The right choice of a suitable research methodology is a crucial decision to perform effective scientific research and is

mainly based on linking research objectives to the characteristics of the available research methodologies. Based on the

notion that researchers in the fields of Economics, Business and Technology have to choose among multiple methods and

techniques the selection of an appropriate research approach that might support cross$-$disciplinary research is one of the

most difficult decisions for a researcher. For that reason, the aim of this paper is to provide issues related to: $($a$)$

Quantitative Research, $($b$)$ Qualitative Research and $($c$)$ Strategic Management of Digital Systems in order to investigate a

suitable research methodology for identifying and analysing key strategic management factors and phases. The publication

of this paper has been partly supported by the University of Piraeus Research Centre.
