| Abstract: | Ethnography is inadequately understood and recognized within administration science for studying organizational culture. The knowledge of organizations provided by ethnographic analyses is interpretive, denying the subject-object dichotomy inherent in mainstream applications of social analysis. Organizational ethnography is different from ethnographic studies of whole societies. Formal organizations are both partial and specialized in comparison to general societal organization. The conceptual and practical approach the organizational ethnographer brings to the administration science is outlined here. |
