This book provides the reader with clear pointers for how to conduct
organizational research appropriately, through planning and making informed
and systematic research decisions, to understanding the ethical implications
of applied organizational research, to implementing, reporting and presenting
the findings to the highest possible standards. It provides an overview of a
wide variety of research strategies, methods of data collection (both
qualitative and quantitative) and analysis in a volume accessible to both an
undergraduate, postgraduate and practitioner readership alike.

Organizational Research Methods also represents a useful aid to the report
writing task, indicating ways in which the project material can be most
effectively organised for academic and feedback purposes, and by drawing upon
real-life organizational contexts and examples to help the reader understand
the core issues. Finally, the book offers a clear, manageable procedure for
preparing a presentation to an academic or an organizational audience.

Providing practical guidance on all elements of the research process, this
book will be essential reading to all undergraduate and postgraduate students,
as well as researchers, in psychology, organizational studies and management
disciplines.
