Objectives
This curricular unit (CU) aims to develop skills, methodologies and research. At the end of the course, students should be able to:
- Critically discuss key concepts and concepts related to information technology (IT) adoption models and ITs impact models;
- Conduct scientific research related to the adoption and/or impact (value) models of ITs;
- Present the results of research appropriately;
- Critique the work of colleagues;
- Evaluate the results of colleagues;
- Write a scientific article that may be published in a high impact journal (Q1 or ABS list level 3).

Teaching method
This CU will use a mixed approach with sessions of presentation of the Syllabus by the Professor, presentations made by the students and critical and constructive discussions of these presentations. Whenever possible, International Top Scholars and/or former students who have obtained relevant publications in leading journals will be invited to share their experience in the publishing process, as well as to motivate students to achieve the purpose of the publication.
The evaluation has the following components:
- Presentation of the works in the classroom;
- Programmatic interventions of criticism to the works of colleagues;
- Participation throughout the classes;
- Elaboration of a final document for publication.
