Linking Relevance to Practical Significance

Lee, Allen and Mohajeri, Kaveh LU (2012) 45th Hawaii International Conference on System Science (HICSS) p.5234-5240
Abstract
Researchers in academic disciplines, including but not limited to information systems, have long been aware of, but have not linked, two research issues: one issue is the lack of relevance, despite the plethora of rigor, in their research, the other issue is the distinction between statistical significance and practical significance, where the latter is no less important than the former. In this essay, we link the two issues by examining and revealing the practical significance of the research reported in a well known, published article and stating the questions that this examination raises.
