Editorial Reviews

'Each chapter adopts a different discipline or approach to illuminate the theory, methodology and conclusions that will be helpful to all students and academics.' - Institute of Health Management.

'Managers whose bookshelves are creaking under the weight of research method texts may balk at the thought of yet another addition, yet I would urge them to find space for this slim volume.' - Health Service Journal, Tim Freeman
