In this practical and introductory book Gillham provides guidance on: finding the right group to respond to the survey; developing the right questions to ask; understanding the different types of sampling; and analysing the data produced by the survey. "The Real Word Research" series provides readers in a variety of fields - academia, business and the professions - with accessible concise and reliable guides to all of the important aspects of research projects and their methods.
