Selecting from the extensive range of research methodologies remains a challenge for all scholars, not least those studying the world of accounting. Both established and emerging research methods are frequently advocated, creating a challengingly broad range of choices. Covering a wide selection of qualitative methodological issues, research strategies, and methods, this comprehensive new edition provides an essential guide to the choice and execution of qualitative research approaches in this field.
The original chapters included in the previous edition have all been updated to reflect the changing academic and research environment and a significant number of new chapters on several contemporary themes have been introduced. These include research-researched relationship and its effects in interpretive accounting research, translation in accounting research, phenomenology, netnography, counter accounts, autoethnography, virtual field-interviews, and embracing qualitative research in a hostile environment.
This new volume draws on the expertise of cutting-edge scholars in the field, offering insights to enhance knowledge creation and challenge the staid and overused methods and assumptions that often dominate the field. Thus, it is well-suited to the needs of the new generation of researchers, presenting a more cohesive and focused pathway into qualitative research.
