A Companion to Organizational Anthropology
Re-theorizing Jim Collins's culture of discipline in Good to Great
Jim Collins's empirical study Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't (Harper Business, New York, 2001) has made a worldwide impact on management and leadership practice and research. His concept of “culture of discipline” is central to his ideas for achieving enduring, sustainable organizations, whether in the business or nonprofit sectors. In this essay the culture of discipline is re-theorized in the context of Mar…

Identifying Culture as a Threshold of Shared Knowledge
This methodological article takes Fredrik Barth’s anthropology of knowledge as a point of departure and identifies culture as knowledge shared above a specified threshold. The method samples domains of knowledge in organizational settings and asks diverse members of the organization to list the elements of the domains. After compiling the elements, the informants are re-interviewed, along with a wider sample, to prioritize the elements according …

Grid-Group Analysis, Social Capital, and Entrepreneurship Among North American Ethnic Groups
A prevailing hypothesis among social scientists is that a high degree of social capital within immigrant groups promotes the development of self-employment, particularly in the first generation of immigrants. The authors identify social capital with high group placement in grid-group analysis for which they have produced new codes suitable for use with secondary data. Using the Electronic Human Relations Area Files sample of North American Immigr…
Consensus, Clines, and Edges in Celtic Cultures
Using data from four localities in peripheral areas of the British Isles, this article explores a conception of culture that emphasizes continuous variation, or clines, rather than boundaries. These localities are sites for the performance of cultural practices, many of which may be shared across socially constructed boundaries such as those of nation, ethnic group, and class. Consensus analysis provides a tool for exploring areas of greater or l…
Triangulation and Confirmation in the Study of Welsh Concepts of Personhood
In anthropology, triangulation, or the use of multiple methods and sources of data, is usually practiced within a single study, rather than between different studies. Unusual, too, are attempts to confirm results of earlier studies, rather than reinterpret them in competing frameworks. In this article we use systematic interviewing and consensus analysis to test the results of an earlier participant observation study of five Welsh concepts of per…
Using Scenarios to Construct Models of Identity in Multiethnic Settings
The task of inferring cultural models from lengthy texts or transcripts of intensive interviews is highly dependent on the representativeness of the sample of consultants, the researcher's command of the language, and his or her ability to detect themes through iterative analysis. We recommend using scenarios and systematic interviewing to verify and refine those inferred themes, schema, or cultural models. Scenarios are brief narratives derived …
Discovery-Mode Teaching Using the Electronic Human Relations Area Files for Cross-Cultural Comparison
To promote active, discovery-mode learning, the authors have experimented with the SilverPlatter Cross-Cultural Data Base and the electronic Human Relations Area Files in a variety of courses, from introductory to advanced. These include classes in cultural anthropology, archaeology, and ecological anthropology. The Probability Sample Files of 60 cultures has been used both as the central focus of the class and as a supplementary focus. After des…
Is Mary Douglas's Grid/Group Analysis Useful for Cross-Cultural Research
During the 1970s, anthropologist Mary Douglas developed a twodimensional framework for cultural comparisons: (a) grid or constraint by rules, and (b) group or incorporation into a bounded social unit. According to Douglas and her colleagues, the four grid/ group types constitute stable social configurations that are associated with distinctive values or ideologies: individualism, fatalism, hierarchy, and egalitarianism. The theory has inspired a …

Using Consensus Analysis to Measure Cultural Diversity in Organizations and Social Movements
Consensus analysis, a technique developed in cognitive anthropology for analyzing structured interview data, produces three useful results: (1) a measure of the degree of agreement among informants about a domain of knowledge, belief, or practice; (2) the "culturally correct" information about that domain according to the pooled answers of the informants; and (3) a score for each informant representing that person's knowledge of the domain. Conse…

Stumbling into Applied Anthropology
In the course of my research on the organizational histories of small high-technology firms in peripheral regions of the United Kingdom, I came into frequent contact with various small-business support organizations, including colleges of further education, innovation centers, enterprise trusts, enterprise zones, and outreach programs from university business schools. The reaction of these agencies to my inquiries ranged from outright hostility t…
Are Norwegian Voluntary Organizations Homogeneous Moralnets? Reflections on Naroll's Selection of Norway as a Model Society
In The Moral Order, Raoul Naroll outlines five steps in the development of socionomics, a discipline for guiding human affairs. After establishing a set of core values, Naroll shows that Norway does better than other countries in achieving goals based on those values. He also details the theory and evidence for the importance of moralnets in preventing or ameliorating social problems. One inference untested by Naroll is that Norway, a model socie…

A Note on the Prevalence of Voluntary Associations in Two Norwegian Provinces
Studying Voluntary Associations as Adaptive Mechanisms
In this paper an attempt is made to review selected anthropological studies of voluntary associations, in particular, and common-interest associations, in general. The aim is to show how these groups have been studied as adaptive mechanisms in situations of social, cultural, and technological change, especially in those types of change involving rapid urban growth and large-scale migrations of rural populations to towns and cities. The review is …
Chippewa Adolescents
In recent years students of cultural change have placed increasing emphasis on different levels of acculturation within communities in contact situations.1 These differences are a result of varying rates of change in the past, and are potentially important determinants of future change. They assume greater significance as acculturation proceeds and as certain groups become the vanguard of further change. Since many American Indian tribes have exp…
