Pace’s IIQM Cooperating Site
1st US Cooperating Site in 2000 What have we done? Where are we heading?
Qualitative Research Methods
Lubin School Doctoral Program
John P. Dory
Director
Lubin Doctoral Program
Founded 1972 Practitioner orientation Little formal research training Early dissertations
Often qualitative Frequently exploratory (and interdisciplinary) Usually unstructured (and long) Little formal hypothesis testing
Changes Over 30 Years
More research trained faculty Greater research orientation
Three courses in methodology Research papers in many seminars
Dissertations Often quantitative Frequently discipline-bounded Highly structured (and brief) Usually formal hypothesis testing
Program Trends
Better building on prior research Greater contributions to literature More quantitatively sophisticated Less direct observation Less process orientation Less understanding of context Potentially less practitioner relevance
Explorations in Business Research
New course began with new hybrid curriculum First program semester First of three required research seminars
Objectives Identify broad range of research methods Develop capability to evaluate [Review elementary statistics]
Qualitative Research Component
Historical approach 2002 Stephen Blank 2003 Joanne Singleton and Evert Gummesson 2004 Joanne Singleton
Student reaction Genuine interest Desires to “incorporate” Anxiety about barriers
Barriers to Qualitative Research
Bias in business disciplines No Lubin faculty with expertise or experience in
qualitative methods Limited publishing opportunity for qualitative
research in business
Extra burden for students Time Effort
Where to go from here?

What’s in it for you?
Pace University Strategic Plan:
Core Objective One: Strengthen Pace’s Academic Excellence and Reputation
3 – Implement a Strategy to become a Tier II national comprehensive University by 2008
i - Greater emphasis on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary courses is needed
The answer is…
One way to reach these goals is to engage our faculty and students (graduate and undergraduate) in quality interdisciplinary research.
Based on our successful experience with Lubin DPS students, we would like to expand the services of the IIQM-CS University-wide.
How can you get assistance?
The IIQM-CS is part of the Center for Nursing Research, Clinical Practice, and International Affairs (CNRCPIA) that will coordinate IIQM-CS interventions.
The Proposed Process
Request consultation from CNRCPIA CNRCPIA schedules consultation with Dr. Singleton Determine services needed: class participation,
seminar, student mentoring, referrals to IIQM resources…
