Charlotte Cloutier, Professor of Strategy, Department of Management, HEC Montréal, Canada, Ann Langley, Professor Emeritus, Department of Management, HEC Montréal, Canada and Distinguished Research Environment Professor, University of Warwick, UK and Kevin Corley, Professor of Management, Imperial College London, UK<i>‘This book was much needed. It offers a clear, comprehensive, hands-on treatment of what qualitative research is and how it is done. Not just the theory, but – importantly, and in much detail – the practice. The original choice of using common objections to qualitative papers to inform the discussion of critical steps in designing, doing, and reporting from qualitative studies offers actionable advice that both novice researchers and more experienced readers will find priceless, as they navigate the turbulent waters of the editorial process in the most demanding journals. An ideal companion book to support qualitative methods training in doctoral programmes.’</i>
