Recenzii

With translations of key terms and practical, relevant examples for Chinese students, Huiping Xian and Yue Meng-Lewis’ book very clearly explains the mechanics of how to do research but also delves into important issues affecting researching in context. The straightforward descriptions, templates, figures of key concepts, and section specifically examining culture and language make this book both an extremely valuable resource and an enjoyable read for students and researchers.

This book is timely, innovative and important. Its main target group, Chinese students of business and management, will benefit significantly from reading it. Not only will they get hands-on advice about developing a research project, they will also understand the role of language and translation in framing thoughts and when working with empirical data.

This is a valuable book for Chinese students as well as anyone who need guidance in conducting professional research. The unique value this book creates is its additional focus on Chinese context as well as translation of key concepts and definition with Chinese translation. This is the first business research methods book written for Chinese instead of being a research methods textbook translated from English to Chinese. This is a ‘must buy’ textbook for the Chinese speaking community.
 

This book has been carefully crafted to support Chinese students confronted with the numerous challenges of higher education systems that may be distant from their own. By developing a practice-oriented guide on research projects, Xian and Meng-Lewis cover a very relevant gap between education systems. In so doing, this book ends up providing an incredible support tool that is not limited to Chinese students only.
 

As a Chinese speaker and a beginner in academic research, this book provided me a general understanding of the research process along with the methods that can be used for my dissertation. The conclusion is written in Chinese and was extremely helpful to understand the methods in a short period of time.
I find your new book really helpful! I will recommend it to all my classmates.
Finally there is a research methodology book for Chinese students! This book explains research philosophy and other complex concepts in a simple way. It fills the gap of the area which were not taught in traditional Chinese Higher Education. The book makes it much easier to understand the complicated concepts especially the logic behind it in my own language. It has been quite helpful to me in conducting a doctoral research project
