Indigenous knowledges, priorities and processes in qualitative organization and management research State of the field

摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this short paper is to comment on the powerful contribution researchers have made to the emerging field of Indigenous O&M scholarship. Design/methodology/approach - The paper reviews the work in the field of Indigenous O&M. Findings - Indigenous O&M research, first, has been driven by the effects of colonization and the attempts to reclaim traditional ways of researching, organizing and managing, second; has sought asylum in established critical and alternative fields of scholarship to create research legitimacy in the mainstream, and; third, produced novel methodological processes. Originality/value - Several observations of the field will be made and some considerations are put forward to promote research within the tight - almost impenetrable - boundaries of the academy and its institutions.
