The sequence of this course is structured along with the seminar format that will expose the
students to progressive theoretical and empirical developments and proper methodological
perspectives on strategic management and entrepreneurship research. Students will gain a well-developed understanding of strategic management and entrepreneurship phenomena. The course
will commence with a review of the foundations and intellectual legacy of the strategic
management and entrepreneurship field. Next, we will focus on the main questions that define
today's landscape of the fields and critically evaluate how researchers are approaching these
questions.
Furthermore, based on the foundation knowledge received on the contents of strategic management and entrepreneurship literature, students will set the stage by identifying promising research areas that may be of interest to them and also in line with their thesis. In this case, we expected that the students should be able to craft research papers and get them published in top tier journals.
