Building on the acclaimed and successful previous editions, the Third Edition provides further critical updates and illustrations of the applications of reflexive methodology in formulating research strategies.

The authors develop a methodology for identifying and challenging assumptions underlying existing theories and generating research questions, using examples from across the social sciences.

Based on the seminal text from the beginning of the Twenty-first Century, Doing Critical Management Research (SAGE, 2000), Alvesson and Deetz have broadened their focus to provide an authoritative and insightful framework for navigating critical theories and methods across all of the social sciences.

This book offers a unique solution to the shortage of more imaginative and engaging research by re-imagining the core elements of the research process.
