Sažetak
This paper offers in depth arguments into why researchers should approach the issues relating of professional (managerial) social network dynamics using qualitative research methodology and methods. Even though many research endeavors have offered more understanding on how social networks affect various outcome variables such as firm, team or managerial performance, there is a dearth of research on understanding the underlying mechanism of (managerial) professional social network development, change, growth and decay. This is where qualitative research approach steps in, because of its ability to unravel the hidden processes behind pertinent social network research questions. In that light, this paper offers arguments into why qualitative research is applicable to the existing research problems in the field of managerial social networks
