Event details
This workshop provides an understanding of abductive research and its application to qualitative research projects, such as research designs, employing case studies and interviews. It aims to cover key aspects such as: how to collect quality data for rigorous qualitative projects, appropriate sampling, and an introduction to (basics on) data analysis techniques. The workshop will draw upon Raisa’s experience of completing reviews for two of her recently published articles in ABS 3* Industrial Marketing Management. Raisa used an abductive research approach to craft these two papers from the same dataset involving case study research with Australian retail franchises. Yakimova et al. (2021) was accepted for publication within a week after submitting the second round of revisions.
Yakimova et al. (2021) The ‘visible hand’ behind cooperation in franchising: A model of franchisor practices that influence cooperation within social networks, Industrial Marketing Management, 94, pp. 66-89.
