Research Design in Social Research

I read this text for a Leadership Research and Design Logic post-graduate course. Previously, though I had done action research projects and completed a number of what could be considered case studies as part of my job, I had not actively explored formal research design. In that sense, this book was enormously helpful. The writing was accessible. There were times, in the latter sections, when references to earlier concepts hindered comprehension. Ultimately, though, this is a good introductory text for those wishing to learn a little more about basic research design.
