‘The Handbook takes an up-to-date and fresh look at a variety of topics quite relevant in business research. In particular, it not only provides updates for many traditionally covered topics, but also extends to other areas often overlooked in the past thereby expanding researchers’ methodological toolbox. The balance in topics emphasizing not just the role of quantitative methods but also qualitative and mixed methods is unique compared to other books published in the last few decades. Students and faculty will appreciate this book in a variety of methods-oriented courses. Congratulations on this useful, applied book!’
