Annotation: The 94 articles of this six-volume set have been carefully selected to capture the current methodological variations in business and management research and to highlight the important philosophical assumptions that underpin these variances. Seminal articles from leading thinkers are drawn together under the umbrella of six key areas and provide a revealing road map through the field of business and management research.

Volume I considers different philosophical stances and their methodological implications, Volumes II to V look at the broad spectrum of research approaches; such as positivism, Neo-Empiricism, the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods and social constructionist approaches. Volume VI explores the challenges associated with trying to evaluate the quality of business and management research.
