Credibility and Rigour in Management Research

The summer school offers an intensive one-week program designed to equip PhD students and early career scholars with the knowledge, tools, and mindset required to conduct credible and rigorous management research.

Across five days, participants explore the roots of the credibility crisis in management research and the social sciences in general, learn how to apply open science practices, master research designs that support robust causal inference, and develop their own credibility-focused research proposals.

This summer school responds to a growing demand from both scholars and scientific journals for greater transparency and rigor in management research. Through a combination of expert lectures, interactive workshops, and group projects, participants will learn to critically assess existing studies, implement credibility-enhancing practices in their own work, and position themselves at the forefront of a movement reshaping the future of management scholarship.
