Workshop Description
This Teacher Training workshop is to prepare faculty colleagues to teach and promote the Philosophy of Management Research (PMR) course. This PMR course, which has been offered for four years at a few leading business schools in Mainland China and Hong Kong, is to introduce doctoral students to the nature of scientific work in organizations and management. It focuses on a few of the key issues relating to the philosophy of science and the principles of scientific research. These issues play a pivotal role in guiding researchers’ understanding and explanation of important phenomena in our natural and social world. Understanding these issues will help the researchers to gain clarity on the role of scientific research in advancing the practice of management, which plays an important role in linking insight gained from business research and the advancement of humanity. Failing to have a proper understanding of the role of science or of the scientist can impede scientific work, undermine knowledge creation and accumulation, and stall scientific discoveries. The primary purpose of this course is to develop a new generation of social scientists for business schools.

This course has been taught at the Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, Fudan University School of Management, and the Antai School of Management of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2015. To help other business schools to develop and offer this course to their doctoral students, we developed and offered a “Teacher Training” workshop since 2016.

The purpose of this workshop is to train faculty colleagues interested in teaching “Philosophy of Management Research” in their own schools. Also, we welcome faculty members who do not plan to teach the course in the near future but are interested in learning more about the philosophical foundations of our science to join the workshop. Over 40 faculty members from more than 25 leading universities have participated in the workshop in the last three years.  The workshop is a shorter version (4.5-day) of the actual course (which is a ten-session course, for a total of 30 hours). We are calling for applications to the fourth “Teaching Training” workshop in December 2019. The preliminary workshop schedule and syllabus is available here.
