The Real Life Guide to Accounting Research (Paperback Edition) cover

Practical tips on how to undertake research and get findings published

Suitable for researchers in business, accounting and finance, this book features articles, which address a range of issues and obstacles that researchers have confronted at various stages in their respective research careers.The Real Life Guide to Accounting Research is a book that goes behind the more official presentations and accounts of research methods to explore the lived experiences, joys and mistakes of a wide range of international researchers principally working in the fields of accounting and finance, but also in management, economics and other social sciences. The authors of the articles in this book address a wide range of issues and obstacles that they have confronted at various stages in their respective research careers. In reflecting on their personal experiences, they provide practical guidance on how to overcome the types of problems that typically confront researchers in their day-to-day work.

"The book is a must for inclusion on postgraduate research methods courses, for no other accounting contribution comes so close to capturing the flavour and practice of actually conducting qualitative research from conception to publication."--Trevor Hopper, PACIFIC ACCOUNTING REVIEW
