This book collection of 13 papers presents the audience exciting
research during the past decade in attrition research, but
certainly highlights the complexity in this area in terms of
theoretical foundation, methodologies, sampling and analysis. To be
more specific, there are valuable results from the series of
research worthwhile to point out and further pursue along the
path.
