Hi Lemon_tea, There are two approaches on strategy research: 1) from perspective of organizational behavior, and 2) of quantitative methods, namely, statisitcs and mathmetical models. For example, what strategy is better for a developing country - to welcome foreign investment or to have self-strength? You can easily give some examples for both cases like Singapore and Thailand for the first and Sri Lanka for the second. It does not make sense if you conclude one is preferable to the other on the basis of examples you listed. In fact, you should use statistical methods to indicate that your conclusion is more than 95% chance true. In other words, less than 5% chance so because of by chance. It would be perfect if you can build a mathematical model to illustrate what you find out. This type of researches are the most appreciated in the academic world as mathmetics is the most logic language. Or you can go another direction from the organizational behavior perspective. For instance, the research topic can be whether the company performs well if the CEO is paid more than the industry average? Actually you still cannot avoid statistical methods but pay more attention to the sociology, psychology, and politics. Hope my reply answers your question. |
