Application for master seminar in the winter term 2022/2023 [15.06.22]
Seminar "Practice-Inspired Entrepreneurship Research"
Prof. Dr. Andreas Kuckertz and Dr. Leif Brändle offer the following seminar for master level students in the winter term 2022/23. Applications are now open and students may apply for the seminar here.
Topic
Practice-Inspired Entrepreneurship Research
Entrepreneurship is a vibrant research field providing insights to most recent phenomena. However, the discussions in research and practice seem to be hardly connected. Entrepreneurs face multiple challenges in their quest to initiate and grow their ventures.While entrepreneurship research might provide answers on how to solve such challenges, practitioners rarely draw on academic research in their day-to-day business. In order to better connect entrepreneurship research and practice it is necessary to structure academic literature with regard to specific questions that matter to entrepreneurs. One approach to achieve this goal are so-called structured literature reviews (SLRs) (Tranfield et al., 2003). Participants in this class will conduct SLRs based on real challenges of entrepreneurs. Since SLRs are a promising starting point for a thesis, the seminar is particularly interesting for those students who plan to conduct further research on entrepreneurial phenomena in their master's thesis.
