  • Methodological fit in management Field Research
    Academy of Management Review, 2007
    Co-Authors: Andrew C. Edmondson, Stacy E. Mcmanus
    Abstract:

    Methodological fit, an implicitly valued attribute of high-quality Field Research in organizations, has received little attention in the management literature. Fit refers to internal consistency among elements of a Research project—Research question, prior work, Research design, and theoretical contribution. We introduce a contingency framework that relates prior work to the design of a Research project, paying particular attention to the question of when to mix qualitative and quantitative data in a single Research paper. We discuss implications of the framework for educating new Field Researchers.

  • Rapid Rural Appraisal: Teaching Undergraduates Field Research in Rural México
    Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, 2003
    Co-Authors: Charles W. Jarrett, David M. Lucas
    Abstract:

    Principles of ethnographic Research, rural sociology, and interpersonal communication formed the basis of a collaborative study between Mexican and/or Hispanic and U.S. undergraduates. Students from both cultures learned to apply principles of qualitative Research under the direction of faculty from the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey and Ohio University. Rapid rural appraisal, a methodology appropriate for multidisciplinary Research, was used to assess the attitudes of a rural population relative to socioeconomic and political issues. Undergraduates learned principles of Field Research within the context of a practical and informative pedagogical exercise.

  • Standards for Field Research in Management Accounting
    Journal of Management Accounting Research, 1998
    Co-Authors: Anthony A. Atkinson, William Shaffir
    Abstract:

    This paper begins with a discussion of the nature of qualitative Research and then turns to consider the nature and characteristics of Field Research. The paper discusses the major insights and benefits of Field Research and three critical steps in Field Research: observing behavior, summarizing observations, and reporting results. Of particular concern in the observation step is the potential for bias being introduced either by the act of observation itself or through the observational framework that the Researcher imposes on the Fieldwork. In evaluating results, the Researcher must be careful to ensure, to the extent possible, that the work has met the critical tests of validity and reliability. Finally in reporting results, the analysis, discussion, and conclusion should reflect the logical criteria of relevance, sufficiency, and acceptability. The paper concludes with a summary of proposed Field Research standards organized by Field Research stage.
