This important and original book critically evaluates case study
practices and calls for a more pluralistic future for case research
in international business (IB) and international management (IM).
IB and IM researchers typically rely on a case study approach that
could be characterized as 'qualitative positivism'. The editors and
contributors look beyond this disciplinary convention and encourage
pluralism in IB and IM case research. Their key argument is that
increased awareness of the prevailing disciplinary convention and
its limitations increases the potential for theoretical insight and
methodological versatility in case research. The contributions
provide critical, novel and innovative perspectives on the case
study. The book offers inspiration to case authors, and is an
authoritative methodological reference for reviewers of case
research. Contributors include: P. Ahonen, P. Almond, P.H.
Andersen, S. Blazejewski, M.Y. Brannen, T. Buck, E. Clark, T.

This innovative Handbook draws together and reflects on the
specific methodological challenges that an international business
scholar is likely to face when undertaking a qualitative research
project. With a practical, hands-on approach to methodological
debates, the Handbook raises concerns specific to international
business scholars. Covering the entire life cycle of a research
project from its philosophical underpinnings to publication
hurdles, the book explores existing practices and gives voice to
multiple, even contrasting perspectives. This invaluable source of
experiential knowledge, as well as conceptual understanding, has
been achieved by a truly international authorship. Including
fascinating vignettes written by senior academics, the result is a
guide that will be indispensable. Capturing the experiences and
practices of qualitative researchers, the Handbook of Qualitative
Research Methods for International Business should be on the
bookshelves of students and scholars of IB, researchers in
international management and marketing, and teachers of
cross-cultural and IB research methods.

Abigail is an enthralling story of a young girl who lives on a
small farm in Netherlands with her family. When war breaks out in
1940, her idyllic peaceful life is shattered forever. It is a tale
of first losses, first love, new friendships, ever-lasting
relationships, and most of all, growing up. Through it all she
maintains a sense of courage that is truly inspiring. Abigail will
win your heart.
