Prof. Constantinos Cartalis (University of Athens)
___________________________________________________________________________
The selection of the research strategy for the formulation of your research plan is probably the most important decision to be made. The choice of the strategy, whether analytical, experimental, descriptive or a combination of these, depends on several inter-correlated parameters and preconditions.
