Abstract:
The paper presents a reference set of research-quality evaluation criteria for
qualitative research in Operations Management. The typical research process is
presented and enhanced by making explicit the role of the criteria in both the
design and evaluation phases. The paper highlights the importance of having such
criteria not only to strengthen the research outcome, but also as means of
control and self-correction during the research process. This paper concludes
with a review of potential methods to provide support to the research-quality
evaluation criteria.
