Critique of Quantitative Methods Journal Paper

This assignment builds on my weekly seminar papers for discussion and is concerned with critically evaluating and interpreting a business and management journal article that adopts quantitative methodology. I have to interpret and evaluate the following journal paper attached with this assignment:Aalbers, R., Dolfsma, W., Koppius, O., (2013), Individual connectedness in innovation networks: On the role of individual motivation, Research Policy, Vol. 42, pp. 624-634.( I will upload it later) Please check the "Additional Files" later. Areas for discussion within the essay are: 1. Introduction: Key research gaps that the paper is trying to fill 2. Brief description of current theory and empirical research illustrating incoherencies, inconsistencies and uncertainties 3. The nature of sample used in the study and an appraisal of its fit for the research question as well as its shortcomings 4. The major part of your paper (at least 1000 words) is to describe the most significant statistics in the paper and what they mean 5. Conclusions: Discuss how the researchers could have done the study differently. Here I??m looking for your creative thinking especially linked to seminar discussions of other papers during this course. Please appraise the journal article in your own words rather than copying material straight from the paper.
