Good practical advice 26 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I used an earlier edition of this book when I needed to undertake the thesis for my MBA - partly on the strength of rating Phil Johnson as a lecturer. It explained a lot of the terminology surrounding research that you need to be able to quote in your thesis - e.g. inductive versus deductive - and was very readable without being too simplistic. It worked for me and I think it added that professional edge to my research. My advice would be to read several texts on research but include this as one of them.

Got this book to give me a grounding in research methodologies for my MBA research project and whilst I was initially sceptical about the style when I first browsed through it, I was pleasantly surprised with it's in-depth analysis of different methodologies and the underlying philosophy. Really good book!!!
