Methodological choices for research into interactive learning

Methodological Challenges for Collaborative Learning Research

Methodological choices of HR research conducted in Asia

A twenty-year study of the Human Resource (HR) practices–outcome relationship has found that more rigorous methodologies have been adopted over time. However, several problematic features such as cross-sectional, single-informant, and single-level designs continue to be adopted (Bainbridge et al., Human Resource Management, 2016). Responding to calls for increased contextualization of research ...

New Climate Economics: Methodological choices and recommendations

Projections of future impacts, benefits and costs of climate mitigation and adaptation policies are based on both detailed empirical research, and modelling choices and assumptions that frame the analysis. For instance, assumptions about the expected growth of population and incomes drive the projections of greenhouse gas emissions. Assumptions about the pace and nature of innovation, the econo...

Theory development for explaining foreign market expansion The methodological choices

The grounded-theory methodology (GT) was developed for generating theory where little is already known, or for providing fresh insight into existing knowledge. Inherent in it is a strong intellectual rationale for using qualitative research to develop theoretical analysis. The basis of grounded theory is the careful and systematic study of the relationships between individual experience and soc...

Methodological choices for the clinical development of medical devices

Clinical evidence available for the assessment of medical devices (MDs) is frequently insufficient. New MDs should be subjected to high quality clinical studies to demonstrate their benefit to patients. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the study design reaching the highest level of evidence in order to demonstrate the efficacy of a new MD. However, the clinical context of some MDs makes...
