Recensioner i media

From the reviews: "It focuses on the entire research process from start to finish and provides a guide not only for the methods, but for the 'process of learning the life of a researcher.' This well-written and easy-to-read book consists of eight chapters, divided into three parts. Each chapter ends with a list of references for further reading on each subject, totaling 200 in all. ... The book is intended primarily for doctoral students and young scholars in the field of information systems." (Alexei Botchkarev, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2012) Aus den Rezensionen: "...Gerade junge Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden werden sehr von diesem Buch profitieren ... allen Doktoranden in der Wirtschaftsinformatik, besonders am Anfang ihres wissenschaftlichen Projektes, sowie ihren Betreuern zur Verwendung in Kursen des Doktorandenstudiums.
