- Summary:
- All researchers want to produce interesting and influential theories. A key step in all theory development is formulating innovative research questions that will result in interesting and significant research. In this text, Alvesson and Sandberg develop a methodology for identifying and challenging assumptions underlying existing theories and generating research questions, using examples from across the social sciences. They show the dangers of conventional approaches, providing detailed ideas for how one can formulate novel research questions that challenge existing theories and produce more imaginative empirical studies.
