6 Planning the research approach research design
7 Research approach Main approach, how new scientific knowledge is created in this study
8 Scientific Knowledge (Classic definition): Argumented (Through published sources) True (Truth like) Belief (Believed by the researcher) Progressive (aligned with earlier research) Economical (ideal of generalization) Exposed to critics (public) Created trough scientific methods
9 Strategic planning of research Philosophical background assumoptions : ontology, epistemology and human nature Metodology Epistemology Theoritical origns Phenomena Research approach Ontology Human nature Method: material collection and analysis R A R = Researcher A = Actor The hierarchy of subjectivists assumtions about the nature of social science. (Pihlanto P (1994) The action oriented approach and case stydy method in management studies. In Scandinavian jornal of management, Vol 10 No 4, )
10 Basic positioning in research The ontological foundation (=the essence of the research object) Competence of subject/field (=understanding the substance and object of research) Theory and concepts Philosophy Background Paradigm of science RESEARCH The epistemological foundation of knowledge i.e. the science of knowledge (=which, from where, how the knowledge is acquired) Methodology (= the conception of a valid method) Research approaches and choices
11 Ontological foundation In philosophy, ontology -- of being part of is the study of the nature of being, existence or reality in general as well as the basic categories of being and their relations, Traditionally listed as a part of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, ontology deals with questions concerning what entities exist or can be said to exist, and how such entities can be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences.
12 Some basic questions of Ontology The principal questions of ontology are "What can be said to exist?" and "Into what categories, if any, can we sort existing things?" Different philosophers have provided different answers to this question. One common approach is to divide the extant entities into groups called categories. However, such lists of categories also differ widely from one another, and it is through the co-ordination of different categorial schemes that ontology relates to such fields as theology, library science and artificial intelligence. Further examples of ontological questions include: What is existence? Is existence a property? Which entities are fundamental? How do the properties of an object relate to the object itself? What features are the essential, as opposed to merely accidental, attributes of a given object? What is a physical object? Can one give an account of what it means to say that a physical object exists? What constitutes the identity of an object? When does an object go out of existence, as opposed to merely changing? Why does anything exist rather than nothing? (This overlaps with questions in cosmology.)
13 Ontological approaches Social scientists adopt one of four main ontological approaches: realism the idea that facts are out there just waiting to be discovered, empiricism the idea that we can observe the world and evaluate those observations in relation to facts, positivism which focuses on the observations themselves, attentive more to claims about facts than to facts themselves, and post-modernism which holds that facts are fluid and elusive, so we should focus only on our observational claims.
14 Epistemological foundation theory of knowledge is a branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope (limitations) of knowledge. Much of the debate in this field has focused on analyzing the nature of knowledge and how it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief, and justification. It also deals with the means of production of knowledge, as well as skepticism about different knowledge claims. In other words, epistemology primarily addresses the following questions: "What is knowledge?", "How is knowledge acquired?", "What do people know?", "How do we know what we know?
15 A priori and a posteriori knowledge The nature of this distinction has been disputed by various philosophers; however, the terms may be roughly defined as follows: A priori knowledge is knowledge that is known independently of experience (that is, it is nonempirical). A posteriori knowledge is knowledge that is known by experience (that is, it is empirical).
16 Specific theories of knowledge acquisition Empiricism In philosophy, empiricism is generally a theory of knowledge emphasizing the role of experience, especially experience based on perceptual observations by the five senses. Certain forms treat all knowledge as empirical, while some regard disciplines such as mathematics and logic as exceptions. Rationalism Rationalists believe that knowledge is primarily (at least in some areas) acquired by a priori processes or is innate for example, in the form of concepts not derived from experience. The relevant theoretical processes often go by the name "intuition". The extent to which this innate human knowledge is emphasized over experience as a means to acquire knowledge varies from rationalist to rationalist. Some hold that knowledge of any kind can only be gained a priori, while others claim that some knowledge can also be gained a posteriori. Consequently, the borderline between rationalist epistemologies and others can be vague. Constructivism Constructivism is a view in philosophy according to which all knowledge is "constructed" in as much as it is contingent on convention, human perception, and social experience. Constructivism proposes new definitions for knowledge and truth that forms a new paradigm, based on inter-subjectivity instead of the classical objectivity and viability instead of truth. Piagetian constructivism, however, believes in objectivity as constructs can be validated through experimentation.
