  abstract: In this written case, I concentrate primarily on how I approached my dissertation topic on knowledge creation in multi-organizational projects using a mixed-methods approach and how applying these methods has continued in my research today. Sometimes to fully understand the whole phenomenon being studied, one needs to utilize various methods and be at least good enough with them to ensure internal and external validity, and so on. This is often antithetical to the approach taken by some academic researchers who focus on one particular methodology to the exclusion of all others. Focus, of course, helps build competency but can limit exposure of the full picture being studied. Focus could lead to picking research topics based on the method rather than the subject. For me, use of mixed methods or the multi-methods approach has led to fruitful research production and allowed me to study the processes of innovation from a number of perspectives. I also discuss my thoughts on why I approached multi-methods and the types of analyses I have undertaken. My philosophy is to start with the research question and then choose the most appropriate methods to study it. As such, I believe most management scholars should be well versed in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies--at very least, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each--and ultimately to be able to effectively utilize them in studying the phenomenon of interest holistically.
