The course will focus on how quantitative methods can be used to develop the theory in business. To gain a deeper understanding of how work with quantitative methods is performed, the LISREL-method will be studied.The process of data processing from raw data to finished structure model will be studied. Emphasis will be on how the LISREL- method can be used as a tool to develop theory. The course applies an advanced statistical technique for developing concepts and theory.This is done by going through concrete examples where statistical results and theoretical notions developed in an interactive process that will result in thaughts that hold for publication in international research papers. To give the student a comprehensive view of the research process from idea to the finished article the review process will also be studied.
