Produktbeschreibung

This innovative research design text will help you make informed choices when carrying out your research project.

- causality

- categories and classification

- heterogeneity

- interdependence

- time

This book will appeal to students and researchers looking for an in-depth understanding of research design issues to help them design their projects in a thoughtful and responsible way.
