Abstract
There has been a long time controversy about which is the most appropriate research methodology in administrative sciences research. This has resulted into two polar research views: Quantitative and Qualitative methods. This study explores the philosophical underpinnings of research methodology using two research projects (one quantitative and another qualitative). It analysed the two research papers in the light of the chosen research design and methods. Pros and cons of the quantitative and qualitative research with respect to the chosen research topics were discussed. It defined the triangulation approach and explained conditions under which a triangulated research can be used. It also, based on the research papers analysed, drew out the pros and cons of the triangulation method. This paper therefore concludes that no one method is the best but the best method depends on the research topic and the circumstantial exigencies surrounding the study.
