Most often than not we face adilemma in seeking answers to this question. The challenge becomes pronouncedwhen we begin to evaluate the different requirements of the diverse academicaudiences in the social sciences and business. So what really makes a goodresearch? In this book, I attempt to provide a general outline which can beconsidered as being essential for a good research thesis. Though this is notexhaustive, it will be of help, especially to young researchers. The purpose is notto create a 'one best format', but to offer guidelines in starting a research projectand the preparation of long essays, theses and dissertations for submission. This book is essential for anyone involved in business and social science studies.
