Using Mixed Methods To Evaluate The Role And Contribution Of Disciplined Innovation Processes (Dips) For Start-Up Growth And Development., Saad Ahmed, Anthony Paul Buckley, Francis Behan
Conference papers
According to Ohr and Frank-Mattes (2017), there appears to be limited knowledge or appreciation of disciplined innovation frameworks, tools or techniques for the scale-up phase of commercialisation, especially from those with technical backgrounds.
The research questions in this study therefore asks: Can a more disciplined approach to the innovation process make a positive contribution to improved commercialisation outcomes for start-ups and corporate venturing? Additionally, it asks if this disciplined process can be configured into a reliable and repeatable process across multiple contexts?
For complex research questions such as this, quantitative or qualitative research approaches alone cannot adequately address these questions. …
Using Sequential Mixed Methods To Evaluate The Contribution Of Absorptive Capacity (Acap), Anthony Paul Buckley, Francis Martin Behan
Using Sequential Mixed Methods To Evaluate The Contribution Of Absorptive Capacity (Acap), Anthony Paul Buckley, Francis Martin Behan
Conference papers
How might Absorptive Capacity (ACAP) (Cohen & Levinthal 1990,,Song et al. 2018) contribute to indigenous firm innovation and growth and how might the effects of this construct be evaluated at both firm and policy level? This paper demonstrates how a mixed methods research design and data analysis strategy can address the research question outlined above. Within the ‘mixed methods’ research genre, the design approach argued for here is for a ‘sequential mixed methods research’ approach. This is where one methodology is followed sequentially by another to add robustness to the overall findings from a study. The approach can also be …
