Theoretical Frameworks

Module Description:

Understanding and applying theoretical frameworks is crucial for academic research, business strategy, and professional problem-solving. This module explores the role of theoretical frameworks in structuring research, analyzing data, and guiding decision-making processes. Participants will learn how to identify, evaluate, and apply relevant theories in various fields, including social sciences, business, and technology. The course covers key epistemological perspectives, the relationship between theory and practice, and strategies for integrating frameworks into academic and industry-specific contexts. Learners will engage in practical exercises to develop strong theoretical foundations for research projects, business models, and strategic planning. By the end of the module, participants will have the skills to critically assess and construct theoretical frameworks to enhance their work in academia or industry.
