Understanding the relationships between fields of research (2021)
Journal Article
Basden, A. (2021). Understanding the relationships between fields of research. Electronic Journal of Business Research Methods, 19(1), 27-41. https://doi.org/10.34190/ejbrm.19.1.2125

This paper suggests how mutual understanding and respect may be fostered between very different fields of research, which seem to have little in common. The meaning and value of each field, and the relationships among them, are revealed using Dooyewe... Read More about Understanding the relationships between fields of research.
