5. The confirmation bias

This chapter maintains that research practices in business studies are regularly fraught with confirmation bias. The author discusses four research strategies based on a typology built from combining two dimensions: inductive-deductive and opaque-transparent research practices. Seeking to provide guidance on how to preempt dubious research practices, this chapter comments on alternative research strategies informative for doctoral research and supervision.
