114 III. Research Methodology. III. 1 Introduction The research methodology employed in this study is designed to robustly explore and validate the Hospital Strategy Execution System by Maximizing Daily EBITDA (EBITDAMAX) model, drawing on established strategy execution theories. The methodology consists of several key components that address both the development and testing of the model and its theoretical foundations. In Sub-Chapter III.2, the author explores Research Philosophy, establishing a crucial foundation for our study. This segment introduces key guiding principles, encouraging readers to consider the theoretical underpinnings that shape our inquiry. Chapter III.3, titled Data and Research, features a detailed examination of the Research Strategy in Sub-Chapter III.3.1. Here, the author justifies the use of a Multiple Embedded Case Study approach, which immerses the research in diverse real-life contexts. This method enhances understanding by capturing complex dynamics within their natural settings. Sub-Chapter III.3.2 describes the various Research Choices available, highlighting the flexibility and careful considerations necessary to select suitable methodologies. In III.3.3, the author presents a well- developed Research Model from Chapter II, linking theory to practice and engaging in rigorous hypothesis testing to strengthen the literature study.Sub-Chapter III.3.4 discusses Time Horizons, elucidating how different frameworks can influence research design and outcomes. Subsequent III.3.5 delves into key variables, such as Strategy Clarity, Leadership, Organization Culture and Systems, EBITDAMAX and Strategy Execution Results], explaining their significance and interrelationships. In III.3.6, the author addresses Reliability and Validity, outlining the methodological tests essential for ensuring trustworthy findings. Ethical considerations are prioritized in III.3.7, emphasizing the need for high ethical standards and respect for participant rights. Finally, Chapter III.3.8 summarizes the chapter's main insights, reinforcing the importance of the Research Methodology discussed. This structured approach provides a solid foundation for further exploration into the research topic. 115 III.2 Research Philosophies The methodology explicitly focuses on the development and operationalization of the EBITDAMAX model through a multi-faceted approach: Pragmatic Research Philosophy: The research adopts a pragmatic philosophy, emphasizing the practical application of theoretical frameworks, which is crucial for developing a management-oriented model like EBITDAMAX. The focus is on topics with practical value, such as maximizing daily EBITDA to enhance efficiency and profitability in hospitals. In this research, the author adopts a pragmatic philosophy, underscoring the vital importance of theoretical frameworks in the research process while advocating for a practical approach to Strategy Execution, as highlighted by Mark Saunders (2009).
