    Dear colleagues

    I am assisting with the development of an undergraduate module on business research methods.  Unlike other research methods modules in our business school which are precursors to a student research project or dissertation, this module is intended to prepare students directly for business research in their careers.  Can anyone suggest an accessible textbook with that focus?

    Many thanks – Piers

    I taught business research in our core curriculum in business admin for many years.

    My favorite book was Zikmund's Business Research Methods. However editions after Zikmund's passing I did not find as useful.

    I would recommend Cooper & Schindler's Business Research Methods.
