Abstract
This literature review of 58 qualitative research papers in the field of business ethics demonstrates how eight different qualitative approaches have been successfully used to study ethical and unethical behavior in organizations. It, furthermore, gives an introduction to the different approaches, their basic assumptions, historical origins and procedures. By outlining the strengths and possible applications of each approach the aim of this review is to support future researchers planning a qualitative research project concerned with business ethics or a similarly complex management topic. As qualitative research in it very essence embraces the art of conveying and interpreting meaning, this review directly addresses this year’s overall Academy of Management Annual Meeting theme “The Power of Words”.
