Kappelman et al. • “To whom is the article addressed?​”

Kappelman et al. • Alex and Troels asks: What makes this research?

Kappelman et al. • “How come there were no team members related to the research method?”

Ives et al. • “ The article is written by 40 scholars. Why so many authors? ”

Ives et al. • “ Is the focus of the article exclusively for business school or could the same also be said for IT schools?” • “Will this not affect every graduating student, not only business students?”

Agenda of the rest of the seminar Work in groups until 11.40 on Ives et al. • Step 1: Discuss the arguments and evidence of the paper. What are the strengths and limitations? (max 10 minutes) • Step 2: Go through table 1 in the article. • Step 3: Pick one of the core concepts that you wish to discuss in-depth and read the learning objectives proposed in the right column. • Step 4: Relate the learning objectives to 1-2 articles from the course syllabus: • How can the articles add to our understanding of the topics proposed in the learning objectives? • Compare the papers: Are they saying the same thing? Are they contradicting each other? Are there significant differences in the theoretical underpinnings and/or evidence that supports the arguments? • Do you find any important learning objectives missing in Ives et al? Which one(s)? • Repeat from step 1, if you have more time. • Group discussion will end with a short plenum round – pick a group speaker
