Abstract: This paper has a methodological purpose, as it seeks to understand the influence of pre knowledge on research design in management studies. In applying the insider/outsider model initially developed by Goodenough (1956) and Pike (1967), I analyse the influences of membership in the studied group on empirics and choice of a theoretical framework and methods. The conclusion drawn is that the pre knowledge implied by the insider or outsider status can have a strong influence on how research is conducted. Yet, the model is proved to be neither deterministic nor exclusive, if the researcher upstream develops a reflexive process whereby he or she can swap from one relation to the other.
