In addition, we have included a copy of a research project as signment, a group research project poster assignment and a copy of a dissertation proposal assignment as appendices. Research Methods for Business – an overview of the eighth edition Pedagogic features The over-riding purpose of Research Methods for Business Students is to help undergraduate and postgraduate students and students on professional courses t o undertake research. Each chapter deals with a part of the research process and discusses the ideas, techniques and methods using as little jargon as is possible. Tables, checklists and diagrams are used to aid this discussion. Where new terms are introduced for the first time, they are shown in bold, and a definition or explanation follows shortly afterwards. They are also listed with a brief definition in the glossary. The application of appropriate information technology is considered, in most instances as an integral part of the text. Chapters have been cross-
referenced as appropriate, and an index is provided to help students find their way around the book. Focus on student research boxes are included within the text of each chapter. These are based on actual research projects, undertaken by students, in which points made in the text are illustrated. In many instances, these worked examples illustrate possible pitfalls students may come across while undertaking their research. Where a pitfall has been illustrated, it will, it is hoped, help your students avoid ma king the same mistake. Further illustrations are provided by focus on management research and resea rch in the news boxes. Focus on management research boxes discuss recent research in business and management. These are normally derived from refereed academic jo urnal articles, and students are likely to be able to download the actual articles from online databases at their university. Focus on research in the news boxes provide topical news articles that illustrate pertinent research-related issues. All these will help students to understand the technique or idea 6 © Pearson Education Limited 2019 and to assess its suitability or appropriateness to their research. Boxed checklists provide students with further focussed guidance for their own research.
