ECSB is offering to its members a Professional Development Workshop on 20 October 2021 at 14:00-16:00 CEST that aims to introduce entrepreneurship researchers to Adaptive Choice-based Conjoint Analysis research method in an easy and intuitive way, using the leading software in the field i.e. Sawtooth Software Lighthouse Studio.
This is intended to be an entry level workshop without any prior knowledge required. The workshop aims to show how the method primarily used in Marketing can be successfully implemented in other social sciences – particularly in Entrepreneurship. The workshop might be of an interest to researchers dealing with the concept of: “utility” e.g. utility maximising models, modelling utility function; or any studies involving “choice” e.g. policy choice or career choice. Although this is a quantitative method, it might also be interesting for researchers using qualitative methods as an enrichment of their qualitative study, as it is possible to model the utility function even for a single respondent using the method.
The workshop will:
- Deliver all necessary knowledge and theory needed to design a conceptual model and a study.
- Support the design of participants’ own conceptual model relevant to their own field of expertise.
- Guide participants through the whole process of implementing the conceptual model into the software on the general example created beforehand.
- Explain how the data analysis can be conducted using previously collected data.
All participants will receive animated tutorial notes and a trial license of the software in order to practice on their own laptop after the workshop from the comfort of their home.
