Who is Observing Whom? Fieldwork Roles and Ambiguities in Organisational Case Study Research

Chapter 3 in Fieldwork in Transforming Societies, 2004, pp 39-56 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers the interactive relationships between the researcher and other key actors in qualitative fieldwork who are part of the social process of constructing case study materials. Although I have conducted field research in a number of post-communist societies, examples from fieldwork research conducted in the Czech Republic are used to illustrate some important methodological issues that often go unexplored in the conventional methodological literature. These issues can take on an extreme form in post-communist societies, because of the particular degree and nature of change.
