The Routledge Companion to Risk, Crisis and Emergency Management
Commercial gambling activities, as they currently exist on the market, are a product of rationalized decision-making, not only by individual consumers, who have a choice in whether or not to take part in such a risky activity, but also by operators, ocials and politicians, who have choices in whether or not and under which conditions to oer gambling opportunities. Social actors in all of these categories are involved in gambling ventures against …
Doing Research With Words
Qualitative research uses linguistic symbols and stories to produce descriptions and interpretations of actual behavior in specific settings. Quantitative research is done with numbers and statistics. Although numbers and quantities appear in qualitative research, and words are essential for quantitative studies, the two forms of research-qualitative and quantitative-are clearly distinguished by their emphases on words and symbols versus numbers …
Future‐oriented Sensemaking
Sensemaking is the process by which people construct, interpret, and recognize meaningful features of the world. Although retrospective sensemaking is a key property of the Weickian approach, sensemaking can also orient to the future. This chapter explores the social processes and practices of future‐oriented sensemaking to understand how it is accomplished, how it relates to other temporal dimensions, and how it legitimates institutions. To do s…
Qualitative Research and the Academy of Management Journal
Robert Gephart from the University of Alberta reflects on his observations as a long-serving, award-winning reviewer of qualitative research for this journal. Despite many successes, most qualitative papers do not succeed in being accepted. This situation is not surprising for a journal with a 10% acceptance rate. However, it seems that there are certain recurrent issues in qualitative submissions that, if addressed, could improve the prospects f…
Normal Risk
Normal Accidents by Charles Perrow (1984) demonstrates how complex, tightly coupled technological systems produce accidents. The theory of normal accidents argues that organizations can create technological systems that produce ecosystems disasters and impacts. Organizations cannot prevent or mitigate these disasters and impacts once the technological system is operational (Perrow, 1997). The current article discusses the important insights that …
Sensemaking and New Media at Work
This article examines sensemaking about new media at work in organizational settings. Two models of sensemaking are presented. Recent social science and management research on computer-mediated work is reviewed to identify aspects of sensemaking evident in computer-mediated communications at work. The sensemaking models are used to interpret this recent research on human computer interactions and computer-mediated communications in organizations.…
Introduction to the brave new workplace
This paper provides an overview of the nature and meaning of organizational behavior in the electronic age. I review objectives and questions addressed by the Special Issue on Brave New Workplace. Next, I review literature on new work, new workers and the new workplace which provides the context for the Special Issue and its contributions. Specifically, I review literature on features of ‘the new modernism’ in society. I relate macro level social…
Stories of Achievements
Hazardous measures
The current paper presents a computer-supported approach to the interpretive analysis of organizational texts and documents. Computer-supported interpretive textual analysis, as presented here, is a qualitative research approach which seeks to provide insights into members' meanings and interpretations. It uses four analytical processes: theoretical sampling, computer software supported text analysis, expansion analysis, and producing textual sta…
The Textual Approach
This article presents and illustrates the textual approach to qualitative research. In this approach, ethnography is used to observe organizational events and to gain access to related textual or d...
Ethnostatistics
Ethnostatistics
This volume discusses ethnostatistics - the interpretative study of the construction and use of statistics in social research - and will be of equal interest to qualitative and quantitative researchers across the social sciences
Deconstructing the defense for quantification in social science
Multiple R, the 'Parametric Strategy,' and Measurement Imprecision
This analysis examines the efficacy of using 'the parametric strategy' when doing multiple regression analyses using multiple R and related statistics. The parametric strategy involves transforming ordinal scale data into interval scale measures by assigning rank ordered equal interval scale values to ordinal categories. Studies that have examined the adequacy of the parametric strategy in regression analyses have (1) examined only bivariate, and…
