Description

Qualitative Methodology presents a classic debate on qualitative and quantitative methods in the study of organizations. This collection originally appeared in Administrative Science Quarterly but now has a new Epilogue highlighting developments since the first publication. Readers will find an orderly presentation of the historical and philosophical background, and of innovative techniques and applications. Topics include the mixing of qualitative and quantitative methods, ethnographic methods, and application of the logic of sample surveys to qualitative case studies.
