Samenvatting

From the article : "In this paper the implications of different research approaches and methods are illustrated
by using two projects of the authors. Both projects take place in the same context:
exploring participatory innovation within Small-to-Medium sized Enterprizes
(SMEs). The main aspects coming forward when comparing the research characteristics
of both projects are the importance of time and momentum, the structural
set up of the project, people or participants and the abilities of the people involved.
The research goal and the background of the researcher are main determinants for
the chosen research methods. We hope with this paper to make researchers aware of
the implications of the research methods and approach on the results of the project."
