Business Anthropology
Business anthropology is a fast-evolving field. Social sciences such as sociology, psychology, and anthropology each have a unique set of constructs and theories for studying human behavior and each brings special insights to understanding business.

With methods based in techniques for first-hand observation and interviewing of p…

A Companion to Organizational Anthropology
The Importance of Business Anthropology
When I entered the field of business anthropology in the 1980s, it was an exciting and new development in anthropology, although anthropologists had been in business since the 1930s.

However, moving away from the idea of women as outsiders and/or victims, we find evidence of their involvement in projects initiated and driven by them and/or in activities in which they work in equal roles alongside men. Many women in conflict areas are advocating and working effectively with a…

Building a Bridge between Academics and Practice
An Anthropological Approach to the Study of Organizational Change

As a practicing anthropologist who works in business organizations along with specialists from other disciplines, I find that there is a particular set of skills and way of knowing that I contribute to understanding human behavior in these complex settings. In this article I plan to concentrate on three of the contributions anthropologists make: our qualitative …
