Glossary

At last, a book that brings mixed methods into the realm of business research in an accessible and meaningful way for both experienced and less experienced researchers. It has made me rethink how powerful mixed methods research can be, especially in the policy and engagement realm of academic scholarship. Whether you are designing or completing a small or large project, this is the ‘go to’ book and should be a compulsory text for all business research students.
