| Summary |
"This textbook provides answers to the questions and problems which researchers invariably encounter when embarking on either quantitative or qualitative management research. It will carefully guide the reader through the research process from beginning to end." "The book assists the reader in identifying research problems, defining what to investigate and choosing the most effective process. An entire section is then dedicated to writing up and successfully communicating the research findings." "Doing Management Research brings together the experiences of a large group of researchers who have had to address the different issues raised in the course of their work - it is thus anchored in real methodological problems. Written in an accessible and easy-to-use style, this book can be read from cover to cover or dipped into for clarification at particular points during the research process."--BOOK JACKET |
