"Investigator triangulation: This involves the use of multipleresearchers. The use of multiple investigators is quiteuseful for illustrating how the subjectivity of theresearchers has an impact on the results that are producedespecially when interpretive (constructionist) research isundertaken.Interdisciplinary triangulation: This involves the use ofmulti-disciplinary research. People from differentprofessional or academic backgrounds participate in thesame research but using their own ‘disciplinary lenses’.Although this is not a common approach in some areas ofbusiness research, it can be quite valuable for researcherswho work in collaborative or multi-disciplinaryenvironments such as health and social care.21Dr Nataliya Shiraz 2016/17 Whichever mode of triangulation is used, you must considerahead of data collection how you will synthesise the results. Youneed to consider:?the relationship between the questions asked. The questionsmust be constructed in such a way as to allow you to connectthe responses and relate them back to the research question andthe literature.?the order in which the different sets of data will be gathered.You should also think about how each data set will be analysed;?how the data is synthesised to produce a coherent discussion ofthe results.22Dr Nataliya Shiraz 2016/17 ? Positivists are usually associated with what isknown as the deductive approach to research,while Interpretivistsare associated with aninductive approach to research? Deductive approach to research starts with existingtheory and then proceeds by testing hypothesesderived from the theory by means of experiment orsystematic observation. Deductive approach toresearch usually involves quantitative researchmethods.? Inductive research starts with observations andderives theories from these to generate newinsights and understanding. Inductive approach toresearch usually involves qualitative researchmethods.Dr Nataliya Shiraz 2016/17 23 Dr Nataliya Shiraz 2016/17 24 "
