Product Description
Review
I have just started looking at the lecturer resources on the online resource centre and I would like to say how good I think they are. The book is excellent and these resources augment it well. They will be really useful as they combine clarity with brevity - not a common characteristic of many support sites. (Malcolm Young, University of Lincoln )
'the book provides the clearest treatment of ontological and epistemological issues that I have seen in a student text.' (Professor Tony Watson, Professor of Organizational and Managerial Behaviour, Nottingham Trent University )
'While many texts in this field are brief and superficial, emphasizing authors' biases, Alan and Emma cover the range of qualitative and quantitative methods and epistemological debates.' (Professor David A. Buchanan, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Leicester Business School, De Montfort University )
'This near-encyclopaedic treatment will prove invaluable to students of research methods and to those seeking practical help with a business research project. The volume is packed with useful examples and it offers a balanced consideration of the array of available methods.' (John Storey, Professor of Management, The Open University Business School )

Format:Paperback
I teach research methods to business and management students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. This is unquestionably the best and most detailed text in the area at the moment (2006). Thoroughly recommended.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am currently doing an Masters degree and out of all the books available, this is the one I purchased. I have to admit that it was worth getting.
Even though I prefer books which are concise and straight the point, considering the different contrasting concepts within the subject of research which need to be examined, this book had nearly every concept covered which I needed to study.
As a result it contributed to both of my graded assignments.
It might be heavily detailed but the benefit is that it provides something for every research student.
The book is well structured, nicely presented and provides in-depth focus on important topics.
Highly Recommended.
(Just remember that you should refer to numerous books rather than this one alone, if you want to get good marks).

Not for me, thanks.
As a student I find the text very long winded, going into long sections to explain very simple points. Read more
