Dear All

I am undertaking doctoral research into the epistemological development of management students and I wondered if anybody was familiar with any literature or research done in this area.  I know stuff has been done on epistemological beliefs in relation to how students see knowledge creation, particularly from a research philosophy perspective but my research is looking at the stage/stages prior to that.  When I say epistemological development I am referring to how we know what we know and how we justify what we know.  Epistemological development is currently fairly big in psychology and education generally but not in the management education area and so if anyone has come across research of this type I would be very pleased to hear from you.  My research is looking at postgraduate management students, MBA in particular.

I look forward to hearing from colleagues and I will be happy to mail out details of any literature or research I receive.

Kind regards
Vicky Harte
