Variables that could increase the likelihood of insider threat can be certain personality traits or satisfaction levels revealed by employee questionnaires. If an employee, for example, believes that he or she is not receiving the full benefits merited by his or her service level or skill set within the company, it can be determined as more likely for this type of employee to act less ethically than those with a higher satisfaction level regarding their work and skill set match. These data can then be compared to historic quantitative data from companies that have suffered from cloud computing insider crimes. This comparison can then finally lead to a somewhat accurate determination of potential threat within the company being investigated, and appropriate steps for its mitigation recommended. A quantitative focus, on the...

This, in turn can be used with qualitative interview data that may reveal the belief among managers and employers that such a threat exists and that mitigating steps need to be taken. The computer skills among high-level employees who may pose a threat can also be analyzed in terms of the potential threat they could pose.
In conclusion, cloud computing has changed the face of business. It has also changed the level and amount of threats that could impact companies. Mixed-methods research can be used in a number of ways to both determine the level of threat within a specific company or the determine the historic effect of computer crimes on companies and their survival in general.

mixed methods research simply taking half a quantitative plan and half of a qualitative plan and putting them together?" And an articulation of the challenges to using a mixed methods strategy of inquiry. To what extent is mixed methods research simply taking half a quantitative plan and half of a qualitative plan and putting them together? Mixed methods approaches blend aspects of both quantitative and qualitative research designs in their construction.

Mixed Methods Research Two important aspects of qualitative research relates to the role of the researcher and the manner in which knowledge is viewed. These two aspects fundamentally distinguish qualitative research from quantitative research (Creswell, 2014). In qualitative research, the researcher seeks to cultivate a closer relationship with the subject(s). This means that the researcher focuses on a single or a small number of subjects, and utilises designs that allow closer

Mixed Methods Benefits and challenges of Qualitative, Quantitative and mixed methods approaches to research Benefits and Challenges of Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approach to Research In any type of research, it is possible to characterize a research's study methodology as qualitative, quantitative, or one that involves the two methods, in which case it becomes a mixed method approach. Moreover, the term research design is popular in research, but it takes varied

Mixed Methods Designs
PAGES 4 WORDS 1283

Generally, research may be quantitative or qualitative. Nonetheless, the usage of the two methods at the same time is common -- the mixed methods approach. Indeed, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches overcomes the limitations inherent in each approach, resulting in a better understanding of the research problem (Creswell & Clark, 2011). This paper identifies the major components of mixed methods research design and the strengths and weaknesses of the

Mixed Methods Approaches Although some researchers may believe that only one method of research is valid when studying human behavior, in general it is more useful to view different research approaches as part of the varied 'instruments' in a researcher's toolbox, rather than denigrate one type of research at the expense of other kinds. Whether quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches are selected determines on the nature of the research;

Research Methodology As mentioned above, a mixed-methods research approach is used to conduct the study. Qualitative data will be collected from research report that concern topics such as official policy documents, institutional policy documents, research reports, as well as by means of approaching individuals and representatives of institutions by means of questionnaires and/or interviews. Schools and tertiary institutions will for example be approached to determine their approach to mitigating the transition
