Merrimack College

Subject:

Description:

In business, research is a fact of life. Decisions made in the absence of solid research are dangerous decisions, often leading to actions that create more problems than solutions. The quality of the research conducted before decision-making, or in the evaluation stage of an ongoing program, can help avoid potentially disastrous consequences. This course introduces and develops qualitative research skills, including how to do "good" research and how to recognize "bad" research in organizational settings. Experiential exercises and a research project will enhance readings, lecture, and class discussion. Prerequisites: BE 223A and BE 225A. Four hours a week.
