Glossary Element  Methodology

Methodology refers to a research logic consisting of a more or less consistent set of assumptions about the relevant conditions that need to be fulfilled to gain plausible, inspirational and robust knowledge and insights. Forward-looking approaches commonly follow two methodologies: quantitative – explaining, data near, high measure level, and qualitative – understanding, data remote and low measure level.
