PDE: The puzzle • Research Question: • The “puzzle”: Why are people founding hundreds of new banks each year contrary to the tidal wave of mergers justified by economies of scale and globalization? • The study: A descriptive study to explore the profile and motivations of founders of new banks. • Note: Founding investors are distinct from founding employees.

  4. PDE: Research Method • Descriptive Study • Mixed Methods • Quantitative: mailed-out survey to recent bank founders; 330 responses • Qualitative: depth interviews with 15-20 experts • Epistemology: • Mostly Interpretist: Researcher will attempt to understand the meaning of human actions. • Reject constructionist epistemology: Investor motivations can be known; however, I concede that the researcher will be the “instrument” that records that data • Quantitative/demographic profile information will be positivist. • See attached methodology chapter for details
