Making Sense of Managerial Work and Organizational Research Processes with Caroline and Terry
通过一个虚构但基于田野调查的管理者与研究者故事，展示了如何将创意写作与社会科学结合，形成一种兼具虚构与科学特征的民族志写作方式。
The story of Caroline and Terry is a tale of a manager and a participant-observer researcher. It is also a tale of organizational politics, gender relations and the relationships between human resource managers and other managers. The story is in part a fiction. But, at the same time, it is a piece of social-science writing. It is `made up' but it is also `true'. It uses imagination but is also theoretically informed and draws upon research fieldwork. The story demonstrates how ethnographic research accounts can be written in a way that bridges the genres of creative writing and social science. This `ethnographic fiction science' has eight characteristics, four of which give it a fictional dimension and four of which make it social scientific.
