Learning objectives

The course “Qualitative Research Methods” presents worldviews and paradigms that display fundamental ideas about life and society (e.g. Social constructionist research, Interpretative research, Critical studies, Historiography). Further, it presents some popular theories in social sciences (e.g. Foucault’s governmentality framework; Searle’s theory of institutional reality, Schatzki’s practice theory) and how these theories and related methodologies are coherently applied in qualitative accounting and management research. Finally, the course focuses upon qualitative data collection and analysis, with the following focus: i) Case study approach, grounded theory method (GTM), with specific reference to Gioia method; ii) interviews, focus groups, qualitative coding and content analysis; iii) Critical discourse analysis, action research, participant observation and ethnography; iv) Abductive reasoning approach.

Prerequisites and basic notions

None.
