Environmental Modeling for Sustainable Regional Development: System Approaches and Advanced Methods

System Approaches and Advanced Methods

Understanding the advancement of sustainable development is critical to managing human activities to avoid the overexploitation of resources and pollution of the environment beyond tolerable levels. Sustainable development involves not only preservation and care of the environment, but also recognition of the complex relations between economic, social and living systems. Environmental Modeling for Sustainable Regional Development: System Approaches and Advanced Methods presents processing methods and their applications, which are practical for decision making and task management at the regional level as well as for scientific studies in sustainable development assessment. This book serves as a reference guide for post-graduate students in the field of management as well as a critical guide for managers, government officials, and information professionals.

Market Research Methodologies: Multi-Method and Qualitative Approaches

Multi-Method and Qualitative Approaches

Human inquiry has served as the impetus for a number of developments throughout history. Seeking new knowledge about the world around us helps to drive our progress and push us to discover innovative improvements. This drive lends itself to the development of qualitative research. Market Research Methodologies: Multi-Method and Qualitative Approaches brings together innovative techniques and novel designs that aid in the development of multi-method studies and investigations. Focusing on vital concepts such as data validity, triangulation, and reliability, this book is a fundamental reference source for PhD students, graduate students, and academics within the business field who wish to understand how these methods can be employed to extract data from particular environments.

This book suggests that thinking critically is something that not only resides in the
higher echelons of positivistic perspectives. Rather, it suggests that critical
approaches also involve social and practical phenomena. Research knowledge
of a complex phenomenon requires a thorough understanding of stakeholders,
which introduces different and enriched perspectives. This book views research
methods from a number of different standpoints to develop the art of critical
thought.
