Quantitative business research faces a problem that we call the methodology crisis. As the number and complexity of data analysis techniques used increases, it becomes more difficult to select, apply, and interpret these techniques correctly. This contributes to incorrect application of methods and incorrect interpretation of results. This project documents the most common methodological problems in the four fields of business research it targets: strategy and entrepreneurship, organizational behavior and leadership, operations management, and information systems science. The project develops techniques and guidelines that help researchers avoid misuse of methods. The main objective of the project is to raise awareness of the existence of a methodological crisis in various fields of business administration.
