'The book is very simplistically written and, I consider that undergraduate students would find maximum chapters easy to comprehend and apply. I strongly recommend Qualitative Methodologies and Data Collection Methods: Toward Increased Rigour in Management Research for general and qualitative methodology courses and for practitioners and researchers searching for direction in planning or gaining a superior comprehension of qualitative research. It is an excellent book that gives brief and accommodating portrayals of major ascribes of qualitative research and priceless examples for planning and conducting research studies and various data collection methods in qualitative exploration.'Technological Forecasting & Social Change Globalisation opens new frontiers of research that require advanced research methods. While quantitative methods are ideal in some situations, qualitative methods are more appropriate for responding to 'how' questions in new contexts. They aim to understand and provide a holistic picture via interaction - a unique advantage over quantitative methods. This textbook for graduate students introduces qualitative research and covers major qualitative methodologies and data collection methods.The choice of methodologies in this book is based on their actual applicability in management research. This approach provides a hands-on emphasis while maintaining both scientific rigour and rooting, and a high practicality level with respect to problem analysis, the collection of data, and the way this data should be analysed.Students and researchers will benefit from features including explanations of the advantages and disadvantages of methodological choices, and elaborated examples of good articles. The reader will acquire an overview of current methodologies, which will facilitate the choice process with respect to research approaches, and is also encouraged to bring personal research skills to a higher level.
