Abstract

This study aims to analyze some of the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological implications between organizational anthropology and ethnography. Departing from the assumption that ethnographic analysis and interpretive research on organizational anthropology has an emergent and symbolic role rooted in social processes and with no a priori assumptions, with explanations and categories defined by the organizational actors, the method employed is based on analytical and descriptive issues from the theoretical and empirical literature review leading to reflective analysis. It is concluded that the ethnographic methodology is pertinent to be used in the analysis of its interactions with organizational anthropology as a new specialty in organizational studies.
