Epistemologias pós-positivistas!

O Journal of Small Business Management de outubro passado (volume 52, número 4) foi especialmente dedicado a "desafiar as perspectivas dominantes no empreendedorismo". E de que forma pretende faze-lo? Através de "novas epistemologias pós-positivistas". Ooops! Dito assim, é um bocadinho vago.



O melhor é mesmo ver os artigos que lá saíram. E aí chama atenção o artigo das francesas (só podia) Martine Hlady-Rispal e Estèle Jouison-Laffitte intitulado "Qualitative Research Methods and Epistemological Frameworks: A Review of Publication Trends in Entrepreneurship", que se recomenda. Não necessariamente por serem francesas.
«Though recent assessments of the entrepreneurship field scan the focus, models, purpose, techniques, and data of articles, one area receives less attention: the study of qualitative papers in entrepreneurship, more specifically epistemological frameworks and data analysis methods. This review includes all 111 qualitative papers published between 2007 and 2012 in Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, and Entrepreneurship and Regional Development. The research outlines key methodological issues, examines recent qualitative methodological practices, and identifies new trends. It aims at contributing to a debate about publishing practices, concentrating on qualitative studies, and offers recommendations for researchers seeking to publish.»
