Great for those students who are undertaking primary research in organisational contexts, recommended to them and to library
This book is primarily aimed at students who are external to the organisation being studied and so deals at length with issues like entry and exit. By contrast, the majority of my students are researching organisations in which they themselves work. The sections on the design and conduct of research are still of interest and I would recommend the whole book to the few students who are not able to (or choose not to) research their own organisation.
I feel my students will love the way this book looks at research.
My course concerns organizational communication, so this book offers important background information but falls somewhat outside the scope of my teaching.
Alternative approach to researching organizations.
Shows the challenge and complexity of researching organisations and gives guidance on how to respond. A very useful resource to any researcher.
This text details how and what to do regarding researching organisations. Both academics and students will find it very helpful. I highly recommend it.
Highly recommended and will be used by colleagues and students alike, in orientating towards research projects addressing organisations and their processes. Some gaps - the lack of engagement with narratiove and sensemaking literature - are noticeable. But the essentials are there.
This text is useful for those wanting to undertake practical research on organisations. It includes a multitude of considerations pertinent to this field.
This is a very useful book for research students. A clear and well-detailed section is provided on the research process. There are some valuable practice-based insights.
Possibly somewhat detailed for the undergraduate level of research. The text does however offer some very good examples from which more capable students can begin to develop their own practice.
