Students are expected to learn how the historical method works, why it is different from the methods of social sciences, and how it may supplement the latter.

After introducing the main materials to be used and discussed during the course, the teracher will start presenting for discussion the ongoing debate on historical apoproaches to management research.
All along the course, students will alternate discussing different scholarly perspectives on time, temporality and history from different disciplinary perspectives, in direct relationship with their research projects.
