A good book for a beginner course in RM. Definitely good enough to start a research. However, the researcher may have to refer additional texts in order to get deeper insights into the subject.

For people who are interested in conducting original findings or investigating a problem further I think this publication by Kothari seemed suitable. It provided the fundamental methods related to investigation and in-depth study of academic problems. They include common ways in social sciences, businesses and other areas. I think it makes an essential material if you are hoping to sharpen your research ability. Overall, this was a worthwhile publication.
