Title A name given to the resource THE CONCEPT OF APPROACHES IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES, IN PARTICULAR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR S.B.M. MARUME MR. R.R. JUBENKANDA MR. C.W. NAMUSI Description An account of the resource Arnold Brecht (1967:57), one of the leading 20th century-political scientist, maintains that clarity and unambiguity of all terms and concepts used in a study are the first requirements of logical reasoning. It is against this background that the three academics have decided to examine systematically the concept of approaches which has been erroneously used interchangeably and synonymously with the concept of methods in the social sciences, for example, sociology, economics, political science, business administration, strategic management, international politics, strategic studies, psychology, and so on. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that (a) methods and approaches are two different terms with different meanings and (b) different classifications of the concept approaches in the social sciences Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 approaches empiricism methods normativism and logical positivism
