Fit of Data in Scientific Inquiry - Dr. Agnieszka Chidlow

What is the definition of “Theory” and “Theorising”?

A type of explanation consistent with the artistic method
A rational thinking about a specific phenomenon
A method to control future events
The abstract structure of evidence

What is the purpose of the Art of Theorising?

To produce artistic works
To understand theory development in science
To predict future events in the social world
To develop credible explanations about examined phenomena in the social world

Ontology refers to:

What phenomenon is there to know
What we know & how we know about phenomenon
What kind of relationships exists among theories
How can we find out about phenomenon

The following definition: “a specific way of expressing and presenting information, which is produced and/or incorporated in research practices so as to be available as a source of evidence, and whose behavior and scientific significance depend on the context in which it is used” refers to:

Research Design
Paradigm
Analytical Technique
Data

What is one consequence of using only a standardized methodology in research?

Increased methodological fit
Paradigmatic diversification
Consistency of results
Lack of understanding of a field's complexity

Which type of research typically involves inductive/exploratory theory building?

Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Mixed Methods Research
Archival Data Research

According to Edmondson & McManus (2007), when should qualitative data be used in research in International Business?

When studying phenomena with well-established theories
When theory is in a mature stage
When exploring nascent theory and poorly understood phenomena
When quantitative data cannot be collected

How does Edmondson & McManus (2007) describe the relationship between theory maturity and research methods in International Business?

Mature theory primarily uses qualitative data, while intermediate theory primarily uses quantitative data
Intermediate theory primarily uses qualitative data, while mature theory primarily uses quantitative data
There is no relationship between theory maturity and research methods
Both mature and nascent theory benefit from a mix of quantitative and qualitative data

Which type of research typically involves deductive theory building?

Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Mixed Methods Research
Archival Data Research

How do some scholars view “big data” in the field of International Business research?

As a new form of currency
As a method that primarily involves prior theoretical assumptions
As a tool for primarily exploratory research
As a traditional research approach

What does Research Transparency in social science entail, according to the text?

Keeping all research findings confidential
Disclosing evidence-based knowledge to promote replicability
Only sharing data access
Providing a full disclosure of analytical measures

What is the primary goal of responsible research in international business?

Generating scientific knowledge for academic purposes
Producing knowledge directly useful for business
Producing knowledge directly useful for society
Producing credible knowledge with usefulness for business and society

Which of the following is one of the responsibilities to society?

Prioritizing individual career advancement
Observe norms of transparency and integrity
Generate knowledge for solving business and societal problems
Assess the risk of wrongful conclusions

Which of the following is one of the responsibilities to science?

Produce reliable and repeatable discoveries and findings
Use research resources responsibly
Impact on Stakeholders
Pursue science to improve the lives of humanity

Which of the following is not one of the Seven Principles of The Responsible Research in Business & Management (RRBM)?

Pluralistic & Multi- Disciplinary Collaborations
Broad Dissemination
Sound Methodology
Limited Stakeholder Engagement
