Judgment Calls in ResearchA term borrowed from sport, a judgment call is a decision that must be made without a fixed, objective rule. The authors highlight the discrepancies between what a researcher should do by textbook standards, and what researchers actually do. They offer ideas for dealing with difficult decisions about how to proceed when undertaking organizational research. |
