This comprehensive overview of all aspects of the publishing process has been written especially for prospective authors who want to learn more about the field to advance their careers and publishing success. More than just a `how to' book, this volume explains the entire context of scholarly publishing and how it should, ideally, work toward advancing knowledge and successful management practice.
This volume explores the doing of research - as a `journey' for those involved. It looks at the meanings of exemplary research practice. Authors' descriptions of the origins, experiences and outcomes of their own research are interwoven with commentaries on these by other major figures in the field.

Given the editor's objective to `reframe' rather than `revisit' organizational culture, I contend they succeeded. The content and extensive bibliography render it an excellent supplement for the academic audience: for those already in the field, the book provides a thorough update and challenge to the cutting edge; for those new to the field, the book offers a balanced and encouraging overview without intimidation....

Combined with a unique emphasis on process, this volume also includes reflections from the editors, pointing out their values, biases, beliefs, perceptions and experiences in research, and lending a human dimension to the research process.
