I cannot tell you how helpful your thread has been to me today. My doctorate study has had to alter to online interviews due to covid and the majority of these resources will be so helpful. Thank so so much

Hi please, I'm doing a Research on Internationalisation and entry strategies of MNC into an emerging economy: Case study of MTN into Europe. Trying to get interviews has been abortive, I have resorted to using company documents, annual reports and publication, will this suffice?

Thanks for a great list! If someone needs to do participant observations online through e.g. Zoom and feel lost, our paper might also be useful: emerald.com/insight/content/…

When having issues with fraudulent responses to an online study, we looked for guidance on how to manage it but didn't find any. So we had to find our own way and then naturally wrote a paper on it: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
