Analiza narracji w mikro- i małych organizacjach – ujęcie teoretyczne

Abstract

The paper is an attempt to present narrative analysis as an effective method in research on micro and small organizations from theoretical perspective. Beginning with a brief historical outline of narrative research and in accordance with the assumptions of interpretative mainstream, it presents most common contemporary approaches of analysis in social sciences: interviews, ethnographic research, and conversations / dialogue. It focuses on the role of the language and points out to the necessity of analysis, based on its three logical disciplines: syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. The whole paper ends with an indication of the directions of future research, with particular emphasis on the philosophy of mixed methods research.
