Description

Navigate the MBA research journey with clear methodology, structure and confidence.

Research Methods for MBA Students by Emmanuel Mogaji is a concise and practical textbook designed for postgraduate students undertaking business research modules and projects. Recognizing the time pressures and applied focus of MBA and Masters programs, it provides a structured pathway for completing a dissertation or company-based research project within tight deadlines.

Mirroring the key stages of the research process, the book guides students through topic selection, refining research questions, conducting a focused literature review and choosing appropriate qualitative or quantitative methods. It then supports effective data collection, rigorous analysis and the presentation of meaningful, actionable findings. A distinctive three-month completion framework provides a clear timeline that aligns with MBA program structures, helping students manage milestones and maintain momentum.

Grounded in real-world examples from organizations including AstraZeneca, Bentley Motors, the NHS, Holland and Barrett and Railway Operators, Emmanuel Mogaji connects academic research principles with applied business problem solving.
