v v v v v v v v v v




Pedagogic features v




The over-riding purpose of Research Methods for Business Students is to help undergraduate
v v v v v v v v v v v v




and postgraduate students and students on professional courses to undertake research.
v v v v v v v v v v v




Each chapterdeals with a part of the research process and discusses the ideas, techniques and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




methods using as little jargon as is possible. Tables, checklists and diagrams are used to aid
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




this discussion. Wherenew terms are introduced for the first time, they are shown in bold, and
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




a definition or explanation follows shortly afterwards. They are also listed with a brief
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




definition in the glossary. The application of appropriate information technology is
v v v v v v v v v v v




considered, in most instances as an integral part of the text. Chapters have been cross-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




referenced as appropriate, and an index is provided to help students find their way around
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the book.
v v




Focus on student research boxes are included within the text of each chapter. These are
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




based on actual research projects, undertaken by students, in which points made in the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




text are illustrated. In many instances, these worked examples illustrate possible pitfalls
v v v v v v v v v v v v




students may come across while undertaking their research. Where a pitfall has been
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




illustrated, it will, it is hoped, help your students avoid making the same mistake. Further
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




illustrations are provided by focus on management research and research in the news
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




boxes.

, Focus on management research boxes discuss recent research in business and
v v v v v v v v v v




management. These are normally derived from refereed academic journal articles, and
v v v v v v v v v v v




students are likely to be able to download the actual articles from online databases at their
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




university.
v




Focus on research in the news boxes provide topical news articles that illustrate
v v v v v v v v v v v v




pertinent research-related issues. All these will help students to understand the
v v v v v v v v v v v




technique or idea and to assess its suitability or appropriateness to their research. Boxed
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




checklists provide students withfurther focussed guidance for their own research.
