Abstract:
I present myself to you as the accidental business anthropologist, for in my first academic career, which ended 25 years ago, anthropological study of business was little more than a curiosity, having neither a distinctive name nor an epistemology other than ethnographic empiricism and was on the fringe of the ethical debates that were then swirling in anthropology. Far more contentious was anthropology's treatment of indigenous peoples and its collusion with government agencies at home and abroad. Business Anthropology scarcely had a name; Lloyd Warner and his associates did valuable ethnogra

Abstract:
This special-themed edition of the Journal of Business Anthropology critically examines the borders and crossovers between an anthropology of business (which I term 'non-consultant anthropology') and anthropologies for business ('consultant anthropology'). In the pages that follow authors consider the unique and valuable contributions of these varied approaches and their impacts on our understanding of business organizations and industries. In this introduction, I seek to focus on some of the issues faced by anthropologists ‘of’ and ‘for’ business who ‘study up’ when they prepare for, write ab

Abstract:
The pioneers of business anthropology—including W. Lloyd Warner, Conrad Arensberg, Eliot Chapple, Frederick Richardson, Richard Sayles, and William Foote Whyte—were students of American industry. Beginning in the early 1930s and working through the 1950s, these leaders of applied anthropology used the knowledge and skills of our discipline to solve urgent problems on the factory floor, especially problems related to labor-management relations and technological change. Since the focus of economic growth during this early period was industrial plant production in the United States, the first bus

Abstract:
Business anthropology is a multidisciplinary field that applies anthropological theories, methods, and insights to understand various aspects of business organizations, practices, and interactions within the corporate world. It emerged as a response to the increasing recognition of the importance of cultural factors in shaping business dynamics, consumer behaviour, organizational structure, and management strategies. It offers a valuable framework for understanding the complex interplay between culture and commerce in today's interconnected world required for more effective decision-making, in

Abstract:
Today more than half of new Ph.D.s in anthropology in the United States find nonacademic jobs outside of universities. An increasing number of anthropologists are working in the private business sector. Many wellestablished programs are training students for nonacademic careers in applied anthropology. A newly-minted Ph.D. in anthropology should be able to present his or her competence in a language that is comprehensible to nonanthropologist-business people and the general public. And yet, anthropology is hardly a household term, nor is it included in the lexicon of everyday business. While m

Abstract:
The premise of this article is that the expansive domain of business, as expressed in its market-transaction based, organizational, and institutional forms, has influenced the development or “making” of anthropology as a discipline and a profession for the better part of a century (i.e., since the 1920s). The influences were reciprocal, in that making anthropology played a role in forming the industrial order of the early 20th century and established precedents for the interaction of anthropology and the business domain that continues into the contemporary era.

Abstract:
Most anthropologists are travelers. We often journey away from home to distant places where we conduct our research. In our travels we pass through, or even alight in, major tourist destinations of the world. Although we are travelers with interests in the people and places we visit and ability to adapt ourselves to foreign environments and learn from local people, we do not think of ourselves as tourists. Many of us disdain the tourist and "touristy" places and avoid them, even when we are on vacation. This is perhaps understandable, but unfortunate. We are missing the opportunity to observe

This dissertation comments on the current period of intense social change in the former Soviet Union by charting processes of elite production at a business school in Riga, Latvia. It is concerned with an ethnically diverse group of students from the Baltic states who attend a Swedish institution established to accelerate the transition. I suggest that rather than producing 'catalysts of change' the business school represents a foreign-direct-investment into human capital.

Abstract:
The goal of this research is to develop a socio-cultural approach to studying situations in marketing as an alternative to the previously explored methods. In marketing research the situation has been treated as a means of predicting product choice, attitude, preference, and satisfaction. The socio-cultural approach proposed and empirically tested in this research posits that the situation can be characterized by the people who are present, the place they are in, and the products that are nearby. When these situational elements are incongruous with one another, individuals experience a cogniti
