Lors de la réalisation d'une thèse pour l'obtention d'un Doctorate in Business Administration (Doctorat en administration des affaires), appelé DBA, nombreux sont les doctorants qui choisissent la recherche qualitative pour concrétiser ce projet. Or, positionner dans un champ disciplinaire, déterminer, choisir, mettre en oeuvre et contextualiser de manière judicieuse une démarche méthodologique de recherche qualitative est crucial pour la réussite du travail de recherche et de la thèse de DBA. Les onze chapitres de ce livre ont été préparés à l'attention des candidats, candidates en DBA afin d'illustrer la mise au point de démarches de recherches qualitatives. Chaque chapitre constitue un témoignage qui permet de donner corps et vie à la recherche qualitative telle que pratiquée dans les nombreuses disciplines en sciences de gestion : en stratégie, contrôle de gestion, marketing, management des systèmes d'information, finance, management des ressources humaines, théorie des organisations, et en recherche pluridisciplinaire. Rédigés pour rendre les contenus accessibles et favoriser leur appropriation par les lecteurs, ces chapitres proposent un exposé sur le positionnement disciplinaire, les étapes méthodologiques, la production des résultats, et la formulation de recommandations, en particulier, managériales. Ce livre s'inscrit dans la collection Fondamentaux du DBA du Business Science Institute pour guider le travail académique des doctorants dans leur parcours de formation scientifique. Il est un complément incontournable du livre paru en 2018, et dirigé par les mêmes coordonnateurs, Les méthodes de recherche du DBA

When doing a thesis for a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA), many doctoral candidates choose qualitative research as an approach to complete their project. However, positioning a qualitative research approach in a disciplinary field, determining, choosing, implementing and contextualizing it in a judicious manner is crucial for the success of the research work and of the DBA thesis. This book has been prepared for DBA candidates to illustrate the development of qualitative research approaches. Each chapter provides a voice regarding qualitative research as it is practiced in many management science disciplines, including strategy, management accounting and control, marketing, information systems management, finance, human resources management, organizational theory, and multidisciplinary research. Written to make the content accessible and to facilitate its appropriation by the readers, these chapters each offer a presentation of their disciplinary positioning, their methodological steps, the production of their results, and the formulation of their managerial recommendations more specifically. This book is part of the Business Science Institute's DBA Fundamentals series to guide the academic work of doctoral candidates in their DBA scientific training curriculum. It is a musthave companion to the 2019 book by the same editors, Research Methods for the DBA.

The thesis completed as part of the Doctorate in Business Administration, called the DBA, requires the candidate to choose from a wide range of research methods and tools so this project can become reality. Determining, choosing, implementing and contextualizing research methods and tools are all crucial steps for the success of the research work undertaken as part of the DBA thesis. The 30 chapters of this book have been prepared to the attention of DBA candidates, to orient and guide them in choosing research methods and tools. The first part raises the question of the choice of research methods; the second one deals with data collection methods; the third part focuses on data analysis methods; and the fourth surveys the contextualization of methods. Written so as to ensure contents are accessible and to foster learning, the chapters provide the foundations and resources to guide methodological choices. This book is the English augmented edition of the French edition published as part of the Business Science Institute collection. The aim is to produce reference books to guide the academic work of doctoral candidates in the scientific training curriculum of the DBA. The first collective book published in 2015, The Creation of Knowledge by Managers (available in French), aimed to establish the main guidelines for this new role assumed by managers in management practice: that of new knowledge producers. Also part of the collection, the book How to Successfully Complete Your DBA?, aims to guide the research elaboration and execution of the DBA thesis.
