A useful book that covers the topic in an accessible way. It is particularly useful for my students, who do research in organizations.

It's often too late in the research process when students realise what is required to obtain rich data from interviews. Cassell's text provides a super guide to planning this critical part of the research process. As the saying goes 'fail to prepare, prepare to fail'. By reading Cassesll's those who are conducting interviews have the opportunity to develop strong questions which can deliver great insights. Readers are also given foresight and prompts about the actual process of conducting interviews through different means. Additionally, and due to the length of the text it's a way to get a lot of guidance very quickly.

Too much information on a limited subject. Only interesting for students who really need to know the subject in detail.

This is an excellent book to refer students to who are planning to use interviews in their research project.

It's a good and helpful book.
But I tend to prefer the Brinkmann & Kvale though.

Decent overview of the interview but could have offered a little more by way of structure of interviews and what students can do with interviews.

Most students have limited (often no) prior experience of conducting research interviews and this is a very accessible guide to both the research philosophy and design aspects and the practicalities. I will also find it useful for myself in advising students on how they might use interview techniques in their research.

SAGE Research Methods is a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. SAGE Research Methods links over 175,000 pages of SAGE’s renowned book, journal and reference content with truly advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings. Since SAGE Research Methods focuses on methodology rather than disciplines, it can be used across the social sciences, health sciences, and more.

With SAGE Research Methods, researchers can explore their chosen method across the depth and breadth of content, expanding or refining their search as needed; read online, print, or email full-text content; utilize suggested related methods and links to related authors from SAGE Research Methods' robust library and unique features; and even share their own collections of content through Methods Lists. SAGE Research Methods contains content from over 720 books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks, the entire “Little Green Book,” and "Little Blue Book” series, two Major Works collating a selection of journal articles, and specially commissioned videos.
