This course examines complex philosophical and contextual issues related to global leadership. We begin with an examination of this historical influences of certain fundamental epistemic and ontological beliefs of Western, Eastern, African and other cultures. The practice of moral leadership requires attention to particular perspectives of individual leaders and their followers, as well as the various dimensions of culture that inform and influence both the theory and practice of leadership. In this course, we will seek to understand how culture shape moral worldviews and relationships. In addition, we will critically engage with thinkers who offer- individually and collectively- their own normative conceptions for constructing cross-cultural ethics or universal ethics. Finally, students will examine the ways in which leadership theory itself may be epistemically, culturally, ethically and ontologically dependent.

This course is offered as part of the research methods curriculum for the PhD in Organizational Leadership at Eastern University. The intellectual focus of this course is the presentation of statistical models for estimating causal effects of variables. The model of an effect is a conditional mean (though we might imagine other effects). The notion of causality is the effect of one variable on another holding all else constant. This research class provides students the opportunity to examine processes and experiences involved in designing, conducting, and reporting quantitative research studies relevant to selected problems in the social sciences. The course examines experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs using quantitative methods. We examine assessments of reliability and validity, and use of descriptive and inferential data analysis. LEAD 740 is a prerequsite to this course.

This advanced qualitative research seminar provides an opportunity for third-year doctoral students, who have elected qualitative research as their dissertation orientation, to conduct an extensive literature review on their research method, experience the qualitative research process leading to a publishable article, and develop a workable qualitative research design that can become a foundation for their dissertation proposal. For this reason, students are expected to learn independently, evaluate critically reading materials suitable for their dissertation topic, method and design; and explore actively various qualitative data collection and analysis techniques by engaging in practical experiences. Students who elect this course are expected to have a clear idea of their dissertation topic and have selected their research method. LEAD 740 and LEAD 870 are prerequisites to this course.
