KVALITATIVE METODER belyser, hvordan mennesker oplever og beretter om verden, hvordan de agerer, og hvordan menneskelige fænomener fremtræder og udvikler sig i komplekse sammenhænge. Metoderne er på forskellig vis egnede til at beskrive, forstå, fortolke og analysere den menneskelige erfarings mange nuancer og kvaliteter. De kvalitative metoder har været i hastig vækst i human- og samfundsvidenskaberne i de seneste ca. 25 år, og forskere har på tværs af faggrænser udviklet et væld af forskellige teknikker, tilgange og perspektiver.I denne 4. udgave er samtlige kapitler reviderede og opdaterede. Bogen inkluderer nye kapitler om digital etnografi, kvalitative forløbsstudier, forandringsorienteret forskning, sensoriske metoder, Arts-Based Research og feministisk inspireret metodologi.Denne bog tilbyder et overblik over typiske, kvalitative metoder, og hvordan disse anvendes i dansk og international kontekst. Bogens 29 kapitler giver en indføring i de kvalitative metoders teori, men lægger først og fremmest vægt på konkret at beskrive den håndværksmæssige kunnen, som præger indsigtsgivende kvalitative studier. Bogen er velegnet for både studerende og erfarne kvalitative forskere.Svend Brinkmann er professor ved Aalborg Universitet.Lene Tanggaard er professor ved Aalborg Universitet.

Based on field material collected from 2020 to 2022 in Sweden, this book tells a composite story of the everyday work of public sector workers that maintained the welfare infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This collection of field studies offers novel insights into the issues of migration and integration of immigrants. The focus of the chapters is on actions, processes, and complexity of organising practices, in contrast to more policy-oriented works. The contributors address vital questions: How is the labour market integration of refugees and other immigrants being organised in practice? What ideas of integration give rise to, and are promoted by contemporary integration initiatives? And what are the effects of these integration initiatives ¿ on immigrants¿ lives, and on their labour market integration in terms of diversity, gender, and power relations? With contributions highlighting the importance of coordination and collaboration for the successful organising of integration, this book should be of interest to researchers and advanced students from the fields of management and organisation studies, public administration and management, migration and integration studies, sociology, cultural studies and science and technology studies. It should also interest professionals and policymakers working with integration who face the challenges described here in their daily work.

Management Education and Humanities argues that management teachers and researchers seem to be increasingly dissatisfied with the way managers are usually educated in western countries.

Using the results of a study from Canada, Australia and Sweden, the book's findings complement more traditional studies of the welfare sector, capturing the anxieties of citizens about the present and future of their countries' welfare models, and presenting their thoughts on how the system can be re-organised in future.

Talking readers through each step in the research process, and providing practical advice based on years of experience, this text presents the practical realities of doing fieldwork

This work looks at the opposite natures of large Western cities, particularly Warsaw. The city puts visionaries and rules on its stage, and the citizens and the toursits in its audience, but who pulls the strings This book is about the invisible stage workers, who make the city run or halt.

Narratives in Social Science Research introduces students to the use of narrative methodology as a research tool. It offers a useful and rigorous framework for the application of these devices within qualitative research.

While this book can be seen as joining the discussion on globalization and its paradoxical character, it is unique in its rich collection of cases and its frame of reference consisting of a combination of organization theory, new institutionalism and sociology of translation. The focus is not so much on organizations but on organizing, which is global both in its scope and in its imitation of global models. This book shows what is travelling and how; it moves between countries and disciplines.Advances in Organization Studies, Vol. 13Series editors: Stewart R. Clegg & Ralph E.
