Qualitative Methods in Organizational Research: A Practical Guide - Catherine Cassell

The introduction considers the role and distinctive features of qualitative methods in organizations and discusses key debates about their use. The remainder of the book outlines a number of different approaches.

A feature of the volume is its diversity. Alongside well-known methods such as interviewing, participant observation and case studies, newer approaches like stakeholder analysis and tracer studies are included. The contexts described range from individual decision-making and personality assessment to working practices and employee relations, within organizations ranging from health care to multinational corporations.
