Omschrijving	This course aims at analyzing some salient themes/theories in Business and Management. Students are challenged to adopt a critical approach with regard to the validity of the knowledge derived from these theoretical insights. Students have to: • understand the contribution of the selected theories to the discipline of business and management; • make a critical assessment of the theoretical foundation of one of the theories; • make a critical assessment of the empirical validation of the theory; • identify the major limitations. The course covers three main themes and consists of two parts: 1. The first three weeks four online introductory lectures on the three contemporary themes/theories are offered. 2. The last weeks of this period (2.2), the students will select one of the themes and discuss some additional papers in smaller online working-group sessions (groups of about 20-25 students per session, each divided into 5 sub-groups of 4-5 students). The students will assess the distributed literature under the supervision of a teacher.
