    Dr. Susan Kristiniak explores phenomenology that offers the researcher the ability to become part of the data collection.
    Dr. Nathan Boyer offers perspective on the phenomenology approach regarding entrepreneurs and innovation.
    Dr. Leigh Riley examines a mixed method approach combining content analysis, quantitative design, and comparative analysis.
    Dr. Patricia Dues uses a quantitative correlational analysis with a mix of technology media using mixed methods.
    Dr. Gail Ferreira offers an array of digital methods to expand the results of mixed methods studies.
    Dr. Rachel Gonzales explores team effectiveness through a quantitative correlational method.
    Dr. Steven P. Woods demonstrates how refractive "out-of-the-box" thinking found new independent variables that were hiding in plain sight.
