Dear Colleagues
I am currently working on a literature review for a
research project on teaching research methods to business
students. I list the references I have found so far, below,
in case anyone else is also interested in this subject.
However, I am sure this list is far from complete. Can
anyone recommend other published sources I might find
helpful? I will of course post a round-up to the list in
due course.
Warm regards and many thanks
Charles
