On the basis of her current research on employee initiated complaints in performance appraisal interviews, Birte Asmuß will share some reflections about issues related to data analysis, data collection and about the balancing between disciplinary boundaries (linguistics/sociology and management/business) when doing research in, with and for organizations. In specific, she will reflect about the benefits and challenges of using a microanalytical approach like Conversation Analysis for the investigation of larger organizational phenomena, about the difficulties of negotiating access to collecting video data in organizations, and finally about how to make conversation analytic studies of organizational life relevant for a management or business audience.
