Multi-methods Approach in Entrepreneurship Research: Triangulation in Action

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to apply the experience from a study conducted on entrepreneurial intention among university students with regard to the effective use of triangulation in entrepreneurship research. It applies the knowledge acquired to address issues such as inconsistencies, contradictions, and biases when using the single method. It was also used to develop a framework for research by adopting triangulation. The study discussed issues such as design and the whys and how’s of triangulation. It is hoped that the study will help future researchers who adopt triangulation to produce quality work and make informed judgements that lead to completeness. Finally, it would be interesting to researchers who always want to be up-to-date in academic research
