Part Two of The Chrysalis Trilogy by Eileen Rolland The Chrysalis Effect is about growth and finding one's true power. It follows Ellen's story from the first book, Friends in High Places, where she realises the help and support she has from the angelic realms. In this story we see her transformation to a state of higher spiritual awareness and a realisation that there is more to life than meets the eye. She sees herself in past life situations, feels her energy growing as she practises Tai Chi and has some interesting conversations with her co-workers and her aging father. She begins to pay attention to events that she can't easily explain and, in the past, would have dismissed as mere curiosities. It is then that her life begins to take shape.

This book offers postgraduate and early career researchers in accounting and information systems a guide to choosing, executing and reporting appropriate data analysis methods to answer their research questions. It provides readers with a basic understanding of the steps that each method involves, and of the facets of the analysis that require special attention. Rather than presenting an exhaustive overview of the methods or explaining them in detail, the book serves as a starting point for developing data analysis skills: it provides hands-on guidelines for conducting the most common analyses and reporting results, and includes pointers to more extensive resources. Comprehensive yet succinct, the book is brief and written in a language that everyone can understand - from students to those employed by organizations wanting to study the context in which they work. It also serves as a refresher for researchers who have learned data analysis techniques previously but who need a reminder for the specific study they are involved in.
