توجه داشته باشید کتاب روش تحقیق مدیریت: ادغام اصول، روش ها و تکنیک ها (برای VTU) نسخه زبان اصلی می باشد و کتاب ترجمه شده به فارسی نمی باشد. وبسایت اینترنشنال لایبرری ارائه دهنده کتاب های زبان اصلی می باشد و هیچ گونه کتاب ترجمه شده یا نوشته شده به فارسی را ارائه نمی دهد.
موضوع روش تحقیق مدیریت، جذاب و پیچیده است. یک دانشجو یا یک شاغل در تحقیقات مدیریت فریفته عدم قطعیت در جستجو و شناسایی مسئله تحقیق، شیفته پیامدهای طراحی تحقیق، و موانع در دستیابی به داده های دقیق و پیچیدگی های تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها است. این کتاب به دنبال درمان متوازن همه این جنبهها است و تکنیکهای حل مسئله، جنبههای خلاقیت، مدلسازی ریاضی و رویکردهای کیفی را در هم میآمیزد تا موضوع روش تحقیق مدیریت را به شیوهای شفاف و به راحتی قابل درک ارائه کند.
The subject of Management Research Methodology is enthralling and complex. A student or a practitioner of management research is beguiled by uncertainties in the search and identification of the research problem, intrigued by the ramifications of research design, and confounded by obstacles in obtaining accurate data and complexities of data analysis. This book seeks a balanced treatment of all these aspects and blends problem-solving techniques, creativity aspects, mathematical modelling and qualitative approaches in order to present the subject of Management Research Methodology in a lucid and easily understandable way.
