| Tiivistelmä: | The authors examined three approaches to research in marketing: exploratory hypotheses, dominant hypothesis, and competing hypotheses. The authors' review of empirical studies on scientific methodology suggests that the use of a single dominant hypothesis lacks objectivity relative to the use of exploratory and competing hypotheses approaches. The authors then conducted a publication audit of over 1,700 empirical papers in six leading marketing journals during 1984-1999. Changes in the approach to hypotheses since 1984 have been modest; there was a slight decrease in the percentage of competing hypotheses to 11 %, which is explained primarily by an increasing proportion of papers on phenomena. |
