Course Content
As information systems (IS) researchers, we aim to explore the design, development, use, and impact of information technology to support and improve organizational and societal processes.
In this seminar, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in ongoing research efforts under the guidance of researchers from our group.
You’ll be exposed to one of the various research methods, including experimental studies, surveys, qualitative interviews, case studies, and text mining, and learn how to collect and analyze empirical data through both quantitative and qualitative methods.
By participating in this seminar, you will not only gain valuable experience in IS research, but also have the chance to directly contribute to our group’s research efforts.
Besides the technical research skills, this seminar also develops critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills that are valuable in any career path.
