2008 EIASM Academic Council Meeting in Berlin. A report
On Monday, 6 October 2008 the representatives of our Academic Council Member Organisations met at the Humboldt University in Berlin.  The major theme for this year's meeting was "Challenges Facing Doctoral Education".
Doctoral education has always been central to the mission of the EIASM and is of increasing importance to the development of knowledge in Europe.  Through the established and widely-respected EDEN Seminars, EIASM has been at the forefront in helping doctoral students to enquire at the frontiers of management research.  The Seminars continue to evolve and to recognise the inter-disciplinary character of today's major problems and the need for research conducted with application in mind. 
But what more can we do - together?  This question formed the basis for the agenda for the 2008 meeting.
The presentations and discussions were thoughtful, provocative and insightful.  Participants framed and positioned their issues and, crucially, advised the EIASM on how the Institute might develop initiatives to address these issues.  That process is now under way.

On behalf of the EIASM, particular thanks are due to our Host, Professor Richard Stehle and the Humboldt University, to the Moderator, Professor Lars Engwall, to the panellists, to the working group facilitators and the rapporteurs, and indeed to all the participants.

Upcoming EDEN Doctoral Seminars

Brussels, Belgium February 2-6
Deadline date for Application: December 2, 2008

The EDEN doctoral seminar on research methodology in operations management is designed to fit PhD students in operations management. The seminar gives participants insights into the characteristics of four different research methodologies: simulation and modeling, surveys, case studies and action research. The main purpose of the seminar is to make participants aware of when to use different methodologies and the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology.

The first day contains general features of and advice on the research process, which are similar regardless of methodology. It also works as an introduction to the rest of the week and helps participants to set the different methodologies into perspective. The following four days are spent on each methodology, going through how to conduct and report a study based on the particular methodology. This is done by leading experts on each methodology.
Upon leaving the week, participants will have an increased insight into the research process and the nature of different methodologies, to help in their choice of methodology or, as more often is the case, help them fit their the methodology to their research question.
