Expert research
Using the Delphi method
The aim of the Delphi panel
was to verify the theoretical assumptions and operationalization of the conceptual model of the opportunity-based approach to innovation management in small business.
The research tool was an online expert questionnaire prepared in the LimeSurvey system and available via the Internet.
The research was conducted between October and November 2020.
The experts
represented the scientific community from Poland and were selected on the basis of their research interests and scientific achievements in entrepreneurship, small business management and/or innovation management.
According to the procedure of the Delphi method, 2 rounds of research were carried out, which allowed to obtain a high level of consensus among the Experts and to formulate a solution accepted by all participants.
