Don't be mislead by the 'business students' part of the title: anyone writing a dissertation or thesis will benefit from this book.

The book is based on the following six-phase model:
Phase 1: Choosing a topic and designing the project
Phase 2: Writing a critial literature review
Phase 3: Developing concepts, conceptual frameworks and theories
Phase 4: Collecting and analysing research material
Phase 5: Interpreting research material and drawing conclusions
Phase 6: Framing arguments and writing up

Of all of the books that I've purchased to help me with my masters' thesis in computing, this is the one that I refer to most often. In my opinion this book would also make a good text for a masters' level research methods course.
