At the 19th SCANCOR PhD workshop on Institutional Analysis international faculty will present recent and ongoing research, the current state of institutional theory, and discuss future directions and methodological tools that deepen the institutional agenda. Special attention is given to contemporary social, political, and economic challenges as well as challenges of theorizing to understand institutional change. We approach these challenges from a wide range of theoretical lenses including temporal dynamics, power, world society, or social movement theory.
Students will take away new insights and tools, along with a deeper understanding of how to match conceptual questions with research methods. The workshop will prepare PhD students to carry out their own individual research using approaches from institutional analysis. Previous workshops were hosted at Stanford University, Copenhagen Business School, IESE Barcelona, University of Mannheim, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, EMLYON Business School, Stockholm School of Economics, WU Vienna, and Aalto University. In addition to public morning lectures, there are afternoon workshop sessions for PhD students which are devoted to discussing both classic and contemporary theoretical developments within institutional theory. Hence, the workshop consists of two parts each day:
- In public morning lectures (2 each day), international and local faculty will present and discuss research within the field of institutional theory. The lectures in the morning are open to the public and as such guests are welcome. Guests may also watch the lectures online, as we will be streaming them. As selected PhD participant you are required to participate in person.
- Afternoon workshop sessions with international faculty are limited to the selected PhD participants
