The Routledge Companion to Qualitative Research in Organizat

"This volume brings together an impressive group of qualitative scholars and thoughtful perspectives on how to do high quality research. The numerous examples from published and ongoing research provide a useful resource for organizational scholars and other social scientists. I am eager to use this volume in my research and teaching."

"Mir and Jain have put together an exciting and informative text. The chapters cover a range of topics from valuable reflections on tried and tested methods by experienced qualitative researchers to innovative approaches to drive the use of qualitative methods forwards. I expect that this text will be a key resource for all levels of researchers interested in developing an informed use of qualitative research methods."

Paula Jarzabkowski, University of London, UK

"This is a breath of fresh air, reflecting the spirit of our times, in which qualitative researchers are not so much required to defend the validity of their research as to keep reflecting on what they do in order to reconsider their premises, update their methods, and refine their understandings. Mir and Jain have put together a well-thought out, multivocal collection of chapters, ranging from the philosophical underpinnings of qualitative research to methodologies, contexts of application, and personal reflections, which will be useful to all practitioners of qualitative research, new and seasoned, alike."

Haridimos Tsoukas, University of Warwick, UK and University of Cyprus, Cyprus

 "This extraordinary collection of papers on qualitative research methods is remarkable for both its quality and its breadth. Its papers appropriately encompass attention to rigor and to artistry in qualitative research. Setting the stage with the historical perspective-seminal research across fields from biology to psychiatry was qualitative in nature-the book goes on to provide sophisticated and practical insights into such topics as the use of single cases, the role of context, sources of inspiration, and navigating publication."
