cii at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich for “Forschungsmethoden der Wirtschaftsinformatik” Course

(16.10.2024) Three PhD students of the cii research group participated in the “Forschungsmethoden der Wirtschaftsinformatik” course at LMU Munich. The course was open to PhD students from research groups affiliated with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) Munich, and the University of the Bundeswehr Munich.

For the first time, three PhD students of the cii research group were invited to join a course on “Forschungsmethoden der Wirtschaftsinformatik.” The course was hosted by LMU Munich, and (early-stage) PhD students from TUM (including TUM Campus Heilbronn), LMU Munich, and the University of the Bundeswehr Munich took the opportunity to broaden their methodological knowledge.

Lecturers from all three universities and the University of Passau introduced the doctoral students to the research methods they excel in. The course offered a broad overview of the manifold methods used in information systems research, including qualitative methods (e.g., Grounded Theory Methodology), quantitative methods (e.g., Difference-in-Differences Quasi Experiments), and design-oriented methods (e.g., Design Science Research). Therefore, the course is well-suited for early-stage PhD students or those who want to enhance their methods portfolio.

Besides that, the course offered a perfect opportunity for networking among PhD students beyond the topics and participants of the course.
