C. Morey, Nancy et Luthans Fred, An Emic Perspective and Ethnoscience Methods for Organizational Research, Academy of Management review , 9(1), 1984, pp. 27-36
This paper is in answer to the call for new, innovative perspectives and methodologies for organizational research.Although the approach here falls within the subjective/idiographic/qualitative/insider set of methodologies rather than the objective/nomothetic/quantitative/outsider set, there is the potential to bridge the gap between the two sets.Coming largely from anthropology, the emic perspective is explained; the specific steps for ethnoscience analyses are summarized; and examples and implications are given.
