Dear Colleagues,
Please find below all the recommendation I got for reference of research in Business
I also recommend
Research Methods for Business: A Skill-Building Approach Uma Sekaran (Author) ISBN-13: 978-0471331667
as an easy reading for MBA and undergraduate students
I like Shadish and also Nunnally
Shadish, Cook, and Campbell. Experimental and quasi-experimental methods for generalized causal inference.
The above book is the gold standard in experimental design. But it is a bit heavy.
A nice complement (recommended reading I guess) to this book would be:
Aronson, Ellsworth, Carlsmith, Gonzales. Methods of research in social psychology.
Schwab, D. P. (2005). Research methods for organizational studies, 2nd Edition. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers. (ISBN 0-8058-4727-8)) for quantative research and Corbin and Strauss for qualitative, with a variety of articles to read that supplements with new advancements and exemplifies different techniques
"Research Methods for Organizational Studies" - Schwab
"Foundations of Behavioral Research" - Kerlinger
"Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs"-Shadish, Cook & Campbell
The first book will probably serve your needs, but I would definitely recommend the second two if you are training Ph.D. students.
Shadish cook and Campbell. Experimental and quasi-experimental design. A classic for all graduate students.
I have used John Creswell's Research Design Third Edition (2009) as a good source.
Pedhazur and Schmelkin "Measurement,, Design, and analysis: an integrated approach.
This is a good theoretical text. For actual calculations I would consider Tabachnik and Fidell.
