Following thirty years of discussion of the “glass ceiling,” recent empirical research has focused on the relatively new phenomenon of women on the board of directors – the so-called “glass cliff.” This refers to a form of gender discrimination in which women are more often appointed to leadership positions in risky and precarious business circumstances than their male counterparts. Highlighting the key findings of current quantitative and qualitative research, this literature review assesses existing support for the glass cliff hypothesis and the limitations of empirical research and recommendations. Most of the included studies find support for the glass cliff, in which “think crisis, think female” stereotypes complement the traditional “think leadership, think male” approach. As archival and other studies have been conducted predominantly in Anglo-American countries, future research should extend to other methods and settings. In contrast to the recent literature, the present review draws a clear distinction between archival, experimental and qualitative research, so increasing interest and relevance for practitioners, regulators and researchers.

Abstract: The research methodology is a subject that has an essential role in completing the study. Even though students have received this course during the college period, many students still feel confused in determining the research method to complete their thesis, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The School from Home learning system prevents students from meeting face to face and talking directly to the lecturer. So, it is important to innovate where students can ask freely about the problems of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. So, there needs innovative learning to solve it. Authors made an innovation called Tanya Egy, based on a website application for Question and Answer (Q&A) about research methodology problems, both quantitative or qualitative. The Tanya Egy application has been synchronized with SPEDOL (Economic Library Service System and Online Data), owned by the Department of Economic Development FE UM. In this application, there are also many lecturers with econometric expertise and lecturers with expertise in the field of qualitative research methods. So this feature is not only for students who are taking research methods but also for students who are preparing a thesis or students who are currently on the verge of confusion in completing their thesis. The result of this activity is that 23 students have used and asked questions online through the Ask Egy feature. As many as 80 percent of students said this feature was beneficial in completing their thesis.   Abstrak : Metodologi penelitian merupakan matakuliah yang memiliki peranan penting dalam penyelesaian studi. Meskipun selama masa kuliah mahasiswa telah mendapatkan matakuliah ini akan tetapi masih banyak mahasiswa merasa kebingungan dalam menentukan metode penelitian untuk menyelesaikan skripsi.  Kondisi ini diperparah saat adanya pandemi Covid-19. Sistem pembelajaran School from Home membuat mahasiswa dibatasi untuk bertatap muka dan berbicara langsung dengan dosennya. Sehingga, penting untuk melakukan inovasi dimana mahasiswa dapat bertanya bebas mengenai permasalahan metode penelitian baik kuantitatif maupun kualitatif. Penemuan inovasi aplikasi “Tanya Egy” merupakan fitur yang berupa website khusus untuk Tanya jawab permasalahan metodologi penelitian secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Aplikasi Tanya Egy telah tersinkronisasi dengan SPEDOL (Sistem Pelayanan Pustaka Ekonomi dan Data Online) yang telah dimiliki oleh jurusan Ekonomi Pembangunan FE UM. Dalam aplikasi ini juga tergabung banyak dosen dengan keahlian ekonometrika maupun dosen dengan keahlian di bidang metode penelitian kualitatif. Sehingga fitur ini tidak hanya untuk mahasiswa yang sedang menempuh metode penelitian namun juga untuk mahasiswa yang akan menyiapkan skripsi atau mahasiswa yang saat ini berada diambang kebingungan dalam penyelesaian skripsi. Hasil dari kegiatan ini yaitu terdapat sebanyak 23 mahasiswa yang sudah memanfaatkan dan bertanya secara daring melalui fitur Tanya Egy. Kemudian sebanyak 80 persen mahasiswa mengatakan bahwa fitur ini sangat membantu dalam penyelesaian skripsi.

Purpose – to evaluate the efficiency of the credit provision process of Lithuanian banks, to submit suggestions for improvement. Research methodology – after the theoretical analysis of the efficiency of the credit granting process was developed, an empirical research using the methods of questionnaire survey and analysis of financial indicators was carried out. Findings – efficiency is usually lost at the stages of consideration of application, conclusion of credit portfolio and risk assessment. These factors were distinguished from all efficiency reducing factors: time consuming processes, not automatized stages, insufficiently informed customer. Research limitations – methods of analysis of scientific literature are limited, but they enable the analysis and identifi- cation of the efficiency of credit provision within the research. Practical implications – the article evaluates the efficiency of credit provision by selected banks and proposes measures to streamline the process. By applying the proposed measures, banks could increase the efficiency of the credit granting process. Originality/Value – previously, the effectiveness of credit granting process in Lithuanian banks has not been assessed.

Honor Killing

This chapter analyzes relevant quantitative and qualitative research on honor killings. It includes an original empirical study—the Churchill-Holmes study—of 200 incidents from 28 countries and territories. Following a comparative analysis of major studies displayed in tables and charts, a number of generalizations, or central tendencies, are inferred. Central tendencies are divided into three major categories based on rough estimates of the probability that the characteristics in each category will be found in all or most instances of honor killing. Central tendencies pertain to the frequency of all known aspects of honor killings. This research serves as grounds for the analysis, hypotheses, and tentative conclusions drawn in the remainder of this book.

This article examines the interrelationships between quantitative and qualitative research. Firstly, the essence and assumptions of quantitative and qualitative research methods were defined and the comparison between them was made on the basis of philosophy, quality metrology (a branch of science dealing with quality theory) and statistics. Moreover, the differences between the two types of research were discussed in the context of the planned experiments and empirical research. In the next part of the study, the possibilities of effective integration of quantitative and qualitative research in the process of triangulation were described.

New Type

The mixed methods research, as a new type of research, is discussed in the context of re-examining the relation between the two approaches, i.e. the possibility of not opposing, but connecting, combining and integrating them within research. The possibility to use such grounding in research as well could be quite important for pedagogy since the nature of the examined phenomena in this field is such that the majority has both quantitative and qualitative aspects. In order to explain the essence of a mixed methods research, the paper analyses its characteristics, first of all, what elements are combined, what is the nature of the relation between the combined elements and why they are combined, as well as its advantages and difficulties in application. The essential thing in a mixed methods research is the fact that combining refers to the research process as a whole, including the ontological and epistemological assumptions it is based on, which implies that the elements that are combined are understood rather broadly. The advantages and difficulties in application are considered in the context of the discussion of the possibility to combine all research elements, neutralise the limitations of quantitative and qualitative research methodology, implement the complex combining procedures etc.

In this book review of Kumar’s 2011 edition of Research Methodology: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners, I provide a summary of the book’s main content and a critical review of its content and structure including both the strengths and weaknesses. I conclude that this new edition of the book with Kumar presenting qualitative research as an equal methodology to quantitative research is an appropriate resource for students who are just starting to learn how to conduct empirical research studies. Two suggestions are provided for its future edition: (a) more classic resources about research methodology; and (b) more discussions about IRB application.
