The field research, conducted in Russia, consists out of several “Spirals of AR Cycles”.
i. Identification of two samples of practitioners in separate databases;
ii. Conducting Pilot interviews (2+2) randomly selected from each sample;
iii. Analysing the outcomes of the pilot interviews;
iv. Including the significant remarks in the design of the questionnaires;
v. Providing differentiated (digital) questionnaires to 400 practitioners from sample A (alumni) and 480 practitioners from sample B (advised organisations);
vi. Analysing the statistical and methodological outcomes of the questionnaires;
vii. Conducting one focus group meeting and eleven in-depth interviews with randomly selected practitioners/ respondents to evaluate on the processed outcomes of the survey questionnaires and to enrich the outcomes with
practitioners’ remarks;
viii. Including the findings and analysis of Third party research;
ix. Conducting final analysis and conclusions.
x. The following cross-coherence table shows the connections of the Research
Questions in each of the questionnaires. Since the Questionnaires for the both samples had, to a certain extent, a diversified type of questions, the cross-coherence table below elaborates on the connections of each of the Research Questions with questions in both of the questionnaires.
