Strang K.D. (ed.) The Palgrave Handbook of Research Design in Business and Management

Palgrave Macmillan, 2015. — 602 p. — ISBN: 9781137379924Any research study needs a solid design before data collection or analysis can begin. This design ensures that any experimental evidence obtained by a researcher serves its purpose in making the researcher's argument more robust. Just as an architect prepares a blueprint before they approve a construction project, a researcher needs to prepare a plan before they start the research.
The Palgrave Handbook of Research Design in Business and Management uses a new state-of-the-art research design typology model to guide researchers in creating the blueprints for their experiments. By focusing on theory and cutting-edge empirical best-practices, this handbook utilizes visual techniques to appease all learning styles.
