This revolutionary monograph is a game-changer in the world of social sciences. Its integrative research approach sets it apart from the rest and is a must-have addition to any serious academic library. Don't miss out on the opportunity to elevate your research to the next level with this ground-breaking publication.

Monograph integrates theoretical and practical approaches in planning and applying the research study and is a different, unique research perspective, transforming the gap between positivist and phenomenology research approaches.

The first part of the monograph explains the action approach to research, which developed for some time and was frequently targeted by critique. Classical methodology approaches were only positive based on the rationalistic view of the world. The second part concentrates on the role of mechanisms in research, which are used in the theorising process of gathering data when they are scarce and come from multiple and diverse sources.

The core theme of the monograph is a pragmatic approach to research. The author concentrates on introducing and integrating different methods that could be simultaneously used as a pragmatic approach to research. A pragmatic approach is especially important in defining the research gap and research problem. The author thoroughly explains the process of theorising in gathering scarce and complex data.

Monograph further explains that there are different views of reality, which are the dispute of many paradigmatic wars in the methodology field. Autor tries to bridge the gap between quantitative and qualitative research methods by introducing some practical examples of mixed research methods. The keynote of the pragmatic research approach is the thorough and flexible research planning that could be developed in unfolding the practical research study.

Monograph introduces many graphics presentations, schemata and flow diagrams that effectively contribute to understanding the text and core research and methodological terms and concepts. Monograph is a unique work aimed at all who researches on the laic, professional and scientific level. Moreover, it will be useful for all actors who deal with complex and ambiguous problems lacking information and must use different methods and combined approaches to solve them.
