Research Methods for Organisational Studies

چکیده
This chapter examines organisational behaviour research by using the case study approach. The study of organisational behaviour is a broad subject area. The paper outlines our experiences of identifying a research topic, justification of the topic within the context of published literature and the selection of suitable research methodologies. Within this, we identify what the research questions are and how the research is undertaken to address these questions, ensuring that the legal and ethical issues are considered.
