The Management Research Handbook Zusammenfassung

The Management Research Handbook N. Craig Smith

The area of organizations and management environments presents special problems for researchers. How far can findings be validated? What can be successfully drawn from the research? How should different contexts such as developing countries be approached? How scientific should the approach be? This collection discusses these issues as it analyzes the whole process of research. The essays range from a theoretical underpinning of techniques to the practical details of writing up findings. By re-examining orthodox methods, the essays put forward a model for research that follows a more scientific approach. The book is structured around three crucial areas that affect the output of management research: the research perspective, method and context. It analyzes techniques such as case studies, interview strategies, team building and mail questionnaires, showing how data can be most effectively gathered and used. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of management.
