5th One Week Workshop on Tools and Techniques for Data Analysis in Management Research

The objective of the Workshop is "To equip the participants with the knowledge of different tools and techniques used in the data analysis in modern day management/social sciences research so that they not only understand the right tools and techniques for their research but also add value to the knowledge domain".

After the end of the Workshop, the participants will be able to use the appropriate tools and techniques for their research and contribute significantly in the knowledge base of their field.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The field of management/social sciences research is very dynamic and evolving at a rapid pace. One has to be updated with the latest tools and techniques of data analysis for the meaningful research in the area of management/social sciences. Generating data is not a big problem but interpreting the information hidden in the data is a challenging task and it will become simplified if one has the knowledge of using the right tools and techniques for analyzing the data. It will not only provide a better result but also contribute significantly to the knowledge base and hence be useful for researchers as well as to the society. The job is simplified with the help of softwares therefore it is imperative for a researcher to know which software will be suitable for his/her research and how it should be used.

After conducting the four successful Workshops on “Tools and Techniques for Data Analysis in Management Research”, the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences is organizing the fifth Workshop on the topic mentioned above. The Workshop is designed for Practicing Managers, Faculty members and research scholars in the field of management/social sciences as well as to any other person who is interested in conducting research using Data Analysis for his/her area of specialization.

Since the research is best learned by hands-on, therefore the Workshop emphasizes on a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” approach. In the Workshop, the participants have to participate actively to understand different tools and techniques used in modern day management/social sciences research. The Workshop will definitely enrich the participants and help them understand their research problems with different perspectives and from different dimensions.
