Research methods for organizational studies

"This textbook by Donald Schwab introduces social science methods as applied broadly to the study of issues that arise as part of organizational life. These include issues involving organizational participants such as managers, teachers, customers, patients, and clients, and transactions within and between organizations. This new edition features extensive revisions and two entirely new chapters describing modeling and challenges to the interpretation of research models. The last chapter (21) serves as a summary of the entire book, and provides a guide for evaluating the research of others, as well as a guide for conducting successful research."--BOOK JACKET.
