Mixed Methods in Strategy and Organizations Research - Dr. Scott Turner

Tashakkori and Teddlie (1998) argue that mixed methods research is justified on the
basis of a _____ paradigm.

Why use a mixed methods approach?

All methods are inherently flawed so using multiple methods can offset the flaws that are inherent to particular methods
Provides a more comprehensive evidence for a research problem
Opportunity to answer questions that cannot be answered by qualitative or quantitative approaches alone
All of the above

Mixed methods may be particularly well-suited for studying research domains that are at the ______ stage?

What order best describes a convergent design?

What order best describes an exploratory sequential design?

What order best describes an explanatory sequential design?

How are you supposed to prioritize the approach in a mixed methods study?

What is convergent triangulation?

Purpose is the theory development, and spans at least two categories of methodological purpose.
Spans both categories of theoretical purpose and at least two categories of methodological purpose.
Either (a) multiple methods are brought together for the purpose of testing the same theory, or (b) one method focuses on developing theory, and the other ob theory testing.
All of the above

What is holistic triangulation?

Purpose is the theory development, and spans at least two categories of methodological purpose.
Spans both categories of theoretical purpose and at least two categories of methodological purpose.
Either (a) multiple methods are brought together for the purpose of testing the same theory, or (b) one method focuses on developing theory, and the other ob theory testing.
All of the above

Good mixed methods work needs to strike a productive balance between divergence
and commonality across the methods.
