Long description:

A key step for researchers wanting to produce interesting and influential theory development is formulating innovative research questions.

In this text, Alvesson and Sandberg have developed a problematization methodology for identifying and challenging the assumptions underlying existing knowledge, and for generating research questions that can lead to more impactful theories.

The second edition of this popular text has been fully updated, with more illustrative examples and insights from a diverse range of recent studies which explore methods for conducting more innovative research. This book is essential reading for students and researchers looking to formulate interesting research questions and conduct more engaging and original research.
