Slide 5 - Methodology Details

The slide outlines a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative surveys of innovation practices across 500 firms in Latin America and Asia with qualitative case studies and 20 semi-structured interviews for in-depth insights, enhancing validity through triangulation (Guerrero et al., 2019). Data collection occurred from 2015-2018 via online questionnaires and recorded interviews, achieving a 25% response rate, with details in Table 2 (p. 458).

Methodology Details

Mixed-Methods ApproachSample Size and Data Collection
The study employs a mixed-methods design, integrating quantitative surveys with qualitative case studies. Surveys assess innovation practices across firms in Latin America and Asia, while case studies provide in-depth insights into contextual factors. This triangulation enhances validity (Guerrero et al., 2019, p. 456).Quantitative data from 500 firms (response rate: 25%); qualitative component includes 20 semi-structured interviews with key informants. Data collected between 2015-2018. Table 2 (p. 458) outlines methods: surveys via online questionnaires, interviews recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis.
