A good practice of academical research on business management proceeds as followed :
- get/create/have an idea
- collect and review literature
- assess whether the idea has been explored before
- design the idea
- interview a couple of emblematic CEOs
- revisit the idea design
- give the idea design a distinctive name
- write a draft article and have it reviewed by trusted collegues
- leverage the brand of the academic institution to gather a community
- write a survey
- launch the survey at the community
- collect the data
- made a quantitative analysis
- submit the results at a symposium
- publish a final article in a prestigious research magazine
- compensate the communuity by sending highlights of the research
What new practices might develop in a digital paradigme ?
We think that one of them might be "Open Blended Research".
