Instead, we will focus on exemplars of good theory.\n + Course content Most courses on theory in the social sciences concentrate on + the content of theories.\u00a0 In contrast, this class focuses on the canonical + formats of various types of theories and what constitutes an adequate theory + of a given type.\u00a0 The course will consider a number of types of theories, + including causal theory, contingency theory, systems theory, network theory, + several types of process theories and interpretive theory.\u00a0 It details + the characteristics of each type of theory, how to build an effective theory + of each type, and criteria that a good theory of each type must fulfill. Along + with general discussion of each theory type, we consider specific examples + drawn from several social science disciplines.\u00a0 We discuss the strengths + and weaknesses of each example and how they can be reconstructed to better + fulfill the criteria for an effective theory of their type.\u00a0 We will + also cover issues of construct explication and philosophy of social science + that are relevant to theory construction.

The schools of thought in strategy that + will be discussed include: \u2022 Industrial organization views of strategy + (including the work of Porter and cooperative game theory) \u2022 Resource-based + views of strategy (including knowledge-based and (dynamic) capabilities views) + \u2022 Behavioral and evolutionary views of strategy The schools of thought + in entrepreneurship that will be discussed include: \u2022 Economic theories + of entrepreneurship (including work on opportunity recognition and the role + of risk and uncertainty) \u2022 Psychological theories of entrepreneurship + (including work on cognition and emotions) \u2022 Sociological theories of + entrepreneurship (including work on social movements and network perspectives) + The current research streams that will be discussed include: \u2022 Stakeholder + strategy \u2022 Cooperative strategy \u2022 Social and sustainable entrepreneurship + \u2022 Scale-ups and models of entrepreneurial firm growth Download the course + manual here.

In the classes the literature and or\u00a0assignment will be assessed + by means of a guided discussion.\u00a0Students will give a presentation on + a contemporary issue or practice\u00a0related to the question of presence + and discernment within the Reformed\u00a0or Evangelical tradition and accordingly + finalize a paper (appr. 3.500\u00a0words) on the topic.\u00a0\nThere are 6 + ECTS for this course (= 168 sbu): 36 hours for classes, 20\u00a0hours for + the preparation of the presentation and 30 for writing the\u00a0paper. This + leaves 82 hours for literature study (with an average of 8\u00a0pages per + hour this means 656 pages in preparation for the classes).

It is therefore of crucial + importance to gain knowledge of the genetic underpinnings of normal and, in + particular, abnormal behaviour. For example, knowledge about the genetic variants + that underlie psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, depression and schizophrenia + provides keys to obtain more in-depth understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. + In addition identification of relevant genes affords the ability to predict + at risk people and can provide novel insights to improve care and pave the + way to the application of personalised interventions. To date the search for + genetic variants that influence behaviour and elucidation of the biological + pathways through which they do so remains a tremendous scientific challenge. + This of course reflects the complexity of behavioural traits as well as their + highly polygenetic background. An added problem is that detailed quantitative + descriptions of abnormal behaviours and psychiatric diseases are generally + lacking. Current health diagnostic systems generally entail only qualitative + appraisals of behaviour symptoms or psychiatric disorders, i.e., \"one has + a symptom or disorder or not\". Instead of behaviour itself, quantitative + measures of specific nervous system function that underlie final output behaviour + likely are more closely linked to genetic variation and therefore help elucidate + the pathways by which these genetic variants influence behaviour. Measuring + these biomarkers, or \"endophenotypes\", can furthermore help us understand + how these genes exert their effect by highlighting the associated functional + neurobiological changes.

Study Characteristics Course Description & Study Characteristics + Course Description","SearchableContentOtherAnalyzer":" Human behaviour shows + substantial individual variation which can be explained to a large extent + by differences in the genetic makeup of individuals. It is therefore of crucial + importance to gain knowledge of the genetic underpinnings of normal and, in + particular, abnormal behaviour. For example, knowledge about the genetic variants + that underlie psychiatric conditions such as ADHD, depression and schizophrenia + provides keys to obtain more in-depth understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. + In addition identification of relevant genes affords the ability to predict + at risk people and can provide novel insights to improve care and pave the + way to the application of personalised interventions. To date the search for + genetic variants that influence behaviour and elucidation of the biological + pathways through which they do so remains a tremendous scientific challenge. + This of course reflects the complexity of behavioural traits as well as their + highly polygenetic background. An added problem is that detailed quantitative + descriptions of abnormal behaviours and psychiatric diseases are generally + lacking.
