| Abstract: | Empirical studies of strategizing face contradictory pressures. Ethnographic approaches are attractive, and typically expected since we need to collect data on strategists and their practices within context. The authors argue, however, that today's large, multinational, and highly diversified organizational settings require complimentary methods providing more breadth and flexibility. This paper discusses three particularly promising approaches that fit the increasingly disparate research paradigms now being used to understand strategizing and other management issues. The paper focuses in particular on the importance of working with organizational members as research partners rather than passive informants. |
