Critical Analysis on Review of McLaughlin, Josetta S., and Gerald W. McLaughlin & John A. Muffo. 2001. "Using Qualitative and Quantitative Methods for Complementary Purposes: A Case Study." NEW DIRECTIONS FOR INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH, 15-32.

The research paper is about Using Qualitative and Quantitative Methods for Complementary Purposes, which deals with the requirements that show how to recognize the progress of a specific program. The first section of the case study is based on the quantitative methods which could be used in the estimation of the performance to determine the cost of the project. The next section discussed the qualitative methods which are used to explain the structure and satisfaction of the employees related to specific plan. Ponders utilizing subjective and quantitative techniques can be contrasted with search for affirmation and inconsistencies in discoveries. The installed contextual analysis along these lines enables the specialist to move from distinguishing proof of inquiries to usable data for basic leadership at the program level. Understudies, staff, and executives were the essential crowds for the aftereffects of the investigations. Simultaneously, these gatherings went about as essential information hotspots for the program assessment. Even though reviews implanted in the case had constraints regarding unwavering quality and legitimacy, an exhaustive appraisal of the Math Emporium emerged. A well-organized organization needs to recognize the studies of different scholars in a way that the reasonable resources could be identified in way that would be utilized in the specific program. McLaughlin and Muffo in the book: Using Qualitative and Quantitative Methods for Complementary Purposes: A Case Study telling that the mentioned aspects in this critical review are copied from the book.

As stated by McLaughlin and Muffo (2001) that The evaluation of the listening and that resources have some strengths as well as some deficiencies, but in research paper, there is most likely discussion about the positive impacts on the qualitative and quantitative resources used in some research. The research could be based on different kinds of research questions therefore the answers must be competent of the question which could derived after the research of specific issues. The design of the page in this research paper is based on the assumption that the project would use the methodology, which is required to consider in the continuous improvement, which is not possible to be beneficial in every case.

McLaughlin and Muffo (2001) also described in the study that there may be some cases in which the assumptions are not proved that the project is to be implemented on these assumptions. The paper is based on using qualitative and quantitative resources to get the answer of case study. There may be other methods such as survey conducted from suitable sample size to get the answer to these questions as the survey is direct feedback of the people and is time-saving method to get the data.

The argument of McLaughlin and Muffo is interesting as well as challenging, there may be method of empirical research to get the solution in the research about any topic as the results of empirical research are reliable to deal with the issues or to fill the research gaps. The definition used in this research paper is narrow as it deals with the cross-validation of methods used in this research, which are not separately different in the different cases. There should be difference in the methods which are used in the research that could explain the issue in more clarity (McLaughlin and Muffo 2001).

The major concern of McLaughlin and Muffo is: to avoid this problem there should be solution based on the methodology employed for this research on cell fabricating blends information and standards to produce more valid and powerful outcomes. According to McLaughlin and Muffo, Utilizing subjective and quantitative data contributed to the validity of the results through triangulation, and using a combination of the qualitative and quantitative research standards created a progressively complete understanding of the hierarchical societies through complementarity. The rest of the article will characterize authoritative culture, depict the exploration techniques utilized for the cellular manufacturing study, and talk about how utilizing blended strategies had a significant impact.

Hence it is concluded that the research could also evaluate the advantages which are connected with the methodology, which are not based only on qualitative and quantitative research such as empirical research or survey. Although this is also further division of Qualitative and Quantitative Methods, it based on the limited scope, which could be analyzed easily.
