Business Research Methods by Emma Bell
Designed as an introduction to doing business research, this book acts as a comprehensive guide for students embarking on their research projects. The authors, together with real students and supervisors, draw on their own experiences so that readers can take note of their tips for success and avoid making their mistakes. Developed specifically with business and management students in mind, this book explores the issues which business research entails, as well as providing students with practical advice on doing research. A new feature has been added to this edition that sees supervisors of research projects from various universities give guidance on how to decide on a project and see it through to a successful conclusion, avoiding common pitfalls. Other changes include the expansion of the discussion of ethics, an increased emphasis on practical content such as planning a project and writing it up, and a substantially updated chapter on internet research methods.

If you are a management or business studies undergraduate or postgraduate, doing either a research methods course or a research dissertation, then this is the book for you - a fantastic resource that covers everything you need in a concise, coherent and clear way* Keith Grint, Professor of Public Leadership & Management Institute of Governance & Public Management (IGPM), Warwick Business School, University of Warwick *
An ideal text for postgraduate and senior undergraduate research courses offered in business schools throughout the world. It is highly readable yet eminently authoritative, refreshingly practical yet academically sound, remarkably comprehensive yet by no means overwhelming. I found this to be a very useful teaching resource as well as reference source and strongly commend it to novice and veteran researchers alike. * Professor Brad Jackson, Fletcher Building Education Trust Chair in Leadership, The University of Auckland Business School *
