“…was followed [44]. The pure positivist approach is that truth can always be discerned from untruth, and that the truth can be discerned either by deduction or by empirical support and by no other means [45]. The interpretivist model is that that an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon may only be gained by studying it in context from the participants' perspectives [46].…”

“…Jankowicz (1991) claims that appropriate research methods and techniques depend on the research problem and its purpose. Qualitative research methods compared to quantitative technique are more suitable for studying organizations, groups and individuals (Strauss & Corbin, 1990) when the objectives of the study demands in-depth insight into a phenomenon (Ghauri, Gronhaug & Kristianslund, 1995).…”

Knowledge sharing through cross-border strategic alliances has been seen by firms as one of the critical strategies to pursue sustainable competitive advantage. However, empirical investigations on how knowledge sharing occurs in strategic alliances are limited and are rarely concerned with strategic alliances in the higher education industry. Based on an empirical investigation of China-UK educational alliances, this research sheds light on this under explored area. Findings reveal that the scale of academic and organizational knowledge sharing is affected by knowledge attributes and partner characteristics. While knowledge sharing in China-UK higher education alliances displays numerous similarities with that occurring in other industries, this study reveals features that are distinct to this important and increasingly international sector. In so doing, this paper offers valuable insights for managers and policy makers concerned with the internationalisation of higher education.

“…Wengraf (2001) and Jankowicz (1992) state that semi-structured interviews assist when the story related to a participant's experience is desired. As the literature review has indicated, for instance, Van de Ven et al's studies (1999) and Pavitt's (2003) propositions, the journey tends to be informal and undefined.…”

This thesis studies the management of the internal innovation process.Innovation is considered critical to success in business today, yet companies do not always unlock the value contained within innovations. The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the practical systems currently employed by companies and to gain insight into the activities leading to successful innovation outcomes. The expectation is that a more structured approach to innovation management would deliver greater effectiveness to realising innovation value.A multiple case study strategy was utilised comparing and analysing three companies' existing innovation-to-outcome systems, with Rogers' Innovation Decision Process model adopted to ground the study. The findings advance knowledge of innovation system events and related features with results revealing two main innovation systems as consistent across the companies studied. There is a basic system for realising incremental innovation as a consequence of an organisation's ethos for continuous improvement. The second is a more complex system for radical innovations. This second system supplements the basic version by providing safeguards against the risk inherent nature of this type of innovation.The research indicates that a successful innovation-to-outcome system does not operate in isolation. Rather it appears that there is a link between companies' operating environments and the effective realisation of innovation value. Further, the results suggest that for such companies successful unlocking of innovation value can lead to growth. This in turn requires formalising innovation systems to sustain innovation activities. This study offers an emerging input/output model drawing on insights and referencing patterns associated with best practice. The model provides a basis for companies to formalise the management of their innovation activities.iii
