Marcjanna Augustyn – författare

Drawing on examples of sequential and concurrent mixed method studies, this innovative book demonstrates how to use mixed methods approaches in tourism research successfully. Peter Mason, Marcjanna Augustyn and Arthur Seakhoa-King bring together insights from expert authors to demonstrate how to conduct mixed methods research and to outline best practice for teaching mixed methods to tourism students.This How to guide examines how quantitative and qualitative research can be combined, evaluating the various mixed method research designs that have recently come to prominence in tourism studies. Using case study examples, chapters cover research on tourism destination quality, heritage attractions, festivals and events, food tourism and hospitality, alongside the use of participatory geographical information systems. They also explore how to teach mixed methods research to tourism students, emphasising that mixed methods research is an expanding and increasingly important approach to tourism research.How to use Mixed Methods in Tourism Research is an invaluable resource for students and academics in tourism and hospitality, as well as those specialising in research methods within the field. Practitioners within the tourism industry will also find this a useful reference.

The book represents a state of the art review of key research on small firms in tourism in relation to European integration. It is, therefore, an essential resource for those engaged in research relating to tourism SMEs in transitional economies throughout the world. In addition, it is an essential purchase for the increasing number of students studying modules on small businesses as part of their final year undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.One of the key features of this book is its clear focus on breaking new ground by reporting recent research and theorising on small firms in tourism. In many cases, the analysis provided by contributors will carefully relate small business behaviour to issues of wider concern to tourism academics and policy-makers. It is also distinctive for its overt emphasis on contrasting European experiences.These characteristics contrast with the existing literature on small firms in tourism and hospitality, particularly in Europe. Previous literature achieved their aims by providing valuable syntheses of existing literature. Now that such ''taking of stock'' has been undertaken, there is a demand for more overtly research-based texts that are nevertheless accessible to a wide audience. This book does exactly that.
