Chris, I'm not sure that it is directly in line with what you are after, but just the other day I was recommended a book called: • Good Thinking - A guide to Qualitative Research • By : Wendy Gordon I understand it has information on techniques and potential applications for Qualitative Research Methodologies. Hope it has been of some use. Regards Mark --------- Hi all, I have a somewhat simple request! Can anyone recommend papers/publications discussing the uses and applications of case study research and methodologies in design research. Also, I'd be interested to find any case studies of design practice at a departmental or a project level - particularly industrial design. Many thanks for any help in advance Chris Sherwin Researcher Eco Innovations Group Cranfield University ------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT DETAILS [log in to unmask] Research Assistant - Sensible Products Research Study http://www.senses.org.uk Centre for Design Research University of Northumbria, Squires Building, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England NE1 8ST Tel:+44(0)191 227 3182 Fax:+44(0)191 227 3148 ------------------------------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
