Quality Research for Mike An Illustrative Case Study...

Introduction The three research methodology paradigms are quantitative research, qualitative research and mixed research. Each of these paradigms uses different methods for research and collects different types of data. A quantitative research relies primarily on the collection of quantitative data while a qualitative research relies on the collection of qualitative data. A mixed research involves mixing quantitative and qualitative methods.

For example, the study reviewed is an example of an illustrative case study. These types of case studies are used to describe or show what a situation is like. They are used to help interpret other data, especially if readers know little about the event, experience or program. Illustrative case studies help make unfamiliar things more familiar. They also must adequately represent the experience or program (Davey, 1991). The researcher in â€Å"Mike: An Illustrative Case Study†, used an illustrative case study of qualitative methodology in the study. The study clearly uses some of the characteristics of a case study such as the study does not pose to prove a specific hypothesis but rather to describe a particular experience of the student referred to as Mike. The case study began with the background information which led to the experience Mike had at EBCE. The study focused on the experiences and successes Mike had during his first year at EBCE. The study reviewed had omitted Mike’s second year at EBCE and then continued with the collection of various type of data. The experience of Mik e was somewhat confusing to understand.

Not surprisingly, the future price a product will support is a primary driver of variability in its expected NPV. Because of the important role pricing plays, firm research efforts to reduce price-related uncertainty increase as the product moves through the developmental pipeline. This process often exceeds a decade, beginning with drug discovery in pre-clinical trials, moving through phases I, II, and III, andRead MoreCase Study for Management Accounting36918 Words   |  148 PagesCASES FROM MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES Table of Contents Case 1: Case 2: Bal Seal Engineering Robin Cooper Bill’s Custom Planters William Stammerjohan Deborah Seifert Dublin Shirt Company Peter Clarke in assoc. with in assoc. with Paul Juras Wayne Bremser ECN.W William Lawler Endesa Gary M.
