Program Objective
Scholars in the social sciences, business administration, humanities, medicine and the life-sciences are expected to not only generate interesting and important theory, but also to test these theories using state-of-the-art statistical analyses. Recent innovations in the statistical applications available to management scholars facilitate the testing of more complex, multi-level and dynamic models. Recanati’s third Summer Workshop in Advanced Research Methods (SWARM) Program is designed to provide young scholars (Ph.D. students and junior faculty in the above mentioned fields/disciplines) with the opportunity to master these techniques:
- Quickly - in the context of 3-4 day workshops
- Cheaply - The cost of each workshop is just USD400.(does not include costs of software that may be required for some courses). Discounts on multi-workshop packages.
- Effectively - Our courses are designed to place minimal emphasis on mathematical formulas and maximize hands-on development of practical analytic skills
- Easily - World-renowned faculty who not only teach methods but are among the leading global scholars developing and extending these methods.
