Practical Research: Planning and Design (8th Edition)

Written in uncommonly engaging lucid and elegant prose this book is an “understand-it-yourself do-it-yourself” manual designed to help readers understand the fundamental structure of quality research and the methodical process that leads to genuinely significant results.

It guides the reader step-by-step from the selection of a problem to study through the process of conducting authentic research to the preparation of a completed report with practical suggestions based on a solid theoretical framework and sound pedagogy. This book will show readers two things: 1) that quality research demands planning and design; and 2) how their own research projects can be executed effectively and professionally. For researchers and research analysts in any discipline.
