Research Methods for Business & Management (General)
February 2006 | 2 464 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
These 120 articles have been carefully selected to capture the current methodological variations in business and management research and to highlight the important philosophical assumptions that underpin these variances.
Seminal articles from leading thinkers are drawn together under the umbrella of six key areas and provide a revealing road map through the field of business and management research.
Volume 1 considers different philosophical stances and their methodological implications, Volumes 2 to 5 look at the broad spectrum of research approaches; such as positivism, Neo-Empiricism, the combination of qualitative and quantative Methodologies and social constructionist approaches. Volume 6 explores the challenges associated with trying to evaluate the quality of business and management research.
