The iron cage of methodology : the vicious circle of means limiting ends limiting means... - Thousand Oaks : SAGE, July 2004
This article addresses the strategies and tools that public administration scholars use to understand phenomena of interest. The range of qualitative methods used has been limited, and the kinf of rigor generally associated with quantitative methods has largely been absent in the application of their quantitative counterparts. Two conclusions are drawn from an analysis of articles published in two respected journals: Training on research methods in ph.D and M.P.A programs should be expanded to include a broader range of strategies and tools, and the rigorous use of a broader ranger of research tools promises to better position the field of public administration to identify, examine, and answer the many big questions that it now faces
