Tools for Policy Research

This book is designed as a thesis research manual for students pursuing policy research at a Masters level. It is also intended for students pursuing Masters in Business Administration (MBA) thesis and dissertation research projects. The book is structured in a simple format that takes the student through the entire research process. It assumes a deductive research logic as a strategy to make business managers and policy implementers apply scientific thinking to solving business and policy problems. The authors strongly believe that the book will make a big difference in the research lives of Masters students in Africa and beyond. The complicated treatise of research found in many research methods books usually puts off average students. This book, thus, fills a big gap in readily available, affordable and easily accessible simple research methods books to Masters students in the developing world such as Africa and beyond.
