\"\"Course aim and content<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students learn about service management and relationship oriented marketing management and research implications from them in the consumer and industrial market. Emphasis is given to familiarising the students with research publications\/articles dealing with service and relationship management from different perspectives as well as analysing and discussing the evolvement and fundamental assumptions. Students read, analyse, and discuss research publications that have had or are assumed to have a major impact and develop skills in reading and analysing them. This ability strengthens the students’ research skills and facilitates the design and writing of a doctoral thesis. Methodological issues are also addressed since they are closely linked to the students\u2019 doctoral theses. The course should give a good platform to formulate research problems and it supports doctoral students\u2019 own research.<\/p>\n

After the course you are expected to have an overview over service and relationship management research and a deeper understanding of selected core concepts and issues.<\/p>\n

After completing this course, students shall be able to

Learning method<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learning is facilitated by individual written article analyses, in-class discussion of articles as well as writing and discussing a term paper and finally submitting a learning diary.<\/p>\n

The Key Learning Analyses of the material for each topic is done individually. The method resembles problem-based learning in that the students are responsible for reading the assigned literature, analysing it in-depth and preparing answers to pre-assigned questions as well as critically reflecting on the literature.<\/p>\n

Learning is further developed in the in-class sessions in which the students and instructors together share and develop insights in group discussions facilitated by the course instructors.<\/p>\n

Students select a topic for a term paper which is expected to be a paper written specifically during the course and usable afterwards in the thesis or as part of a working paper\/conference paper. Term papers can be done either individually or in teams of two students and vary in scope depending on number of team members. Teams can be formed during the first in-class meeting in September.<\/p>\n

The term papers are presented and discussed at the second meeting, which means that everyone will gain additional depth and breadth in their knowledge. There is also an opportunity to revise the term papers based on feedback from the session and the instructors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Examination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evaluation is based on continual assessment, a written term paper, and a learning diary.<\/p>\n

1) Presence and informed participation in all four days of class meetings are compulsory. The examination is based on the students\u2019 ability to contribute to the in-class discussions and debates and to co-facilitate in-class sessions.<\/p>\n

2) Key learning analysis. Individual written analyses of the material related to each topic are to be submitted online before the session when it is dealt with.<\/p>\n

3) Term paper, including presentation and discussion of the papers in class. Written feedback is provided to facilitate revisions. Made revisions will impact the grade.<\/p>\n

4) Learning diary.<\/p>\n

The grades for passing the course are: satisfactory, good, and excellent. Hanken external students receive course diplomas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
