As the importance of marketing to business grows, and as new concepts and applications of marketing emerge and evolve, so too does the need for up-to-date market intelligence. This book recognizes that the contribution which qualitative research can make to market understanding and insight is immense, and that statistical information flows are never enough but need to be compounded by market intelligence gained through qualitative methods.

Qualitative Marketing Research clearly explains the use and importance of qualitative methods, clarifying the theories behind the methodology and providing concrete examples and exercises which illustrate its application to Management Studies and Marketing.

This book is intended for all students of marketing who are required to complete their studies with a dissertation or research project.

One of the book main strengths is its focus on the links between philosophy and practice. Inevitably the author had to cut corners at times in the light of the wide scope of the topic. For instance the definition of action research does not seem to include the human justice dimension and the book could benefit from a clearer distinction between this method and its tools of research.
