“…More than 35 years since Guba (1981) first proposed this criterion, it is still subject to considerable controversy. For example, Erlandson et al (1993), like Gomm, Hammersley and Foster (2000) argue that since by definition, interpretivist research is context-specific, with regard to locale and participants, generalizability of the findings of research conducted within the Interpretivist paradigm is practically impossible.…”

The concept of research paradigm is one that many higher degree research students, and even early career researchers, find elusive to articulate, and challenging to apply in their research proposals. Adopting an ethnographic and hermeneutic methodology, the present paper draws upon our experiences as lecturers in Research Methods over many years, and upon pertinent literature to explain the meaning of research paradigm. The paper elucidates the key aspects of research paradigms that researchers should understand well to be able to address this concept adequately in their research proposals. It offers suggestions on how researchers can locate their research into a paradigm and the justification needed for paradigm choice. With the explicit purpose of helping higher degree research (HDR) students design effective research proposals, the paper also discusses the different research methodologies best suited to conduct research in each of the paradigms discussed.

“…Embora tais resultados tenham sido obtidos a partir da investigação de um único caso, generalizações teóricas podem ser derivadas e sujeitas à verificação empírica, desde que com os devidos cuidados (GOMM; HAMMERSLEY; FOSTER, 2009;TSANG, 2014).…”

Revista hospedada em: www.periodicosibepes.org.br Forma de avaliação: double blind review Esta revista é (e sempre foi) eletrônica para ajudar a proteger o meio ambiente, mas, caso deseje imprimir esse artigo, saiba que ele foi editorado com uma fonte mais ecológica, a Eco Sans, que gasta menos tinta.This journal is (and has always been) electronic in order to be more environmentally friendly. Now, it is desktop edited in a single column to be easier to read on the screen. However, if you wish to print this paper, be aware that it uses Eco Sans, a printing font that reduces the amount of required ink. ABSTRACTAlthough the literature on business-IT alignment is substantial, longitudinal studies on the social aspects of the alignment process are still relatively scarce. In this paper, we identify the social factors related to the characteristics and processes of multifunctional work groups that influence the process of operationally aligning IT services and business demands in organizations. To this end, we conducted an in-depth qualitative research on a self-managed cross-functional team composed of business and IT representatives who dealt with systems requirements in a multinational aeronautics turbine maintenance company in Brazil. We assessed the elements of Cohen and Bailey's (1997) group efficacy model, the roles described by Mathieu et al. (2015), as well the level of operational alignment in that context, over the years the team had been meeting. Our results highlight the importance of team characteristics and processes for the development of business-IT operational alignment.

“…After data gathering and analysis, theoretical frameworks which explain the examined phenomenon had to be developed by abstracting the collected information from the case in question [25]. By focusing on principles that regularly occur under certain circumstances, while ignoring aspects that are specific to the case in question [26], we generalized our results into a generic framework that explains how to grasp the cultural influence in technology development.…”

Background: The wider background to this article is the shift in the energy paradigm from fossil energy sources to renewable sources which should occur in the twenty-first century. This transformation requires the development of alternative energy technologies that enable the deployment of renewable energy sources in transportation, heating, and electricity. Among others, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies have the potential to fulfill this requirement and to contribute to a sustainable and emission-free transport and energy system. However, whether they will ever reach broad societal acceptance will not only depend on technical issues alone. The aim of our study is to reveal the importance of nontechnical issues. Therefore, the article at hand presents a case study of hydrogen and fuel cells in Germany and aims at highlighting the cultural context that affects their development.
