At the 21st SCANCOR PhD course on Institutional Analysis international and local 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.
PhD candidates 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 candidates to carry out their own individual research using approaches from institutional analysis. Previous workshops were hosted at University of Hamburg, University of Oslo, 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.
The programme 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. All PhD candidates participating in the course are required to participate in person.
• Afternoon course sessions with international faculty are limited to the selected PhD participants. These sessions are devoted to discussing both classic and contemporary theoretical developments within institutional theory and in person participation is required.
