Résumé

This is an introductory text on the process of research in business and management. It will enable undergraduate, taught postgraduates and MBA students to develop the skills to carry out rigorous research, using a structured approach to the research process from defining the research question, through the selection of methods, to producing a final report. The authors' style is friendly and supportive, occasionally humorous, and they acknowledge the chaos, uncertainty and sometimes complexity inherent in research projects. Research methodologies are explained with great clarity, relating theory to practice throughout. There is a comprehensive website to accompany this text including both lecturer and student resources.
