Introduction to Methods to Improve Our Field

It is our pleasure to introduce Volume 14 of the Research Methodology in Strategy and Management (RMSM) book series. This volume comes at a time when public confidence in science and scientific research has been shaken by questions of replicability (e.g., Shrout & Rodgers, 2018) and questionable research practices (e.g., Banks et al., 2016). Research methods feature centrally in these concerns and so play an important role in restoring confidence in scientific research. Being a field with considerable potential for deriving practical implications from our research, addressing these challenges and the role of research methods in solving them head-on is critical.
