The journal has moved away from rigid methodological frameworks, with fewer publications adhering strictly to conventional ethnographic methods, favoring more flexible and adaptive approaches instead. - Focus on Formal Institutions:
Research centered on formal institutions and bureaucracies has diminished, as scholars shift their attention to informal practices, grassroots movements, and the role of social movements in organizations. - Single-Site Ethnography:
While single-site ethnography remains valuable, there has been a decline in its prevalence, with a growing preference for multisited and comparative ethnographic studies that capture broader organizational phenomena. - Quantitative Analysis in Ethnography:
