‘This book is essential reading for any researcher using qualitative methods in finance. Filled with insights from leading researchers, the book is broken down into three major sections. The first covers best practice in qualitative research techniques, followed by a detailed guide to publishing your work. The final section is a series of 10 chapters, each written by experts in their fields and each representing an exemplar case study in qualitative research. I highly recommend this outstanding book to all finance researchers and I look forward to seeing the positive impacts its lessons will have on future research.’
