METHODOLOGICAL TRIANGULATION, OR HOW TO GET LOST WITHOUT BEING FOUND OUT

Abstract

In his book Images of Organisation, Morgan (1986) shows how can illuminate and challenge our everyday thinking, but also constrain it, leading sometimes to uncritical adoption of certain views and ill-advised neglect of others. He argues that the use of implies a way of thinking and a way of seeing that pervade how we understand our world generally (p. 12). In particular, he suggests that metaphor exerts a formative influence on science (p. 13).
