Previous editions of this book have been used in various research methods courses with great success. For many years the book has helped thousands of my own students (undergraduate students, graduate students and executive students), as well as many more around the world, to carry out their research projects. The great strength of Research Methods for Business is that students find it clear, informal, easy to use and unintimidating. I have tried to maintain these strengths in this eighth edition

Ethical issues relating to research and the aspects of business, data collection, and data analysis are integrated throughout the book. * The issues in cross-national research in sampling and data collection are thoroughly discussed. * The qualitative-quantitative aspects of research are brought together through a case study on the final chapter.
