A good introduction for undergraduates and above.
This was an interesting and easy to use book
Very useful as a text on one element of a dissertation
A very clear, easy to read text, providing students with excellent guidance for completion of dissertation projects. This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students and will enhance research and writing skills.
A very useful and readable guide for research students about the tricky stage of their dissertation when they have to review existing literature. Deals well with the dilemmas students face, e.g. how to avoid just telling the reader everything you know about a subject.
I recommend this to all my research students and students following research methods training courses.
Used and recommended occasionally with students who I see on a one-to-one basis
Useful references and ideas. Will help students on post graduate courses who have little research experience
An excellent read for students new to Lit Reviews - not only Business related research projects
A useful text for students completing dissertation projects. This comprehensive text outlines clearly and carefully the requirements for producing an excellent literature review.
This is an excellent book for my students.
