Faculty Developement Program on MDA
Why attend a FDP at TAPMI?
The T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) is one among the management Institutes with the globally coveted AACSB accreditation. This mandates every faculty of TAPMI to publish in reputed peer reviewed journals. Publication has been a focus area of TAPMI for several years now. We are among the top business schools for publication in India. TAPMI has 45 PhD faculty and nurtures research big time. This program is TAPMI’s commitment to extent its expertise in paper publications to other management institutes to facilitate career development of the faculty in other institutes as also help the institutions set higher benchmark for publication and to embark upon procuring the coveted AACSB accreditation.
Why Multivariate Data Analysis (MDA)?
Multivariate techniques like Regression and Factor Analysis are 2 most important tools for research. These methodologies study more than one variable at a time and concentrate on degree of relationship between variables of interest. Also, in a situation where a series of dependent-independent relationships are examined simultaneously or a situation where the validity of the measure has to be established, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) provides you the power to analyze. These situations are typical in research in most disciplines like psychology, marketing, organizational and information systems research. These research methodologies are crucial to start the journey of research and publications. The applications of these techniques are innumerable and proven through countless academic publications.
Why SPSS and AMOS?
SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) software has a long history of user-friendly statistical tool. AMOS, on the other hand, is the most user-friendly statistical software for SEM. Researchers, faculty members and industry executives around the globe have been using SPSS and AMOS in doing data analysis for the same reason.
Learning Outcomes of the Program
The Programme shall be carried out in a workshop mode using hands on lab sessions with valid data sets using SPSS & AMOS. The learning outcomes of the program are
- Apply the multivariate data analysis techniques (regression and factor analysis) using SPSS
- Creating SEM (Structural and Measurement) Models using AMOS
- Analyse the results of the SEM Models
- Integrate and post the results of the analysis appropriately in a research paper
Who should subscribe to this Program?
- Research Scholars/ Faculty Members who aspire to publish
- Industry Executives / People engaged in data analysis and research using contemporary statistical techniques
Prerequisites
An open mind and willingness to learn is all that we look for.
