Anthropological Theory for Ethnography in Business
Anthropological theory deepens and extends the impact of ethnography, adding significant value to the companies, organizations and communities we work with.Because professionals who use and execute ethnography in business come to the job from varying backgrounds, many ethnographers are seeking to extend their training in theory and research.And when we do engage more deeply with theory, many of us find that the epistemologies that drive research …

The "Consumption Junction" of ICT in Emerging Markets
In rural China and India, a fragmented commercial distribution system and the lack of online shopping can significantly limit the range of consumer choice. In this paper, we look at the role that mobile phone shopkeepers-the middlemen-play in influencing what users can and will buy, but also in training them in using and understanding technology
Meaningful Mobility
In this paper we explore development, gender and technology through a focus on mobile phones and examples of their everyday use by rural women in India. We introduce ways in which technologies might be thought about in terms of 'meaningful mobilities' by discussing attachments, structures of labour, agency and specifically how mobiles are an active agent in complex and evolving gendered relationships
Mobile and smartphone use in urban and rural India
Between 32 and 74 million smartphones are forecast in the Indian market by 2015.This article looks more closely into this phenomenon by comparing two studies conducted at urban and rural sites in India. Study A was based upon a corporate ethnography of ‘middle class’ urban user segments in Mumbai and Belgaum. Thirty-three in-depth interviews were conducted with ‘Mobile Only’ and ‘Mobile Heavy’ users. A number of respondents reported that a mobile…
Consumerization and Renewing Peoples and Practices Research
This paper documents the beginnings of Intel's recently launched Consumerization project, and uses these early experiences as a way into exploring new paths to business relevance and impact. These paths weave in and out of the increasingly institutionalized position of corporate ethnography as research that takes place before products are designed. These paths are one response to wider transformations in the business environment, and are not a ge…
The Moral Minority
Beeliners, Pinkies, and Kitties
This paper describes and analyzes the results of anthropological fieldwork carried out to determine the degree and patterns of residential mobility of commercial fishermen based in a small, southeastern US community undergoing rapid transformations. While the study was conducted to directly aid in understanding the issue of mobility for the Census Bureau, the findings are also applicable to the job of improving federal fishery management by makin…

First injection and current risk factors for HIV among new and long-term injection drug users
The purpose of this paper is to estimate HIV seroprevalence and to examine the injection and sexual risk behaviours of a cohort of active new heroin injectors who have initiated injection within the past four years and to compare their risk behaviours with those of long-term heroin injectors who initiated injection prior to January 1, 1985. A stratified network-based sample was used to recruit injection drug users (IDUs) from the streets of Miami…

On Becoming a Billfisherman
Sportfishing for large ocean pelagic billfish species, such as marlin and sailfish, is the most glamorous, and expensive, of the many types of recreational fishing in the U.S. Tournaments are events which simultaneously organize and reify the subculture of billfishing. A survey of participants of eight such tournaments revealed a progression of recreational activities leading into the sport of billfishing. Three conceptual models are examined to …
