To clarify -
is it possible to have different approaches to multi-stage mixed method research design depending on the research questions - both in terms of number of stages as well as type of research in each stage?
Like for Research Problem A I have quali-quanti-quali, for RP B I have quali-quanti-quanti-quali and so on?
Possible. Likely? For a large study or a team, the sky's the limit. Integration is what matters. How each part informs the next stage and contributes to the end result is your major concern. Simple is often better, but one must be concerned with replicability and/or reproducibility.
Yes, there is no one way. As long as you answer research question and have the time and money.
Yes, I am in agreement with David Coker , you can ultimately decided on what multi-mixed stages you want to implement, which may differ from one study to the next according to the unique research problems and nuances of the studies.
Thank you David Coker , Rodney Duffett ... this helps.
Truly appreciate your inputs.
