Research Methods For Business – An Overview Of The Eighth
Edition
Pedagogic Features
The Over-Riding Purpose Of Research Methods For Business Students Is To
Help Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students And Students On Professional
Courses To Undertake Research. Each Chapter Deals With A Part Of The
Research Process And Discusses The Ideas, Techniques And Methods Using
As Little Jargon As Is Possible. Tables, Checklists And Diagrams Are Used
To Aid This Discussion. Where New Terms Are Introduced For The First Time,
They Are Shown In Bold, And A Definition Or Explanation Follows Shortly
Afterwards. They Are Also Listed With A Brief Definition In The Glossary. The
Application Of Appropriate Information Technology Is Considered, In Most
Instances As An Integral Part Of The Text. Chapters Have Been Cross-
Referenced As Appropriate, And An Index Is Provided To Help Students
Find Their Way Around The Book.
Focus On Student Research Boxes Are Included Within The Text Of Each
Chapter. These Are Based On Actual Research Projects, Undertaken By
Students, In Which Points Made In The Text Are Illustrated. In Many
Instances, These Worked Examples Illustrate Possible Pitfalls Students May
Come Across While Undertaking Their Research. Where A Pitfall Has Been
Illustrated, It Will, It Is Hoped, Help Your Students Avoid Making The Same
Mistake. Further Illustrations Are Provided By Focus On Management
Research And Research In The News Boxes.
Focus On Management Research Boxes Discuss Recent Research In
, Business And Management. These Are Normally Derived From Refereed
Academic Journal Articles, And Students Are Likely To Be Able To Download
The Actual Articles From Online Databases At Their University.
Focus On Research In The News Boxes Provide Topical News Articles
That Illustrate Pertinent Research-Related Issues. All These Will Help
Students To Understand The Technique Or Idea And To Assess Its
Suitability Or Appropriateness To Their Research. Boxed Checklists

Research.
