Research Methods in International Business

“This book provides accessible and nuanced coverage of a wide range of methodological topics. … the collection of the readings combines into essential reading for doctoral students and others interested in IB research. In addition, the book’s first-class quality will likely compel others to join and raise the conversation on research methods … . I believe that this comprehensive and excellent book will ably serve as a go-to educational and reference source for researchers conducting and interpreting high-quality IB research.” (Donald Bergh, Journal of International Business Studies, Vol. 52, 2021)
