In this webinar we will examine the use of phenomenography in Business and Management Research. Drawing on experience of conducting phenomenographic research on topics such as internationalisation, how managers actually manage diversity in practice and what constitutes human practice at work, Professor Jorgen Sandberg will present some practical insights into how to conduct phenomenography, and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of this approach. There will be time for questions and discussion after the talk.
