Research Methods Solutions & Theories
41
Research Methods Solutions & Theories Surveys (email, web, phone), Interviews & Focus Groups give way to Actual behavior: Page visits, tweets, posts Challenge is to validate sample Selected panel (Nielsen) vs. Convenience sample Citizen science, crowdsourcing??
42
Teams: WHY? ???
43
Why work in teams? To complete a substantial project in time More ideas - Getting unstuck Combine strengths/skills in different areas Backup - redundancy Motivating - responsibility to peers Modularity helps - accountability Learning It’s fun! (potentially)
44
What are the problems of working in teams? People get in the way Disagreements Communication gaps Overstressed – not living up to expectations Inferiority complex Fear of letting down peers Dealing with messing up Leadership troubles Lack of trust- unbalanced contributions Risk- of others not doing their share Personality, working style conflicts
45
How to work in teams? Social structure Who sets the agenda/tasks/schedule Who measures quality or approves results What is the pacing- forms of coordination Technology support Email Chat Phone Video-conference or phone F2F
