Rezensionen

Approaches to using internet data in management research usually focus on large quantitative datasets. Here, Whiting and Pritchard outline a long overdue, innovative, qualitative approach to gaining research insights from on-line material. As part of the SAGE Mastering Business Research Methods series, the authors tracking and trawling method will prove revolutionary for Masters students. However, management scholars in general will also deeply appreciate this little gem of a book as not just presenting a novel on-line method but also an invaluable source of advice on addressing challenges like ethical and copyright issues in this rapidly growing area of research.
