Qualitative Management Research in Context: Data Collection, Interpretation and Narrative de Bruno Américo

Qualitative Management Research in Context: Data Collection, Interpretation and Narrative: Routledge Focus on Business and Management

Editat de Bruno Américo, Stewart Clegg, César Tureta
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2024
This concise book uses narrative fiction to address how researchers can conduct qualitative research using both online and first-hand data and digital and face-to-face methods. The book is structured around four phases of the research process – accessing management field research, writing the literature review, collecting and analysing data and enacting qualitative research and finally the creative process of writing qualitative research. Theory and practice are merged through a situation-based case study within each chapter, with the methods and tools employed in each context explored through narrative fiction. The protagonists of each case have specific questions, emotions and ambiguities that qualitative researchers need to face, offering a unique approach to the practice of qualitative research and how it is used in real-life situations. Founded on the idea of enacting and not just doing qualitative research, this book offers toolkits that the researcher can use to operationalize research from start to finish. It will be of interest to postgraduate students conducting research-based projects in Business and Management, PhD researchers and academics looking for a fresh approach.

Recenzii

Young (and not only young) researchers preparing to present their research results must face two serious challenges: one is the integrity of their informants – how to tell their stories without revealing too much about them and their organizations? The other is how to tell their research story in a way that will not be boring to the readers? While the challenges are as old as social sciences, the solution proposed by Américo, Clegg and Tureta is truly innovative: narrative semi-fiction – presenting reality as it is but decorated in ways that help maintain the privacy of other people and sustain the interest of the readers. Both students and researchers studying management and organization, as well as other social phenomena, will find inspiration in this book.
Barbara Czarniawska, Senior Professor of Management Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
It’s been over 40 years since John Van　Maanen　and colleagues (Administrative Science Quarterly, 1979) used an exclamation point to punctuate the qualitative research option in organizational studies. In the same vein, this lively, relatively short book also encourages imaginative research designs and finding comfortable, productive spaces in interpretive epistemology. The book is both a scholarly source that discusses a wide range of published material on qualitative research methods and something of a manifesto that advocates "radical curiosity and creativity" when conducting qualitative research. The authors wrote the book for students at very early stages of their research careers. In my view, however, the book should provide more advanced scholars plenty of philosophical insights and inspiring angles on the major challenges researchers have encountered when actually doing qualitative studies.
John M. Jermier, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Professor of Sustainable Enterprise Research, University of South Florida, Tampa, U.S.A.
This new book responds to a timely and urgent call for qualitative research to help understand the complex health, economic, social, and environmental crises unfolding. At once a practical guide for qualitative researchers and a model for original research writing, the book emphasizes the process for conducting rigorous social inquiry and the ways that qualitative researchers can leverage creative writing and narrative to make their research more accessible. It is a critical and creative contribution to qualitative research methodology and a resource I will be recommending to my students moving forward!
