This is a guest post by Michael Chavous, Associate Professor of Management at the University of Iowa, who has been teaching and applying qualitative research methods to organizations for the last 20 years.
He has a new book coming out, Qualitative Inquiry: Exploring the Limits of Knowledge, from Harvard Business Publishing. It’s been a long time coming, and I’d be interested to hear about it.

As this book is a reference work, many of the ideas in it are applicable to research in any field. It also talks about the research that can be done in less than five minutes. I’m talking about it being five minutes for the most part, but it can be done in less time if the researcher is willing to invest some time in the research.
I’m sure lots of people think, “well, what’s five minutes compared to a whole day?” Well, the difference between the time it takes for you to type a blog post and to read it and the time it takes to write a book is probably more than that. So if you’re going to spend that much time on a topic, you might as well do it right.
I think the research design idea is the easiest way for you to get some research done. You just need a few minutes of your time to get the research done. As for the rest of the ideas, I think they are all good, but they are all better with some additional research. If you cant say what you are doing, you cant say what the research is on. So a little background research is always a good idea.
One of the best ways to get research done is to ask someone else to do it. One of the best ways to get research done is to ask someone else to do it.
I think what we have seen from this particular research is that we didn’t go with a traditional method of research. We are not using traditional qualitative methods. We are not using qualitative instruments. We are using a combination of various methods.

One of the problems with research is that you don’t know what the answers are. This is one of the reasons that qualitative research is done, because it helps you determine what the answers are. The problem is that you don’t know what they are.
