Research Interest
Dr. Ketokivi’s research, teaching, and consulting are best described as a combination of economics, sociology, psychology, management, philosophy, and statistics. In addition to the substantive topics of operations management and organization design, he specializes in methodology: research design, analysis of complex statistical data, measurement, reasoning, scientific rhetoric, and argumentation. “Numbers are important, but the essence of an argument lies in convincing an audience through effective rhetoric. To this end, numbers are merely one ingredient.”
