Quantitative Risk: Action Plan
Developing an action plan to quantitatively identify and address risks is something that any business organization that hopes to survive and remain profitable and stable in the long-term needs to do. All businesses in all environments face a certain degree of uncertainty by the very nature of the fact that they do business with people that they cannot control (including people both inside and outside their own organization, i.e. employees, customers, and competitors), and being able to identify and assess the potential for risks in a quantitative way can create very useful and very actionable data for a company to use in making decisions between various strategies or specific actions (Croker 2003; MMG 2011). Developing and implementing an action plan, which is a simple and direct way for carrying out complex procedures, can help not only to identify but also to accurately quantify the...

Indeed, as Muntaner (2003) posited in her research, qualitative methods can be included in a dominantly quantitative research design "in situations where qualitative research adds knowledge that would not be available via quantitative methods" (p. 55). Through a mixed-methods design, the researcher can provide better analyses and stronger interpretations and recommendations through balanced strengths of data reliability and validity -- that is, the achievement of "triangulation" in the research
