MS&E 376: Strategy Doctoral Research Seminar

Classic and current research on business and corporate strategy. Limited enrollment, restricted to PhD students. Course may be repeated for credit.
Last offered: Winter 2023 | Repeatable for credit

MS&E 379: Social Data Analysis

Applied introduction to good empirical research and causal inference for social scientists and others analyzing social data. Designed to provide an introduction to some of the most commonly used quantitative techniques for causal inference in social data including: survey design and inference, regression and propensity score matching, instrumental variables, differences-in-differences, regression discontinuity designs, standard errors, and the analysis of big data. Applications: organizations, entrepreneurship, public policy, innovation, economics, online education, visual representations, communication, critique and design of figures, graphs. Does not explicitly cover social network structure or machine learning as these topics are well-covered elsewhere. Students work in groups and individually to design and carry out a small research project based on the use of analytics, large data sets, or other digital innovations related to business or other organizations. Students become acquainted with a variety of approaches to research design, and are helped to develop their own research projects. Course prioritizes a thorough substantively grounded understanding of assumptions over mathematical proofs and derivations. Aimed at PhD students, but open by permission to Master's students and to students in other Stanford programs with relevant coursework or experience in analytics and statistics.

MS&E 382: Meso-Organizational Theory (SOC 386)

Doctoral research seminar, limited to Ph.D. students. Provides an overview of research on meso-level organizational theory. Topics include classic and contemporary research on work and occupations, sociology of professions and expertise, meso-level theories on roles, jurisdictional conflicts, status, and authority, occupational drivers of technology adoption and implementation in the workplace, and the importance of organizational practices in addressing (or worsening) inequality. The course covers both foundational research as well as more recent empirical scholarship on these topics. Students are expected to use this course to make progress on their research projects/papers.
Last offered: Spring 2023

MS&E 384: Groups and Teams

Research on groups and teams in organizations from the perspective of organizational behavior and social psychology. Topics include group effectiveness, norms, group composition, diversity, conflict, group dynamics, temporal issues in groups, geographically distributed teams, and intergroup relations.
Last offered: Autumn 2022

MS&E 385: Doctoral Seminar in Race and Ethnicity

What is the difference between race and ethnicity? In what ways can we theorize the difference (if it exists)? How does modern racism work? And how does immigration change a nation's racial landscape? This graduate course surveys classic and contemporary writings on race and ethnicity mainly within the sociological tradition. We begin with Weber and some non-canonized classics, including the works of W.E.B. DuBois and Franz Fannon to understand how the study of race and ethnicity emerged in Social Science as a contrast to the biological determinist scholarship of the time. We pay attention to the way that social scientists emphasized the role of culture, structure, and status. From there we proceed to examine the more contemporary arguments, including uncovering the various mechanisms that undergird the (re)production or transformation of racial and ethnic boundaries. We spend time examining the literature on inequality and questions about the significance of race and racism. In additi more »

We spend time examining the literature on inequality and questions about the significance of race and racism. In addition, we assess how assimilation and racialization developed over time. We then spend time thinking about how to consider race and ethnicity in research designs. Finally, we end with looking towards the future, including how technology is changing modern conceptualizations of race and the potential of policy to mitigate the effects of systemic racism.

MS&E 386: Doctoral Research Seminar on Technology & Organizations

Doctoral Research Seminar on Technology & Organizations
Terms: Spr | Units: 1-3

MS&E 387: Design of Field Research Methods

Field research involves collecting original data (qualitative and/or quantitative) in field sites. This course combines informal lecture and discussion with practical exercises to build specific skills for conducting field research in organizations. Readings include books and papers about research methodology and articles that provide exemplars of field research. Specific topics covered include: the role of theory in field research, variance versus process models, collecting and analyzing different kinds of data (observation, interview, survey), levels of analysis, construct development and validity, blending qualitative and quantitative data (in a paper, a study, or a career), and writing up field research for publication. Students will develop intuition about the contingent relationship between the nature of the research question and the field research methods used to answer it as a foundation for conducting original field research.
Last offered: Autumn 2018

MS&E 388: Contemporary Themes in Work and Organization Studies

Doctoral research seminar, limited to Ph.D. students. Current meso-level field research on organizational behavior, especially work and coordination. Topics: work design, job design, roles, teams, organizational change and learning, knowledge management, performance. Focus on understanding theory development and research design in contemporary field research. Topics change yearly. Recommended: course in statistics or research methods.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1-3
