Synopsis
Bill Starbuck has been one of the leading management researchers in the United States over several decades. In this book he reflects on a number of challenges associated with management and social science research--the search for a "behavioral science", the limits of rationality, the lack of reliability in many research findings, the social shaping of research agendas, cultures and judgements. It is an engaging, autobiographical account in which he discusses some of his own research and various methodological debates.

The Production of Knowledge: The Challenge of Social Science Research
Seller: Wombat's Book Nook, Yarraville, VIC, Australia
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. A compelling and insightful volume from William H. Starbuck, one of the leading management researchers of his generation, 'The Production of Knowledge: The Challenge of Social Science Research' reflects on the complex methodological and philosophical challenges inherent in management and social science inquiry. Starbuck presents an engaging, chronologically structured account, drawing from his own extensive research projects and critical debates within the field.This quasi-autobiographical work delves into the search for a 'behavioral science', critiques the limits of rationality, exposes the unreliability of many research findings, and examines the social shaping of research agendas, cultures, and judgments. It is a 'feisty argument' from an author deeply engaged with all aspects of research - from execution and evaluation to tirelessly questioning assumptions and claims, never shying away from awkward theoretical or practical challenges facing organizational researchers.Well-written, provocative, and unusual, this book promises to inform, entertain, and serve as a valuable guide for current and future research students.Hardcover, in good condition. Issued without a dust jacket, as published. Seller Inventory # SCAN-12-75DC4EA2
