As the book addresses the methodological choices available to students and the issues that can arise during the process, it will be particularly valuable to all research students•and to business research students in particular. The pedagogical approach is one of being informative, and the text is written in a conversational style loaded with concrete examples•some from actual theses and dissertations.
