Dr. Elaine Farndale Professor of Human Resource Management

Book Title: Approaches to Social Enquiry: Advancing Knowledge

Author: Norman Blaikie

Selection Statement:

This book introduced me to the different research paradigms of social inquiry during my doctoral studies. Importantly, I remember reading it day after day sitting on a beach while on vacation. Not common vacation reading, but so engrossing as I discovered that the way I see the world around me may not be the same as others see it. I have since built a career from this idea that lies at the heart of understanding international and cross-cultural human resource management.
