RMC 701 - Introduction to the Philosophy of Science

In general, philosophy of science is concerned with the assumptions, foundations, methods, and implications of science and with the use and merit of science. A heavy emphasis on gaining an appreciation for good theory and the value of theory to scientific inquiry is a key theme. Ultimately the course will set the stage for the doctoral students’ journey toward engaged scholarship, making important connections among science, theory, and identifying and addressing business problems through evidence-based decision making.
