The Process of Building Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some scholars of management, organizations and markets expend significant energy disparaging and defending various research methods. Debates about deductive vs. inductive theory-building; casebased information versus large-sample data; and qualitative versus quantitative research are dichotomies that surface almost daily in the lives of those of us who conduct research and review the work of others. This paper asserts that some of this conflict might evolve toward cooperation if we better understood the process by which bodies of understanding are built within communities of researchers.

متن کاملAN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients
This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...
