Acclaim for the first edition:'A tour-de-force of trust research
methodologies, from survey methods to critical incidents to
hermeneutics... will prove invaluable to trust researchers of every
stripe.' - Aks Zaheer, University of Minnesota 'This book fills an
important gap. The burgeoning field of trust research has employed
a wide variety of definitions and methods, but until the appearance
of this Handbook there was no comprehensive overview of them. Its
contributions, many written by leading international experts, cover
conceptual issues as well as qualitative and quantitative methods.
The editors are all working at the frontiers of trust research and
in this Handbook they have compiled an indispensable source of
reference for years to come.' - John Child, University of
Birmingham, UK 'This is the right book at the right time. Central
to the advancement of research on trust is the need to address a
host of methodological, empirical, and analytical challenges. This
Handbook provides a vital resource for doing so and holds the
promise of infusing the literature with novel and enhanced
approaches for studying and understanding trust. Researchers new to
the field as well as established experts will find a wealth of
insights contained herein.' - Bill McEvily, University of Toronto,
Canada Drawing together a wealth of research methods knowledge
gained by trust researchers into one essential volume, this book
provides an authoritative in-depth consideration of quantitative
and qualitative methods for empirical study of trust in the social
sciences. This second edition of the Handbook of Research Methods
on Trust provides a fully updated and extended account of
quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods for empirical research.
While many researchers have already drawn inspiration and insight
from the previous edition, the dynamic development of trust
research calls for further and deeper engagement with
methodological issues, particular methods, practical research
experience, and current challenges and innovations as offered by
this new edition. Identifying innovative methods for researching
trust, this important handbook will prove invaluable for students
and academics in the social sciences who are interested in trust,
particularly postgraduates planning empirical research on trust,
undergraduates researching issues of trust, faculty teaching
research-based courses on trust and related topics, and experienced
trust researchers looking for reflection, discussion and
inspiration. Contributors: S.J. Addison, N. Alex, M.J. Ashleigh, R.

Textbooks and journal articles on research methods are rarely of
help regarding what to do when your research project goes off
track. This book addresses this important, and usually hidden,
aspect of research by providing students and researchers with
insider insights, advice and lessons about the difficulties in the
research process. Written by experienced researchers, PhD
supervisors and examiners, it should prepare the reader for all
that can go wrong when researching a PhD or any large research
project. The starting point of each chapter is the acceptance that
research projects do not always go smoothly. Researchers must find
ways to jump through a myriad of invisible hoops and over a
plethora of hurdles of unknown heights to guide their research,
from conceptualisation of worthwhile projects to the completion and
dissemination to a range of different audiences. The book is
divided into four sections: ?getting started?, ?getting data?,
?getting it together?, and ?getting finished?. Each section
comprises chapters followed by short vignettes ? all of which offer
insights into researchers facing real-world problems or not quite
getting things right in the first instance. This ground breaking
book will give hope to the early-career researcher, the PhD or
Masters student, and provide experienced academics with
reinvigoration and new perspectives on the research process.

The globalized nature of modern organizations presents new and
intimidating challenges for effective relationship building.
Organizations and their employees are increasingly being asked to
manage unfamiliar relationships with unfamiliar parties. These
relationships not only involve working across different national
cultures, but also dealing with different organizational cultures,
different professional cultures and even different internal
constituencies. Managing such differences demands trust. This book
brings together research findings on organizational trust-building
across cultures. Established trust scholars from around the world
consider the development and maintenance of trust between, for
example, management consultants and their clients, senior
international managers from different nationalities, different
internal organizational groupings during times of change,
international joint ventures, and service suppliers and the local
communities they serve. These studies, set in a wide variety of
national settings, are an important resource for academics,
students and practitioners who wish to know more about the nature
of cross-cultural trust-building in organizations.
In Case Study Research, Bill Lee and Mark Saunders describe the
properties of case study designs in organizational research,
exploring the uses, advantages and limitations of case research.
They also demonstrate the flexibility that case designs offer, and
challenges the myths surrounding this approach. Ideal for Business
and Management students reading for a Master's degree, each book in
the series may also serve as reference books for doctoral students
and faculty members interested in the method. Part of SAGE's
Mastering Business Research Methods Series, conceived and edited by
Bill Lee, Mark N. K. Saunders and Vadake K. Narayanan and designed
to support students by providing in-depth and practical guidance on
using a chosen method of data collection or analysis.
