What's Going on with Strategic Research in Big Tech
For years big tech was one of the major employers of, and training grounds for, industry ethnographers focused on solving complex, longer-term strategic problems. But the wave of layoffs that hit white-collar workers beginning in 2022 prompted many in the research community to question their historical value to companies and their offerings to them in the future. Many participants in this discourse arrived at the same conclusion: Researchers need…
The Adaptation of Everyday Work in an Age of Automation
Recent debates around the future of work have largely focused on how automated technologies are contributing to job loss or decline. However, in this paper, we draw from original ethnographic research with four types of automation-affected workers - insurance agents, pharmaceutical representatives, medical device salespeople, and medical device technicians - to argue that, rather than being replaced by machines, many workers are in fact adapting …
Hybrid Methodology: Combining Ethnography, Cognitive Science, and Machine Learning to Inform the Development of Context-Aware Personal Computing and Assistive Technology
The not-too-distant future may bring more ubiquitous personal computing technologies seamlessly integrated into people's lives, with the potential to augment reality and support human cognition. For such technology to be truly assistive to people, it must be context-aware. Human experience of context is complex, and so the early development of this technology benefits from a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to research-what the author…
Function and Change in China: Reviving Mauss'"total social fact" to gain knowledge of changing markets
This paper attempts to revive Mauss's concept of the total social fact as a method to establish understanding of new markets. Our case study of alcohol in China illuminates the spirit baijiu's connections to the total social facts of guanxi (social capital) and hierarchy. We outline the distinction between symbols that communicate meaning and total social facts that communicate function. We propose a methodology based on using total social facts …
