Learning goal and objectives:

Business-to-business (B2B) markets form a cornerstone of the Finnish as well as many European economies, making industrial marketing a crucial field of research. This course provides an understanding on the most vital streams of B2B research relating to the concepts of value, service, networks and strategy. It gives an overview of the dominant research paradigms, key theories, publishing opportunities and future development trends in the study field supporting doctoral candidates in publishing their research and developing their academic career.
 

Learning objectives of the course are: 1) to deepen candidate’s knowledge of the selected concepts and theories, 2) to enhance one’s ability to identify different paradigms and their requirements for research and 3) to develop one’s skills in applying learned knowledge in one’s own thesis project.  In addition, as a cooperative effort by EIASM and KATAJA, the course will provide excellent opportunities for personal networkings with international faculty members and fellow candidates.

The course is targeted to doctoral candidates in marketing, supply chain management, strategy, and international business, who have an interest in B2B topics. The targeted but also maximum number of participants is 25.
