It concludes that positivist paradigm must adopt the tools of other paradigms to gain more and to enhance its ability to contribute more to the world knowledge. This study will be a helpful contribution for the finance the researcher s to follow the other approaches of other paradigms as well along with positivism paradigm and to use multi-method research designs.
