EVALUATING THE REFLECTION OF QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS IN MANAGEMENT STUDIES AND THE IGNORANCE OF THE QUALITATIVE DESIGN BY THE POSITIVIST TRADITION
It should firstly be noted that this study, which was initially not constructed as a research article, is grounded on personal impressions acquired in the academic world over years. The purpose of this study is to reveal quantitative and qualitative studies published in Turkey. To this end, the stud...
