Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper the work of the social and moral philosopher Agnes Heller is used to articulate and justify qualitative approaches to business research that reject positivist or post-positivist research methods.A description of Heller's arguments about the nature of social research are first described. The implications for research that can be drawn from her work and its resonance with some 'qualitative' research literature are then identified. Finally, in addition to providing, in the form of quidelines, a summary of the implications of Heller's approach for business research, the centrality of ethics to the conduct of qualitative research is discussed.
