The author breaks own definition of research - "Research is simply systematic inquiry", but there is nothing really systematic about this work. Even more disappointingly, "research" means largely intuition, introduced as a universal panaceum only to be diamissed by encouragements to cover "all" aspects. So, "just enough" means by and large ignoring quantitative methods (the book spends a few dismissive sentences to tell us what good is quantitative research, and a few ungainly pages on linking a verbal overview of quantitative research to a quote from the 's excellent but grim We). Just Enough Research has a confusing title, because it's a book about the study of organizations, users, market, and own products, using mainky qualitative research methods. Overall, better read colleague Mike Monteiro's Design is a Job (and even that with a pinch of salt). + Publisher A Book Apart specializes in accessible (read: reasonably short) topics on emerging tech.
