Description

In Approaches to Research, Robin Higgins takes you step by step through what is involved in choosing, organising and presenting a research project. He explains how would-be researchers may draw on their background interests to select their topic, and how what they select will influence their research approach, strategy and design. The book combines practical advice with a look in depth at the principles of qualitative and quantative research. It is a useful companion volume to Approaches to Case Study and to anyone writing a dissertation.
