analyse data. This course teaches applied programming with data and aims to leverage the open source tech stack to deal with this new wealth and complexity of data.
LernzielThe idea behind Hacking for Social Sciences is build a solid understanding of core technologies and concepts to help researchers develop a data processing strategy and increase your possibilities when working with data. The course approach is to single out those concepts stemming from software development that are easy to adopt and useful to social scientists. The course has three major learning objectives:

- Understand the role of focal components in a data science tech toolbox.
Learn how technologies like R, Python, Git Version Control, docker or Cloud Computing could play together in your research project.
- Learn how to manage and version control source code.
Hacking for Social Sciences teaches how to use git version control to collaborate professionally, make your research reproducible and your code base persistent.
- Applied data sourcing and data transformation
Learn how to communicate with SQL databases. Learn how to consume data from different sources using machine to machine communication interfaces (APIs) such as the OpenStreetMap geocoding API / Routing Engine or the KOF data API for macroeconomic time series.

Non-Goals:
Hacking for Social Sciences is not a Statistics, Econometrics or Machine Learning course. Though experience in these fields will help inasmuch that students will have an easier time to motivate investing in programming and to come up with their own application examples, profound methodological knowledge is not a prerequisite.
InhaltHacking for Social Scientists is a guide to programming with data. It is tailored to the needs of a field in which scholars’ typical curricula do not contain a strong programming component. Yet this course argues that what the open source community calls a ‘software carpentry’ level is totally within reach for a quantitative social scientist and well worth the investment: being able to code leverages field specific expertise and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, as source code continues to become an important communication channel.

The course contains three blocks that are mostly based on the three learning objectives presented above. Hacking for Social Sciences explicitly plans to spread its three blocks over 1-2 months to give students the ability to work on applied examples in between sessions in order to get most out of the subsequent session.

The first block demonstrates the components of a modern data science tech stack, classifies technologies and gives a big picture overview: from languages such as R and Python to container technology such as docker. The second block focuses on git version control, the de facto industry standard to manage source code. Version control is not only crucial to knowledge management and reproducible research, but it is also the backbone of collaboration in distributed teams. The third and final block focuses on data themselves
and teaches how to obtain data through machine to machine communication. Furthermore, the third block discusses data management in a research project.

364-1013-02LPerspectives on Organizational KnowledgeW1 KP1GZ. Erden Özkol
KurzbeschreibungThis module aims to introduce major theoretical perspectives on organizational knowledge and to improve the competence of doctoral students to publish in relevant research areas. How knowledge is conceptualized and what aspects of knowledge are being studied depends on the epistemological and ontological assumptions accepted by researchers.
LernzielThis module aims:
· to provide a basic understanding of key theoretical perspectives on organizational knowledge.
· to provide insights on the research questions, methods, findings and implications of the selected papers.
· to build skills in critically analyzing the literature.
· to identify future directions in the area.
InhaltGiven its prominence in the history of organization science, an impressive variety of theories have evolved that deals with organizational epistemology, the way of knowing in the organization (e.g., Brown & Duguid, 1991; Grant, 1996; Kogut & Zander, 1992; Lave & Wenger, 1991; Nonaka, 1994; Spender, 1996; Tsoukas, 1996; von Krogh et al., 1994). In this module, students will learn about various seminal contributions in the area of organizational knowledge and make connections between theory and empirical research, and identify the ongoing trends and future research directions.
Session 1: Knowledge based view of the firm.
Session 2: Knowledge sharing and transfer
Session 3: Social practice view on knowledge and knowing
