[@PatrickMuhire]

Thank you very much for your lessons ! Which Reference book do you recommend for research methodologies

[@drjthesising1017]

Hi Patrick! I'm so glad you are finding value in these lessons. Research methodologies differ from subject to subject. E.g. for a business student a good book, would be Saunders et al. 2009 + which is aptly titled Research Methods for Business Students. In my research, I mainly use academic papers on various research methodologies to assist with identifying the best course of action. Once you know which methods you would like to do, you can find specific papers speaking only on that specific method.

[@wala3184]

Great Dr J. Thanks for this informative video. Could you please tell me if the interpretivism philosophy consistent with abductive research approach or I have to adopt the inductive approach?

[@drjthesising1017]

Hi Wala! I'm glad you found this tutorial informative! We subscribe to interpretivism when we need to take context into consideration to solve our research problem. So, your research problem will dictate which philosophical stance you need to adopt. As for which strategy (inductive or abductive) to adopt, that is also based on the problem you would like to solve. There is not a hard and fast rule that states if you subscribe to interpretivism you have to adopt a deductive or abductive approach. If your study requires you to provide tentative explanations or to make sense of a situation because there are not appropriate explanations in existing literature, then abduction can be quite useful. But, if that is not what you are doing then another approach would be more appropriate.

Enjoyed it. Love from Pakistan.

[@mbulelomthi5245]

I’m hooked and I’m not doing or about to do any research 😀

[@drjthesising1017]

This is why I love research so much. There isn't a single aspect thereof that is solely confined to the realm of "research".

[@imdamianofc__]
