Paul Lowry

These are the Adobe PDF companion slides to accompany the same video-presentation (S002) that is on the YouTube Channel, Innovations in Interdisciplinary Research by Dr. Paul Benjamin Lowry. These are from an excellent presentation given by first-year Virginia Tech Ph.D. student, Cam Kormylo, with the title, Multiparadigm perspectives and meta-triangulation (August 2020). This is a particularly impressive and cogent integration, discussion, and visualize representation of the following seminal works on theory building in respect to meta-triangulation: Gioia, D. A., and Pitre, E. 1990. Multiparadigm Perspectives on Theory Building, The Academy of Management Review (15:4), pp. 584-602. Jasperson, J. S., Carte, T. A., Saunders, C. S., Butler, B. S., Croes, H. J. P., and Zheng, W. 2002. Review: Power and Information Technology Research: A Metatriangulation Review, MIS Quarterly (26:4), pp. 397459. Lewis, M. W., and Grimes, A. J. 1999. Metatriangulation: Building Theory from Multiple Paradigms, The Academy of Management Review (24:4), pp. 672-690. Cam generously gave permission for reuse and public sharing of his video and associated slides, which can be downloaded on 際際滷Share. We greatly appreciate Cams contributions to this discourse!
