Second edition of Management Research book is here

You have heard seen me talking, here, about the preparation of the second edition of the Management Research book, that I co-authored with Susan Rose and Nigel Spinks. I shared when I completed the first draft of “my” sections; when we submitted the manuscript; when we were working on the website materials, and when we reviewed the proofs.

Well, I am delighted to say that the book is finally here. Hooray. [yes, it does feel great to hold a physical copy of your book].

The book is structured around the key stages of a typical research project in the management field, aiming to guide novice researchers through the process, rather than dig deep into discussions or explanations of different techniques. Though, once you have gained an understanding of the key issues, and you have decided on a particular path (e.g., conduct a case study vs a survey), we do signal to where you can learn more about those topics. The online resources include tutorials on various quantitative and qualitative techniques and tools, as well as datasets with which to practice those techniques.

You can order the book, here. It is also possible to order a free inspection copy, if you teach Research Methods, or a related topic.
