“…The use of the mixed method approach, or the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods, can compensate for the downsides of each individual research method (Axinn & Pearce, 2006). Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods provides a way to triangulate the findings and determine if the interpretations made or the information collected are truly accurate and representative of the participants.…”

“…It has also been noted (Axinn & Pearce, 2006) that combining qualitative and quantitative research can help a researcher illustrate relationships in his or her investigation. Rather than simply interpreting the information gained from interviews, a researcher can also use the data collected from surveys of those same people to show that certain variables are related to the larger issue being examined.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the application of the business risk audit (BRA) approach within non-Big-4 audit firms in the USA, the UK and Canada. This paper focuses on the motivation for adopting this approach for non-Big-4 audit firms in the three countries, and the advantages, disadvantages and aftermath of applying this method. Design/methodology/approach – A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to obtain the data necessary to address the research questions was used. Findings – It is found that non-Big-4 audit firms in the three countries have adopted BRA; their motivation was primarily to follow the standards in each country, and the general trend in the industry. The advantages identified are consistent with previous research; a direct benefit was noted for audit effectiveness and risk management for both clients and auditors. One major disadvantage of applying BRA is the cost burden to both the audit firm and their clients. Some of the interviewees claimed that this method is better suited to large firms and large audits. Originality/value – This is an innovative study that addresses a contemporary auditing issue. The majority of the audit research studies concentrate on the big audit firm practices; this study is the first to examine the application of audit practices within smaller audit firms.

“…Likewise, focus group interviews are among one of the most widely used qualitative research tools in social sciences studies. A probable benefit of this approach is that interviewees may feel greater confidence in a group setting, which may encourage them to offer comments and discuss matters they would not in a one-on-one interview (Axinn & Pearce, 2006).…”

“…Importantly, electronic data collection methods facilitate the data entry process. While these methods have the potential to revolutionalize conventional paper -and-pencil diary techniques (Axinn and Pearce, 2006), researches should keep in mind the need to provide participants with proper training to overcome computer illiteracy. Lately, researchers have developed smartphone apps programmed to function as diaries (Miller, 2012).…”

Research on joint decision -making processes in households is particularly relevant for marketing, especially for understanding who decides what to buy in purchasing decisions and how decision processes evolve. However, the investigation of such complex processes requires adequate research methods to account for the dynamics in close relationships. We provide a critical overview of past research in the arena of economic decision -making among couples, concentrating on methodological issues. After describing different types of decisions we proceed by describing findings on interaction dynamics, including the nature and occurrence of conflicts. In reviewing relationship structures we focus on the dimensions of harmony and power. The descriptive process model utilized includes the partners' use of influence tactics, as well as the emergence of utility debts at the end of a decision -making process. Reviewing the adequacy of various research methods, observational and survey techniques are discussed as conventional psychological research methods. The Vienna Partner Diary is introduced as novel method and suggested as being useful for collecting data on the complex interaction processes in the everyday life of couples.
