Paperback. Condition: New. Formulating Research Problems addresses one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of research: how to define and frame the problem at the heart of a study. While most research methods texts devote only a few pages to this question, Johan Alvehus offers a dedicated, accessible, and practical guide that helps students move beyond vague topics toward the development of clear, rigorous, and creative research problems.This book introduces four complementary approaches. The gap approach builds on existing literature to identify what is missing. The grounded approach starts from empirical material to surface new problems. The mystery approach invites students to create puzzles and challenge taken-for-granted assumptions. Finally, the actor approach engages with problems experienced by social actors and reformulates them in theoretical terms. Each approach is explained with clarity, outlining its strengths, pitfalls, and examples, enabling students to use them independently or in combination. Concise, practical, and versatile, this book is suitable across disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and applied fields.Already widely adopted in its original Swedish edition, this book is designed for undergraduate and Master's students writing theses, while also offering valuable guidance for DBA and early PhD students developing their research projects.…

Paperback. Condition: New. At the beginning of writing a thesis, many questions arise, for example. How do I know that I have formulated a relevant research problem? Have I chosen the right empirical method? Are interviews or observations appropriate? How should I structure my text to get my point across in the best way? What exactly is a theory? How can the quality of my work be assessed?Crafting Your Thesis is a broad and accessible handbook in qualitative methods that gives you clear and concise answers to these questions - and many more. The book can be used both in introductory university courses, where you as a student encounter questions of method for perhaps the first time, and right up to Master's thesis level, where it gives a quick overview of different available qualitative methods and highlights questions that must be dealt with when crafting the thesis.…
