Synopsis

A phenomenal success from its first publication, this new edition of the classic Management Research continues to be the definitive word in management research methods. Integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, underpinned by an understanding of philosophy and, crucially, politics, this book succeeds in tackling complex issues in a clear and accessible way. Mark Easterby-Smith, Richard Thorpe, and Paul Jackson, three highly-experienced management researchers, give practical guidance to help students to conduct management research as well as truly understand the logic behind it.
