Supplements
A useful text for managers starting on a course of research for the first time.
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.
An extremely useful text for part-time, post graduate students with work experience - John Gill speaks their language.
Although the book is quite interesting as such it is broad in concept. In my course I focus on quantitative and qualitative research in greater detail, while not discussing experiments and philosophical issues. Therefore I consider the book supplemental.
The perfect book for introducing students to write their bachelor or master thesis.
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.
This is a very practical text with a particular focus on managers.
Good for post-grads.
I recommend the book to students who, having passed the course, would like to write their bachelor thesis on a course-related subject.
