简介
编辑推荐

本书主要是为MBA、管理科学硕士与经管专业的本科生而写的,也适用于博士生与处于研究初级阶段的其他研究者。大多数学院与大学都要求研究生与本科生在学业完成的最后阶段撰写学位论文或研究报告,这些学生就是本书的主要目标读者。本书采用一种综合的方法,特别适用于经管研究,对咨询人员和做研究项目、正解决某一问题以及撰写报告的商业人士也是非常有用的。

内容推荐

本书的目的旨在帮助学生消除那种认为研究“太过于科学化”或“太抽象”的错误观念;帮助学生了解科学与研究的语言及方法;帮助他们懂得那些结构合理与论证恰当的报告是如何比那些仅以实践方法或常识为基础的报告更令人信服和更可靠的;综合并简化研究过程,为学生提供实践指南,这样他们就能够有效地完成研究项目,写出好的论文和项目报告。
