Full Description

Research Design Using Systemic Thinking provides a fresh approach to conducting research, emphasising the importance of systemic thinking as a framework for structuring scientific inquiry.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to navigating the research process, from formulating a research problem to synthesising findings. It bridges theoretical insights and practical application, ensuring that readers can effectively communicate their research using scientifically rigorous methods. This book helps readers move beyond specific research techniques, providing a general scientific method applicable across disciplines. Key features include an exploration of scientific language, theory development, problem analysis, and hypothesis formulation, all through the lens of systemic thinking. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to approach and resolve complex research challenges, develop conceptual models, and offer clear explanations, making it an essential resource for researchers at any stage. Ideal for postgraduate students, early-career researchers, and established academics, this book is a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their research design skills.

It is suitable for individuals engaged in a variety of fields, including social sciences, business, humanities, and more, and is an excellent supplementary text for research methodology courses.
