The Leadership and Leadership Development Special Interest Group (BAM) and the Entrepreneurship in Minority Groups Special Interest Group (ISBE) are delighted to announce a one-day virtual event tailored for doctoral students.
This event aims to provide invaluable support to our community of doctoral students by shedding light on best practices in doctoral research. Given the complexity surrounding literature reviews and sampling techniques, our goal is to demystify these processes by making implicit procedures more explicit.
The event will feature two engaging and informative sessions:
Session One: Systematic Literature Review Unveiled
In this session, we examine the concept of the systematic literature review, addressing the perception that many 'traditional narratives' lack thoroughness as genuine investigatory evidence. We will explore the underlying assumptions and tasks involved in conducting a systematic review, offering attendees a comprehensive understanding of this essential aspect of doctoral research.
Session Two: Sampling in Qualitative Research – The Case for Justification
Focusing on non-probability sampling in qualitative research, this session emphasises the importance of justifying sampling decisions. By providing appropriate context for assessing samples, attendees will gain insight into the significance of sampling justification and its impact on the credibility of research findings.
We hope that participants will seize this opportunity to assess the applicability of the insights shared in this event towards building a robust knowledge base.
We also extend our gratitude to the experts leading the sessions: Professor Christian Harrison from the University of Bolton and Dr Kingsley Omeihe from the University of the West of Scotland. Their expertise and nuanced understanding will enrich our discussions and broaden our perspectives on the topics covered in this event.
