Praise for the First Edition:

`Provides excellent value for money - especially for graduate students just being introduced to research methods and marketing practitioners without a strong grounding in research methods who want to read statistically loaded academic research' - Journal of Marketing Research

Media Reviews
One of the more interesting nuggets to fly off the Sage press in recent months has been this valuable little book. It is, in fact, a dictionary. Statistical and methodological terms are alphabetized, with brief definitions presented. The language in the text is concise and definitions are often presented with clear examples. Finally, the book realistically lives up to its title as being a `non-technical guide.' -- Manuel J. Tejeda * Research Methods Division Newsletter of the Academy of Management *
