The original chapters included in the previous edition have all been updated to reflect the changing academic and research environment and a significant number of new chapters on several contemporary themes have been introduced. These include research-researched relationship and its effects in interpretive accounting research, translation in accounting research, phenomenology, netnography, counter accounts, autoethnography, virtual field-interviews, and embracing qualitative research in a hostile environment.
This new volume draws on the expertise of cutting-edge scholars in the field, offering insights to enhance knowledge creation and challenge the staid and overused methods and assumptions that often dominate the field. Thus, it is well-suited to the needs of the new generation of researchers, presenting a more cohesive and focused pathway into qualitative research.
