About
The objectives of the Research and Publishing Module are:
- To develop individual faculty research skills
- To produce world-class research publications with new insights for management
- To allow CEEMAN faculty and its member institutions to become even more relevant to their customers by leading the way in understanding customer issues and challenges
The Module relies heavily on individual coaching and field work, and has a preparatory seminar where relevant skills are acquired and the individual research project is refined, and a concluding workshop where final output is polished, shared, and critiqued by peer participants and faculty.
Research topics and issues should be selected by the program participants themselves. They should be highly relevant to students and executives in their institutions' home markets, and completed research projects should have the potential to add real value to the educational process and the state of the art in management and leadership.
Over time, CEEMAN is also interested in developing a portfolio of new research with "critical mass", i.e. a body of new teaching material and publications which can have a global impact on the subject of management and leadership in emerging markets. Subjects such as innovation, internationalization, competition and cooperation among local and multinational firms, responsible and ethical leadership, finance and risk management, and the private sector/public sector interface are expected to figure strongly among the topics and issues chosen.
CEEMAN members have repeatedly pointed out the shortage of first-class, locally produced research which addresses principle customer issues. Participants should direct their main energies towards closing this gap.
Program
The Research and Publishing Module Is structured in three parts:
- 3 days of preparatory seminar
- 5 months of field research and writing with individual distance coaching
- 2 days of concluding workshop
The 3-day preparatory seminar includes: guidelines for defining a relevant research issue; research design and appropriate research methodology; research execution and field work; transferring research results effectively to the classroom; small group critiques of participants' research proposals; and individual mentoring from faculty advisors.
During the 5-month field work and research drafting period, participants carry out field and related research, write research papers, develop proposals on how to integrate their research results into new, research-based, educational material, and submit draft research papers and related educational material to their faculty coaches for review and feedback. Based on faculty feedback, participants refine the outcome of their research effort and develop the respective research-based educational material.
The 2-day concluding workshop includes: presentation of research results in small groups; peer and faculty critique; guidelines on getting research published; individual mentoring; and presentation to peers and faculty of selected research projects ready for publication.
Faculty
A high-profile team of experienced, internationally-renowned professors share their personal experiences and the best practices of their prestigious institutions.
