Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Seminar theme: Understanding the Economics of ScienceHarley, Faems, and Corbett (2014: 1361) reflect on the “general unease in the scholarly community about academic misconduct”. As editors, they indicate the growing concerns at their journal (Journal of Management Studies) but also with misconduct discussed in (private) conversations with editors at other leading management journals. In this seminar we take up the. While Merton (1942: 276) attested to “[…] the virtual absence of fraud in the annals of science” there is currently an ongoing and lively debate about the replicability of published results in psychology, economics, and management research. The field of management has come under increasing scrutiny recently, in part due to the incidences of peer-reviewed journal retractions (Honig, Lampel, Siegel, & Drnevich, 2014; Karabag, & Berggren, 2012; Karabag, & Berggren, 2016). One prominent management scholar has accumulated sixteen retractions from major management journals (Retraction Watch, 2016), and another has racked up seven (Retraction Watch, 2016b). While some errors can be attributed to accident or incompetent research, a growing body of work asserts that retractions are the result of academic dishonesty by scholars facing what could be considered an increasingly competitive environment. As Honig et al. (2014) state: “We are clearly in transition, but from what to where?” Hence, to understand science and scientific progress, one needs to pay not only to how new knowledge is generated, but also how it dissipates and by whom. In this seminar we cover the basic generation of scientific output, the places where it gets published (or rejected) and the personal dimensions and consequences of misconduct in academia.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Topic assignment:
As early as possible, latest two days before the introductory meeting, students are requested to send a short e-mail to Dana Minarikova (dana.minarikova@univie.ac.at) ranking three of the above listed numbered topics in a priority list. Based on these priority lists, the chair will assign them using a first-come-first-serve rule. If priority lists are exhausted, the chair will assign topics by filling vacant presentation slots. The same applies to registered students who decide not to supply a priority list. Late withdrawals or changes are not possible.
The students are supposed to prepare a presentation of one of the topics listed above. Two students assigned to the same topic must coordinate a joint presentation.
The “working language” during seminar sessions is English. The maximum time per presentation is 45 minutes for a single presenter and one hour for a joint presentation. The sequence of presentations strictly follows the numbering of topics in the list above. Students are expected to prepare supporting slides and/or hand-outs and to speak “freely” during their presentations.
Every student must individually submit a seminar paper. The seminar paper should summarize the assigned topic. Students are supposed to search for papers from scientific journals regarding the assigned topic.
Seminar papers must use 11 pica letter size and 1.5 line spacing. Papers can be written in either English or German (to satisfy the requirements of the “International Management” specialization, papers must be written in English). They must use appropriate citation and reference rules and obey the general ethical principles of scientific work. Please notice: Any type of copying, including copying from fellow students’ presentation slides and/or seminar papers, constitutes misconduct and will result in receiving the no-pass grade “X”. Direct citations from original scientific work which are properly marked constitute the only exceptions from this rule.
The seminar papers are due on 17th July. Please send a pdf-copy via email to the lecturer (hopp@time.rwth-aachen.de).
Students are expected to prepare for class. They are required to actively participate in the classroom discussions and should be aware that the lecturer can call upon them for comments at any time during the seminar. In particular, they can be asked to introduce the session’s topic as it relates to the seminar’s general theme.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Complete attendance of each session of the seminar, including the preparatory meeting, is obligatory. Absolutely no exceptions apply. Leaves will only be granted in cases of illnesses or if the person demanding a leave is required to participate in an official activity of the University, Faculty, or Institute. In the first case, the doctor’s medical certificate must be presented to the Chair immediately (i.e. latest by the first working day following the absence day). Failure to comply with this rule leads to a no-pass grade. Passing grades can generally not be earned by students who miss more than 10% of the total class-time.
The final grade will be calculated as the weighted average of the grades for the seminar paper (40 %), for the presentation (40 %), and for classroom participation (20 %).
A presentation of the assigned topics and a submission of the seminar paper are necessary to pass the course. Neglecting either of them will lead to a no-pass grade.
