Business Research Methods : A Practical Approach by Sheila Cameron

Business Research Methods : A Practical Approach by Sheila Cameron

Organizations need research, and managers have to be able to commission, judge and use others' research as well as conduct research themselves to inform business decisions. Business Research Methods helps you understand the challenges of carrying out worthwhile research into significant issues and develop a wide range of research-related professional skills. Guiding you through the process of selecting, carrying out and reporting on a successful research project, it breaks down the research process, from exploring the literature and crafting a research proposal to practical research management and addressing the transferable skills of project management and communication.

Business Research Methods places research firmly in the real world, exploring why research is done and how to ensure that projects are meaningful for organizations. Examples and case studies, including examples of students' projects, give learners with little or no work experience a meaningful context in which to relate their own projects. Online supporting resources for lecturers include an instructor's manual with additional activities and supporting handouts, lecture slides and figures and tables from the text. Resources for students include web links, templates, quizzes, activities, examples of practice and sample questionnaire results for students.

Price, Deborah: - Deborah (Deb) Price, RN, MSN, envisions a growing peaceful death revolution in which we all make our own fully informed choices as we contemplate and prepare for our inevitable death. She is a champion for choosing hospice care at end of life over acute care provided by hospitals. Deb urges you to think about death before a health crisis makes you vulnerable to the do everything approach that often occurs in acute healthcare settings, the antithesis of the peaceful, comfortable death you may experience in your own home, surrounded by loved ones. Without proper planning, both the dying and their families risk heartbreaking guilt and regret instead of loving comfort at the end of life. It is Deb's rally cry that we all can be more in control of our own lives until our last breath. Planning a good death is the ultimate last act of love for ourselves and for those we love. Throughout her 45-year career in nursing (that included service in the USAF), Deb knew that providing quality care for the dying was the ultimate form of nursing for her. Inspired by Dr. Patch Adams and fellow nurse, Patty Wooten, Deb also became a therapeutic hospital clown (Nurse Hug-A-Bunch) to bring laughter to patients undergoing clinical research protocols. In addition to her work in clinical research, assisted living, and eldercare, Deb became certified in hospice and palliative nursing as well, and volunteered to provide care to patients in an inpatient hospice facility. She remains a member of the Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses Association. Her hospice experience and many other nursing experiences compelled her to write this book as a guide for everyone who is going to die. Deb continues her work in health communication and science writing for the National Institutes of Health while she and her husband enjoy life in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in upstate South Carolina.
