Hopefully this will help students in the most important area of study.' - Jonathan Groucutt, Oxford Brookes University 'I think the idea for the publication is sound ... students are always looking for a clear and straightforward introduction to Management Research and management research projects and I think the proposal has a good deal of commercial appeal.
