This workshop aims at giving a wider outlook at various perspectives on research and research
methods within the last 10 - 15 years within this field. A more detailed presentation will be

Three international researchers, Professor Irvine Lapsley, Professor Hanne Nörreklit and

The workshop will also provide an opportunity for doctoral students to present and discuss

participants who focus on other empirical fields, using both qualitative and quantitative
methods.
