About this course

Research can reveal questions that a practical management checklist leaves unexplored. LMU’s Research Kitchen offers short discussions of academic work related to competitive strategy and organisational design.

The format centres on paper-focused sessions presented at a whiteboard, rather than a conventional sequence of large modules. It is an optional companion to the provider’s wider strategy teaching.

  • Organisational analysis

WikiFree recommends it for curious learners who want to see how management questions become research questions. It is less suitable as a complete first course in running a business or as a systematic research-methods qualification.

When listening to a study discussion, note the question, the evidence and the boundaries of the conclusion separately. That approach helps you compare papers without treating every finding as a universal rule for your own organisation.
