Refresher Course Research Methods in Arusha
Published on 22nd Mar 2010
In February 2010 a Refresher Course on Research Methods
was organized for the DBA students of the Round Table Africa Program. Twenty
students from Southern and Eastern African countries came to ESAMI Business
School in Arusha (Tanzania) to follow the training workshop which was taught by
Prof. Robert Goedegebuure and Jakomijn van Wijk. The students who already
successfully defended their MPhil thesis or are about to do so were invited to
refresh their knowledge on quantitative and qualitative research techniques.
Besides lectures and group assignments, individual meetings were arranged to
further discuss the research proposals in detail. This was an enjoyable and
fruitful week in which students working on similar topics or adopting similar
research strategies intensively exchanged ideas, knowledge and literature. The
workshop thus allowed the DBA students to reflect on their methodology and
sharpen and adjust their research proposals accordingly. The defense of the
MPhil theses is scheduled for June 2010.
