Description of Methodology for Creating Business Knowledge

'Arbnor and Bjerke's deep insight into theory construction and their honest appraisal of knowledge creation makes this edition absolutely essential for business scholars. I recommend this book to scholars in any area of business seeking a more thoughtful and useful understanding of research methodology' - Morgan Miles, Professor of Marketing, Georgia Southern University. 'These are two authors on top of their game, using their vast experience and depth of knowledge to present a complex topic in a framework which is understandable and usable by anyone doing academic research. This third edition will ensure that this book remains the essential read for social science researchers' - David Carson, Professor of Marketing, University of Ulster. Arbnor and Bjerke's best-selling text, first published in 1997, remains unrivalled; both in its contemporary relevance to research methodology, and in its coverage of the interplay between the philosophy of science, methodology and business. The authors make an in-depth examination into the circularity of knowledge and its foundations and analyze the repercussions for business, research and consulting.
Where knowledge is a competitive necessity understanding its foundations is a necessity. The third edition has been updated to be even more relevant to the contemporary interests of business knowledge. Additional extras include: several more examples are included, plus previous examples have been updated; improved illustrations and diagrams; revised presentation makes the book easier to use; useful summaries of the key points and concepts to aide accessibility; points of reflection allow the reader to further their thinking on the topics; a glossary of terms; and, a teacher's manual which can be requested from the book's website.

Customer Reviews of Methodology for Creating Business Knowledge

  • Compelling, must-readThis work is inspiring for both researchers, consultants and entrepreneurs in the field of business and business intelligence. The chapters are absorbing, comprehensible and surprisingly straight-forward for creating business knowledge, and can be read separately or in sequence. The work is accessible enough for undergraduate students, but rich enough to serve as a valuable deepening understanding of methodology for graduate and PhD students. I’m glad that my professor had picked this book.
