Research/Teaching Workshops

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for cross postings.

My name is Dev Dutta and I am a tenured Associate professor in Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of New Hampshire, USA. I will be visiting India this summer and am interested to conduct research/teaching excellence workshops as well as visiting faculty opportunities in reputed Indian business schools.

I can organize a couple of workshops for faculty members:

1.       Research Design, Methods, and Academic Publishing in Top Journals

This is a hands-on, 3-day or 5-day workshop, depending on the coverage. The content includes several topics, including the following: (i) The gap between academic research and practice, (ii) Philosophy of science and multiple paradigms of research, (iii) Developing interesting research questions, (iv) What makes for good theory, (v) Conceptual models and hypotheses development, (vi) Constructs, operationalization, and measurement, (vii) Quantitative versus qualitative research, (viii) Data analysis using SPSS, (ix) Case method and grounded theory development, (x) Essential principles of academic writing in social science and business disciplines, (xi) Identifying, targeting, and submitting to top journals in one’s field, (xii) Managing the review process and dealing with editors and reviewers.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have all the essential skills to design and execute an academic research project (either qualitative or quantitative) and have the confidence to submit their paper to a top-tier academic journal in their field.

2.       Teaching Excellence based on Cognitive Principles and the Science of Learning

This can be a 1-day or 2-day workshop based on the coverage. It will be fully participative and hands-on and the goal will be to equip participants with the state-of-the-art learning principles from cognitive science in designing their course syllabus, teaching methods and delivery for effective student engagement and learning.

3.       MBA Intensive Course Modules

For MBA teaching, I offer several modules covering advanced core curriculum as well as electives. Each module is 2 to 3 days, depending on coverage. I offer the following modules at this time: (i) Global Strategy, (ii) Corporate Strategy, (iii) Technology Innovation, (iv) Business Ethics and Stakeholder Management. Apart from this, I can also teach a full MBA course on the above topics on an intensive (compressed) basis.

Please get in touch with me if your institution is interested to host me as a visiting faculty for workshops and/or courses.

Regards,

Dev Dutta
