Critical Acclaim
‘This book is essential reading for any researcher using qualitative methods in finance. Filled with insights from leading researchers, the book is broken down into three major sections. The first covers best practice in qualitative research techniques, followed by a detailed guide to publishing your work. The final section is a series of 10 chapters, each written by experts in their fields and each representing an exemplar case study in qualitative research. I highly recommend this outstanding book to all finance researchers and I look forward to seeing the positive impacts its lessons will have on future research.’

‘If research in finance is limited to quantitative methods it can only ever offer partial solutions. Qualitative methods allow researchers to dive below the surface and shed light on the hidden dimensions of human behaviour and decision-making. This book details the invaluable role of qualitative methods in finance research and illustrates its ability to marry numbers and narrative to give a complete picture of the complex financial landscape.’
– Kathy Walsh, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
‘How to Conduct Qualitative Research in Finance puts a marker down. It is a guidebook of the possibilities of extending the idea of focusing on people. . . this book provides a great starting point to pursue this agenda.’
– From the Foreword by John R. Graham and Campbell R. Harvey
