Reimagining Qualitative Research in Organization Studies: Theory, Perspective and Method

By Tracey M. Coule, Beth Patmore, Susanne Tietze

This new textbook re-imagines qualitative research within and beyond the field of Organization Studies. It demonstrates to readers how qualitative research methods can be used in ways that are intellectually rigorous whilst also using curiosity and imagination as key ingredients for the work.

Reimagining Qualitative Research in Organization Studies encourages readers not only to understand the relationships between organizations, knowledge and power, but also to reflect upon their own role as researchers within them. Split into three parts, the text emphasises the importance of human writing in research. Part 1 introduces a range of theoretical perspectives, discussing how they have and could shape foci and processes of research. This provides the context for Part 2 in which established methods are re-imagined, challenging readers to become more responsible, more reflexive researchers. Part 3 discusses academic literacies including writing as method and epistemology, authorship and audiences, ethical and epistemological choices in writing.

This book is essential reading for students undertaking research in organization and management studies at postgraduate level, and researchers looking to develop their knowledge of qualitative research in organization studies.
