This workshop explores the use of qualitative research approaches in traditionally quantitatively focused business environments. Management research is dominated by quantitative approaches in environments that are often driven by traditionally hard, measurable, results-focused business management. The workshop considers the qualitative alternative.
Qualitative approaches can be valuable in developing professional understanding and in making a contribution to knowledge, understanding and management praxis through a combination of the subject matter, the context, and the approach taken to collect and interpret qualitative research material.
This workshop draws on the presenters' experiences as professionals outside academia who have graduated on DBA programmes and reflects on the respective research methodologies with which they worked.
