  • Explores the challenges of working with qualitative data
  • Introduces qualitative methods including interviews, focus groups & ethnography

New to the 2nd edition:

  • The role of digital tools and social media, and how you can use them for data collection
  • 3 new chapters on qualitative content analysis, visual research and publishing research.

Praise for the 1st edition:

`Comprehensive, current and compelling, a winning combination for any research student or practitioner interested in increasing his/her knowledge about qualitative methods as they apply to business research' - The Qualitative Report

Arvustused

Eriksson and Kovalainen have improved on what was already a very useful and usable guide to the theory and application of a range of qualitative methods. All the five new chapters add considerably to the book, but the chapters on content analysis and breaking field boundaries are particularly enlightening. This will be my go to book for research and teaching. -- Albert Mills Comprehensive, current and compelling, a winning combination for any research student or practitioner interested in increasing his/her knowledge about qualitative methods as they apply to business research -- The Qualitative Report
