There are typical or common research methodologies used in project management research work. However, there is no one-size-fits all approach to strategizing and designing research methodology. It is now increasingly common in contemporary project management research settings to combine different methods and inquiry approaches in practice. This is because the project management context and environment are usually complex and, at times, might require a breadth and depth of exploration or explanation to capture a more integrated and holistic way of understanding the phenomenon under study. Depending on the research purpose, scope, and questions, the study might require an appropriate and synergistic application of more than one methodology. This chapter explores the various strategies that a researcher might decide to undertake in their mixed or multi-methods research design to address their unique research questions about project management to fulfil the aims of their research study.
