very sound introduction of the research methods in accounting
I am very pleased to recommend this book to my master students in the next semester.
I recommend this book for adoption. It is a good book for students
A thorough text which contains many insights for the new and established accounting researcher.
I recommend the book to students who, having passed the course, would like to write their bachelor thesis on a course-related subject.
The book was recommended to students as it provides valuable information about the way forward towards a thorough and successful investigation .
Useful book, although it lacks certain nuanches in it's philosophy of science. The examples are a little far fetched too. Overall: useful and essential material for our students.
Excellent book for first time researchers in the field of accounting, could also be useful in other disciplines involving social science research.
A very good well structured book. Easy to read and very informative
A great, easy to follow procedure for accounting students. This is used in conjunction with a class for their research projects.
