Paper Abstract:
|
This discussion paper proposes a piece of qualitative research that will consider the question can leadership capabilities be developed in early career researchers through the provision of doctoral training programmes? The research will use Checklands Soft Systems Methodology to investigate the current research training provision offered to doctoral students in the Management School at Lancaster University. Through the application of Soft Systems Methodology, the author aims to identify a number of different stakeholder perceptions, including the role of the researcher to unpack questions about whether leadership capability should and is being developed, and to consider the impact such leadership development is having on both new career researchers and the Higher Education Institutions. It is hoped that a number of lessons will be drawn from the research that will inform future research training development and resourcing. |
