Review
`Strengths of the text lie with the emphasis on a creative multimethods approach, the accesssible argument for validity and relevance of ethnographic methods in business and management research and the relative clarity with which philosophical issues are exposed' - Human Resource Management Journal

Product Description
`Strengths of the text lie with the emphasis on a creative multimethods approach, the accesssible argument for validity and relevance of ethnographic methods in business and management research and the relative clarity with which philosophical issues are exposed' - Human Resource Management Journal

Research Methods for Managers enables students to take their first steps in project work, confident that they are on firm ground in their choice of methodological approaches to the problems that they have set themselves. In the experience of the authors, this is what students engaged in research usually find most difficult. The authors` aim is to present a balanced approach to research methodology in business and management, and to offer intending researchers a wider range of options than deductive approaches alone.

The authors address the key philosophical foundations of the main methodological approaches to research in management and business. The text is practical and user-friendly, with a step-by-step approach and examples and exercises drawn from business. The book deals with all aspects of the research process, and especially with deciding on an approach or strategy and formulating the research plan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good practical advice, 27 Feb 2005
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent !!!, 4 Nov 2004
By Oluniyi Ogunbiyi (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!!!
