Indigenous Peoples and organization studies
Full text linkThis essay encourages scholars of management and organization studies (MOS) to critically reflect on
how Indigenous peoples and their knowledges have been, and continue to be, systemically discriminated
against. This discrimination is the result of colonization; it has deeply impacted and continues to affect
which knowledges and practices are valued and embraced. The impact of colonization is mirrored in
MOS via processes and actions within the academic setting and our business schools. The result is the
continued marginalization of Indigenous peoples and their knowledges. We propose a shift in how MOS
scholars approach research in relation to non-western societies to counter, and hopefully end, these
continued practices of discrimination in our business schools. Specifically, we argue that demarginalizing
Indigenous research in academia and going beyond ‘cosmetic indigenization’ in our business schools are
new, collaborative ways of rethinking indigeneity and breaking down the current barriers in MOS that
reinforce and perpetuate the systemic discrimination against Indigenous peoples, their knowledges and
practices.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Introduction:Why historical methods in management?
No full textThe historic turn instigated a substantial change in the study of management and organizations. New ideas and concepts have been introduced and this has led to new theoretical approaches for the study of the past in management and organizations. Nevertheless, the methods to study and test these new approaches have not kept pace. We argue that a missing aspect of the development of the field since the historic turn has been the interrogation of old methods and the introduction of new approaches, particularly through inclusive and cross-disciplinary perspectives. The historic turn has helped shift our ontological and epistemological positions regarding the past. As a consequence, we need to revisit our methods to explore what the past means, how it is understood, what counts as relevant data or sources, and why it is important for the study of new and different forms of organization and management
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Perspectives on oral history for historical research
No full textHistory was oral before the advent of writing. However, it was not until the mid-20th century that oral history emerged as a legitimate methodology for historical research. Since then, it has transformed from a tool to collect information and sources about the past into an interpretative discipline considering memory and sense-making. This chapter traces the history of the oral history genre; discusses definitions; reconstructs the major debates on the process and nature of interviews; and addresses its evolution through modern technologies. It also presents the advantages and challenges of using this source and method for business history research in Western and developing economies. As the main takeaway, oral history is a powerful instrument in the historian’s and social scientist’s toolkit to understand individuals’ subjectivity and contexts. It can offer insights unavailable through traditional written sources and add nuance and granularity to the historical reconstruction. Business historians and social scientists interested in longitudinal work should be aware of the intrinsic biases in this type of source. This chapter offers a practical guide involving a comprehensive approach that integrates interviews with in-depth contextualization through grounding techniques typical of the historical process, such as triangulation, source criticism, and hermeneutics

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
