Abstract
As the application of qualitative inquiry increases in popularity within the field of supply chain management, the construct of validity of research in the subject field continues to receive increasing attention in the methodological literature. (Erickson, 1985; Maxwell, 1992; Denzin & Lincoln, 2005). This paper presents and describes the different methods to increase accuracy and validity in qualitative enquiries, using evidence from supply chain case study research. The paper also explains how rigour (reliability and validity) was established using verification strategies for evaluating trustworthiness and utility.
