Description of research methods
| Research method | Description |
|---|---|
| Theoretical and conceptual literature review | Development of a conceptual framework based on theory, standalone literature review, formulation of hypothesis and practical applications are often lacking |
| Case study | Examination of a phenomenon within its real-life context, investigating and verifying results in practice |
| Questionnaire/survey/interview | Questionnaires, interviews, collection of factual data about a subject, a research subject |
| Quantitative/mathematical/analytical model | Simple numeric analysis (e.g. mean, percentage and standard deviation, etc.), as well as more sophisticated analysis (e.g. linear regression, analytical model, simulation), are used |
| Simulation | Experiments on the reaction of a model, software programs and techniques |
