Description

This workshop will use Flyvbjerg's forthcoming book, How Big Things Get Done (PenguinRandom House, with Dan Gardner) to discuss the work involved in writing a book like this, which combines qualitative and quantitative research, case studies and large samples, with a view to getting the best out of each research methodology and, not least, have them complement each other.
