Publishing Mixed-Methods Studies: Challenges and Opportunities

At this symposium, experts in the field of management who employ mixed-methods in their research will discuss the importance of mixed- methods and how scholars can effectively utilize them to contribute to the field. The panelists will share their experiences with various mixed-methods approaches, including field experiments, surveys, ethnography, and the iteration between inductive and deductive processes. Topics covered during the symposium will include the challenges and opportunities associated with mixed-methods, best practices, distinctions between the roles played by different methods, narratives and testimonies, possible evaluative criteria for assessing mixed-methods studies, and editorial and reviewer perspectives.

The goal of the symposium is to provide participants with a better understanding of mixed-methods and the factors that can enhance the chances of publishing such studies in top-tier journals.
