How Do I Structure My Argument? (3 of 5)

Speaker: Mikko Ketokivi (IE) Surprisingly enough, the structure of arguments remains under-researched and under-specified in many contexts, including scientific argumentation: What is the basic structure of an argument? What is the role of empirical data? How about assumptions? In organizational and management research, there are many competing paradigms that vary drastically in their approaches and underpinning assumptions; how is this evident in how arguments are structured? Are there choices associated with arguments? What are these choices, and where do we make them? In this session, we look at how arguments are made and how claims are justified.
