Software for qualitative as well as quantitative analysis. Search strategies for electronic sources in literature reviewing. How to write a reference when you've cited an electronic source. Ethical guidelines for business research specifically, as opposed to research in general.
MORE on: Writing a research proposal for assessment by your tutor. Emergency techniques if you're not sure of the topic to choose. Sample marking schemes for different levels of dissertation. Discourse analysis.
DETAILED REVISIONS AND UPDATES of: Professional bodies' examination objectives. Turning an initial idea into a research objective. The epistemology of the research process.
