Abstract: In this chapter the Delphi method, a dialectical and consensus seeking approach, is applied to management research in ambiguous and uncertain situations. The Delphi method is essentially a process in which responses from many rounds of questions are sent to a group of leaders or experts. This happens for several iterations, and the responses are anonymous and also aggregated prior to sharing in each round. Notably, the leaders/ experts alter their response to the same questions after each round - largely due to the responses they have seen from the larger group. In sum, this process is believed to eventually create consensus as to the correct response for each question.
