description The author emphasised the importance of cognitive methods and business management methods, as well as the necessity to adopt an open-minded approach that requires combining multiple approaches in the research process. In order to make the research more credible, the author suggested using triangulation of research methods, allowing to expand the scope of the studied phenomenon. The application of combined research methods also permits achieving higher quality of conducted research, as well as limiting measurement errors that may occur when just one method is used. The author pointed out that for each research process an appropriate research methodology should be selected depending on the type of research problem. It might be necessary to refine the approach, tool or method in order to strengthen the research process. The author designed a concept of a modern formula for organisational changes in an enterprise in the form of a model and verified the model against the example of selected enterprises. He made an attempt to develop a research method to be used in the implementation of basic research processes in management sciences and in the implementation of organisational changes in an enterprise. The developed research method, called "LIDER" (covering three stages), has been used by the author to identify areas of activity and to assess the readiness of change leaders to carry out organisational changes in an enterprise. The nature of the research will determine the decision as to the precise research design, creation of a research model and selection of specific research methods.
