A comprehensive guide for management and social science researchers to achieve a deeper understanding of the nature of explanation.

Recenzje

‘Eric Tsang is known among management scholars for his work on knowledge transfer and learning, but perhaps particularly for his deeply thoughtful work on how core philosophy ideas can further management research. In this new book he offers his distinctive perspective on classic issues like causation, the structure of explanation, and microfoundations and provides examples throughout from strategy and other management fields. Indispensable for the serious student of management phenomena as well as the established scholar.’ Nicolai J. Foss, Professor, Copenhagen Business School
