This paper presents multi-dimensional methodology framework for the analysis of management research trends in Korea and some alternative research methodologies to complement both the level of academic inquiry and that of practical usefulness. Proposed are the multi-dimensional methodology framework originated from (1) the epistemological, (2) methodological and (3) time dimension.While there has been an increasing growth in management research in Korea for more than 50 years, the research community is critically influenced by both dominant perspective of positivism and dominant quantitative-oriented research methodology. Although conventional quantitative studies have contributed to the logical verification and generalization of managerial theories, there still exist research needs exploring the profound meaning of experiential phenomena or human behaviors in the managerial context. It is, therefore, essential to suggest some complementary research methodologies that would grasp the holistic approach to business organizations for balanced academic or practical development. The redefined concept and characteristics of qualitative methodologies are illustrated in terms of the multi-dimensional methodology framework. Finally, the benefits that qualitative methodology can provide are discussed.
