Summary:

"This Handbook provides an incisive, rigorous and contemporary guide to research methods in the continually evolving area of corporate governance, offering a welcome focus on holistic approaches to research. Not only analysing existing research methods dominated by the quantitative-qualitative dichotomy, it also explores the crucial need to challenge assumptions and methodologies in order to advance research in the field. Engaging with critical discussions of corporate governance, this Handbook presents novel approaches to research designs and practices including data collection, sampling and analysis in corporate governance, encouraging scholars to move beyond existing paradigms and conceptions. Its coupling of case studies with theoretical approaches allows the Handbook to scrutinise basic issues in the field while also delving into unknown territory to advance and, indeed, revolutionise methods. Chapters offer a timely opportunity to explore, revisit and critically examine new methodological insights and innovations in the corporate governance scholarship with the purpose of advancing diversity and novel theorising in this field. This Handbook presents an engaging, innovative and invaluable guide to researchers and higher education students in corporate governance and business management, along with scholars investigating research methods in the corporate governance field"-- Provided by publisher.
