Your research methodology is being questioned by a key stakeholder. How will you defend its validity?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

When your research methodology comes under scrutiny from a key stakeholder, it's crucial to robustly defend its validity. This situation can arise from misunderstandings, differing expectations, or genuine concerns about the approach's rigor and relevance. As a research manager, you must be prepared to address these concerns head-on, presenting a clear, evidence-based argument to reinforce the credibility of your methodology. This involves a deep understanding of your research design, its alignment with the objectives, and the ability to communicate its strengths effectively.

1 Clarify Purpose

When facing questions about your methodology, start by reiterating the research objectives. Ensure that your stakeholder understands the purpose behind your chosen methods. Explain how each element of your methodology is designed to achieve specific outcomes and how it aligns with the overall goals of the research. By linking your methods to clear objectives, you demonstrate intentionality and strategic thinking, which can reassure stakeholders that the research design is well-considered and appropriate for the questions at hand.

Next, provide a detailed rationale for your chosen methods. Discuss why these methods are the most suitable for addressing the research questions and how they compare to alternative approaches. If you're using qualitative methods, explain their value in gaining deeper insights. For quantitative methods, highlight their ability to provide measurable and generalizable data. This demonstrates your comprehensive understanding of various research techniques and justifies your selection based on the study's specific needs.

As I have said before, I was never trained in formal resarches as it is done in higher institutions or university. I am not even keen on formal training of any kind. This is not favourable with my nature or destiny. I have tried all this in the past,but realized that quest for true knowledge is scarce in the world. Most often supervisors have personal and other ulterior motives in supervising you. My nature ( humbly said) hates dishonesty , I cant stand scam and deceit and other forms of strife. My intention is to do what I am doing at the moment and live the rest to God. I am human, I am willing to learn.