17 Classification of Research Approaches Qualitative vs. Quantitative Approach Conceptual Approach Nomothetical Approach Decision-oriented Approach Action-oriented Approach Constructive Approach
18 Positivism vs. Hermeneutics TARGET POSITIVISM HERMENEUTICS Information Facts Contains meanings Information system Human Technical Part of mechanism Organizational/ social Free and able to think Technology Inevitable Human s choice Society/ organization Structure, where human is only a part Interaction between humans
19 CLASSIFICATIONS OF RESEARCH APPROACHES Finnish business economics classification (Neilimo & Näsi 1980) conceptual, nomothetical, decision-oriented and action-oriented approaches International classification qualitative vs. quantitative positivist vs. interpretive/critical research based on large vs. small empirical samples Classification by Arbnor & Bjerke analytical approach, systems approach and actor approach
20 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Qualitative Approach sometimes called ethnographic research involves the use of qualitative data usually answers the questions what the phenomenon is like what kind of qualities the phenomenon has can be positivist, interpretive or critical
21 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Quantitative Approach is used when it is possible to specify variables which can be measured or tested as numbers usually answers the questions how to determine the factors that are measured what factors are the ones, which will help explain a phenomenon often associated with positivist basic view of research is analytic
22 RESEARCH APPROACHES Descriptive Normative Theoretical Conceptual research approach Decision-oriented research approach Empirical Nomothetical research Action-oriented research approach Constructive research approach
23 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Conceptual Approach uses the method of reasoning aims to create theoretical concepts, concept entities and hypotheses the work is based on the already existing conceptual analysis
24 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Nomothetical Approach sometimes called positivistic approach the most common approach field of economic research aim to show the causal interdependencies between different phenomena of the economic life deduction, hypothesis, models and empirical testing play a key role
25 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Decision-oriented Approach normative by its nature aim is to develop problem-solving methods theoretical analysis and thinking are important the principles of logics and mathematics are often followed
26 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Action-oriented Approach also known as subjectivistic research hermeneutic and understanding by its nature aim is to gain profound understanding and relevant descriptions of human phenomena in real-world settings brings the human being into the focus
27 Action research 1 DIAGNOSING Identifying or defining a problem 2 ACTION PLANNING Considering alternative courses of action for solving a problem 3 ACTION TAKING Selecting a course of action 4 EVALUATING Studying consequences of an action 5 SPECIFYING LEARNING Identifying general findings Susman & Evered (1978)
28 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Constructive Approach solving a problem through constructing a model, plan, organization, diagram, etc. normative by its nature, applies typically case method the problem and solution have to be tied with theoretical framework functionality of the solution in practice and solution s novelty have to be demonstrated
29 Constructive research approach Design Science The practical relevance of the problem Linkage to the theory Construct, the solution of the problem The practical functionality of the solution The scientific novelty value of the solution The elements of constructive research. (Kasanen et al. 1991)
30 The stages ofconstructive research approach. (Kasanen et al. 1991) Phase Description 1 Searching of a relevant and interesting researchproblem 2 Gaining preliminary understandingover the research area 3 Innovation phase, constructing the solution model 4 Testing solution proving the correctness of the construction 5 Showing the scientific contribution and theoretical connections 6 Consideration of the solution generalisation
31 RESEARCH APPROACHES: Constructive Approach solving a problem through constructing a model, plan, organization, diagram, etc. normative by its nature, applies typically case method the problem and solution have to be tied with theoretical framework functionality of the solution in practice and solution s novelty have to be demonstrated
32 Eisenhardt (1989) Building theories from case study research. Academy of management review, vol 14 (4), Step Getting started Selecting cases Crafting instruments and protocols Activity Defining of research questions Neither theory nor hypotheses Specified population Theoretical, not random, sampling Multiple data collecting methods (qualitative and quantitative methods, multiple investigators) Reason Focuses efforts Retains theoretical flexibility Focuses efforts on theoretically useful cases Triangulation of evidence Divergent perspectives
33 Step Entering the field Analyzing data Shaping hypotheses Enfolding literature Activity Overlapping data collection and analysis Flexible and opportunistic data collection methods Within-case analysis Cross-case pattern search using divergent techniques Search evidence for why behind relationships Comparison with conflicting literature Comparison with similar literature Reason Speeds analysis and reveals helpful adjustments to data collection Allows to take advantage of emergent themes and unique case features Gains familiarity with data and preliminary theory generation Forces to look beyond initial impressions and see evidence thru multiple lenses Sharpens construct definition, validity and measurability Confirms, extends and sharpens theory Raises theoretical level Sharpens generalizability
34 The three methodological metaapproaches (Arbnor & Bjerke 1997) Reality as concrete and comfortable to law from a structure independent of the observer Reality as concrete determining process Reality as mutually dependent fields of information Reality as a world of symbolic discourse Reality as a social construction Reality as a manifestation of human intentionality The analytical approach The systems approach The actors approach
35 Case study quality assurance Construct validity; establishing correct operational measures for the concepts being studied. multiple sources of evidence have key informants review of case study report Data collection and composition phase Internal validity; establishing a causal relationship whereby certain conditions are shown to lead to other conditions, as distinguished from a spurious relationship. pattern matching explanation building Data analysis phase External validity; establishing the domain to which the finding can be generalized. replication logic in multiple case studies Research design phase Reliability; demonstrating that the research operations, such as data collection, can be repeated with the same results. follow case study protocol develop case study data base Data collection phase
36 Summary Every research is unique project Researcher has to be in top of the research Each research has to be defined on its own standings
