For this handbook on longitudinal research in organizational studies, the editors (both of the Turku School of Economics, U. of Turku, Finland) have sought to highlight the experiences and
insights of researchers on the design, conduct, management, and interpretation of longitudinal research, rather than simply describing different methods. The volume’s 15 contributions are
organized into sections covering quantitative, qualitative, and process methods, as well as a final section addressing overarching issues of conducting longitudinal research such as dealing
with unpredictability and change, planning data collection, and organizing and executing a longitudinally based research program. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
