Abstract
The previous chapters identified the need to investigate factors of implementation systematically with little opportunity for us to build on current solutions or existing compilations of factors. As we have seen, current solutions are not based on extensive, tailored research, and there are no ready-to-use compilations of factors. Thus, this chapter answers the questions necessary to set up our own exploration of factors: what is the appropriate methodological approach? What is the appropriate (organizational) level of analysis? What are constraints governing the design of research?
