Metatriangulation: Building theory from multiple paradigms

Multiparadigm approaches aid exploration of particularly complex and parado xical phenomena: by helping theorists employ disparate theoretical perspect ives, In this article we provide an extensive guide to multiparadigm exempl ars and then link their varied approaches within a metatriangulation theory -building strategy. Our process addresses the challenges theorists face as they select a research topic, collect and analyze data, theorize, and evalu ate resulting theory using multiple paradigms. a concluding discussion of t he advantages, limitations, and potential applications of metatriangulation positions it within the wider realm of organization theory.
