  • Ethnography is an inquiry process carried out by a person from a point of view based on experience and knowledge of prior research.

    "The purpose of this chapter is to 1) discuss the nature of qualitative inquiry, 2) explore different kinds of qualitative inquiry, 3) explain the role of interpretation, 4) present various participant observation stances, 5) offer ways of gaining access and achieving reciprocity, 6) review stages of qualitative research, 7) suggest practical procedures related to research methods as well as research writing, 8) present sociocultural problems, and 9) give future alternatives for qualitative research. Specifically, stages of qualitative research to be described are data collection, content analysis, and comparative analysis. Practical suggestions for analysis will include such examples as computer programming, icon and color coding of concepts, focus groups and key informants, and spread sheets for comparative and cross-site analysis"

  • Do they share a common goal? A common set of measures that determine success? Are collective achievements possible -- or is this really an assortment of individuals working independently with separate measurement and goals?
  • Even when individuals do much of the team's work independently, team members can still share in the responsibilities associated with building a great place to work. Think about using the Gallup Q12 items as a common focus for better partnership and teaming.
