description This paper reviews research paradigms that have existed since the 1970s. Specifically, it reviews two frameworks by Burrell and Morgan (1979) and Chua (1986) that have become prominent as a basis for methodological stance in accounting and management research.

Thus, there is no one best research method to use because every method has its own strengths and weaknesses.
