The 25th global forum on the future of leadership, learning and strategic change in Dubai, March 20–23, 2022

In an edited book, the style and tone changes from chapter to chapter, some authors have a discursive style, others are theoretical in tone, and some offer technical approaches and frameworks for analysis. However, it flows well and there is logic to the two-part structure which aligns to the progression of a professional doctorate. This is not a ‘how to guide’ as it offers a much broader philosophical discussion, I found the activities section that punctuate each chapter a little distracting. The extended bibliography is particularly useful in offering a summary of key texts. The tone is appropriate, although new students may need time to digest sections. Overall, a well-presented research method book for the scholarly practitioner which my colleagues and I refer to regularly.
