Supplements
Excellent resource to support CIPD students in their research projects which will be recommended to the library
Excellent book, will be especially recommended for students taking a more managment rather than technical focus to thier dissertation.
Although not aimed at mangers within health and social care the majority of the material was applicable to these organisations. Students liked the fact it was focused on individuals for whom management was the key part of their job. Some good examples given and several students purchased their own copy.
Readable and relevant text for working students balancing study and work commitments
Book was not the right fit for level 1 students, although I found it useful as resource material and point of reference for delivery across all the levels.
I am going to recommend this book instead of the one listed - it seems more appropriate.
A good summary of the main research methods used in business. What I like is that it tells you how use the method in a clear concise way. The layout means that it is very easy to focus on the elements you need.
Easy to read and comprehend. Useful for beginners and well-educated learners.
Helpful research methods books for my MA education leadership and management students who will find the management perspective a helpful supplement to social science/education focused works.
I consider this book as useful for my students.
It is quite unique to find in one single book such an approach on research methods in management.
I recommend it as a reference book for the methodology when working on their thesis.
