Learning Objectives:
After successful participation in the module, students are able to compile, research and select the scientific literature relevant to a question in the field of entrepreneurship. They are able to derive hypotheses from existing research, to test these hypotheses empirically and to critically reflect on their own contribution to research.


Course Content:
In the first part of the course, basic concepts and methods of entrepreneurship research are taught. This refers in particular to the skills needed to write a scientific essay. Furthermore, students learn how to use the software STATA for quantitative- empirical analyses. In the second part of the course, students apply this knowledge by independently deriving a research question in the field of entrepreneurship and empirically testing related hypotheses. They demonstrate this knowledge by presenting their research question, hypotheses, empirical results and contribution in a presentation and a term paper.
