| Abstract: | This article presents and illustrates th textual approach to qualitative research. In this approach, ethnography is used to observe organizational events and to gain access to related textual or documentary data for subsequent analysis. The documents are then analyzed via an integrated combination of methods: theoretical sampling, computer-facilitated qualitative analysis, and expansion analysis. The author illustrates the approach with an ethnographic study of "sensemaking" during a public inquiry concerning a fatal pipeline accident. |
