New Edition of the PhD Day in Management

The challenges of PhD students inspired a group of friends and colleagues at the TechTalent-Lab and the Department of Management of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya·BarcelonaTech to organize a series of "PhD Day in Management" regarding research topics. Thus, these events aim to support PhD students by providing them with training, advice, and expertise from top scholars. It is the perfect opportunity to learn from experts and present your research while discussing your doubts. It has been designed to increase PhD candidates' effectiveness and meet the challenges of early-career researchers.

This year's third edition will focus on the interdisciplinary research methods for collecting data, a process that all PhD candidates and researchers have to face in their research projects. Among the five primary methods for collecting data, the seminars will focus on the most common ones in management and related fields: Interviews and Questionnaires (surveys). Besides, the round table will focus on how we can collect and use data from social media networks, such as Twitter and Linkedin, in our research projects. Some of the questions we will discuss with experts in the field are: What differs the face-to-face and online interviews? How to design an interview protocol? How to face a difficult interview? How to design or translate a survey? Which are the most common mistakes when we analyse data from surveys? How can we use data from social media networks? Which is the credibility of the data from these networks? and, What kind of software can we use for collecting data?
