Reviews

'If only I had a book like this when I was starting out! Organizational Ethnography gives helpful direction for doing this important type of qualitative research in a multitude of ways. Each chapter presents an accessible account of a different ethnographic technique presented by researchers who have practiced it successfully. Insightful examples and helpful tips abound. I highly recommend this book to anyone intending to practice ethnography in organizations, new students and experienced researchers alike.' -- - Mary Jo Hatch, University of Virginia, US and author of Organization Theory: Modern, Symbolic and Postmodern Perspectives
