Calling all PhD students and management researchers: join an interactive, meta-theoretical seminar that critically examines the research logics of selected macro-level theories (Upper Echelons, Institutional Theory, Resource-Based View), micro-level theories (Goal-Setting, Leadership Styles, HRM practices), and the contrasting worldviews that shape evidence-based management and integrative reviews. Unlike an introductory overview, this course interrogates causality, meaning, and the implicit assumptions behind management theories, drawing on diverse scholars from Locke and Rousseau to Alvesson and Cornelissen. Designed for first- and second-year doctoral students (and valuable for later-stage candidates), the seminar is taught in a highly interactive format—pre-readings, plenary and small-group discussions, presentations—and is delivered via Zoom with all recordings and materials available for 30 days; an expert-moderated Q&A forum is open for the same period. Participants receive a certificate of completion (ECTS equivalents shown where applicable).
