First published in 1972, this book combines concepts from the
philosophy of science and statistics with social science techniques
to form a methodological text for all those engaged in the social
sciences and in management. It details the processes of inquiry
namely description, explanation, evaluation and prediction and
shows the role they play in prescriptive decision-making. It is
argued that an understanding of these processes lies behind
successful inquiry and is an aid to effective decision-making.
Broad in scope, this reissue will help the decision-maker avoid
some of the errors that can arise in moving from a set of stated
goals to the selection of the course of action that will achieve
these goals. It will appeal to all those engaged in inquiry in the
fields of sociology, psychology, political science, and business
and management studies, as well as the manager in both the public
and private sector."
