Objectives
The overall aim of the project from which these resources were derived was to enhance good practice in the use of qualitative methods in management research. To achieve this aim, the objectives were to
- Conduct a systematic investigation into current perceptions of qualitative methods in management research, including perceived barriers to their use
- Identify perceptions of good practice in conducting qualitative management research
- Identify current assessment criteria for qualitative management research
- Ascertain perceptions of skill deficits in this area and the factors viewed as contributing to these deficits
- Develop appropriate assessment criteria for qualitative management research which take into account different epistemological commitments
- Develop materials and training workshops to encourage informed and reflexive practice in qualitative management research.
The materials archived here are primarily presentations from the series of project workshops (see Archived Documents link).
