Perspectives: Sanders textbook on
writing research papers
- Theory: ‘A formulation regarding the cause and effect
relationships between two or more variables, which
may or may not have been tested’
- includes: "a plausible, coherent explanation
for why certain relationships should be
expected in our data."
- theory is clearly enmeshed in practice since explanation
enables prediction which in turn enables control
- includes: "a plausible, coherent explanation
for why certain relationships should be
expected in our data."
- Your research topic (chapter 2)
- Generating ideas through rational and
creative methods
- Ensure symmetry of potential
outcomes: each result has equal
value, no matter what you find
out. (p23)
- other important elements: it is interesting,
feasible within time, budget and abilities, data
is accessible, results will be current and useful
after project completion.

- Pick 3 projects you like and 3 you dislike. Ask about each:
1) what appeals to you / do you dislike about it? 2) What is
good/bad about it? 3) Why is it good/bad?

- Business research: sometimes too
practical. Research should close the
gap between theory and practice.
- p.8 "Van De Ven and Johnson propose a method of
engaged scholarship in which researchers and
practitioners coproduce knowledge that can advance
theory and practice in a given domain."
- Our project: "in-depth investigation of an
organisation within the context of a wider
understanding of the processes that are
operating." p.8
