MGHD27H3 Study Guide - Internal Validity, Dependent And Independent Variables
Document Summary
evidence-based management : involves translating principles based on the best scientific evidence into organizational practices. compared to decisions made based on personal preference and unsystematic experience, the use of evidence-based management is more likely to result in the attainment of organizational goals. This provides a systematic framework: objective characteristic: the researcher keeps a careful ongoing record of the events that he/she observes, either as they occur or as soon as possible afterwards. He/she understands the dangers of influencing the behaviour of those whom he/she is observing and is trained to draw reasonable conclusions from his/her observations. This ensures objectivity: a case study summarizes observational research outcomes and specifies the nature of the organization, people and events studied, the particular role of and techniques used by the observer, the research questions, and the events observed. Interview: a technique in which the researcher asks respondents a series of questions to gather data on the variables of interest.
