Whistleblowing, Communication and Consequences offers the first
in-depth analysis of the most publicized, and morally complex, case
of whistleblowing in recent European history: the Norwegian
national lottery, Norsk Tipping. With contributions from the
whistleblower himself, as well as from key voices in the field,
this book offers unique perspectives and insights into not only
this fascinating case, but into whistleblowing and wrongdoing in
organizations more broadly. An international team of scholars use
fourteen different theoretical lenses to show the complex and
multi-faceted nature of whistleblowing. The book begins with an
ethnographic account by the whistleblower story and proceeds into
an analysis of the literature and conceptual topics related to that
whistleblowing incident to present the lessons that can be learnt
from this extreme example of institutional failure. This
fascinating, complex, and multi-theoretical book will be of great
interest to scholars, students and industry leaders in the areas of
public relations, corporate communication, leadership, corporate
social responsibility, whistleblowing and organizational
resistance. The Open Access version of this book, available at

The High North in a Time of Transition collects multiple
perspectives on the lives of people in the High North of Norway at
a point when the petroleum boom is no longer the dominant cultural
feature of the region. Utilizing constructivist grounded theory,
the volume contains a rich variety of narrative accounts of
fieldwork conducted with those living above the Arctic circle in
the city of Bodo. The book will be of interest to scholars from
fields including anthropology, narrative theory, and Arctic and
Scandinavian studies.
The discovery, just forty years ago, of vast oil and gas reserves
in the Southwestern part of Norway, and more recently in the Arctic
High North region, created an economic titan and posed a vast array
of challenges for both the Norwegian government and the residents
of this area. How to extract and transport all that oil and gas
without despoiling the pristine environment? How to use this wealth
in a socially responsible and sustainable way? How to prepare the
rural High North citizens-traditionally fishermen and farmers-for a
global, high-tech economy? Adopting an original narrative approach
to qualitative research, this book tells the stories of 21
individuals either living or having a genuine interest in the High
North, from mayors and entrepreneurs to farmers and fishermen.
Through these first-hand meetings, it constructs an ethnographic
study that reveals how petroleum and development have impacted on
the regional economy and culture. This book will be of interest to
all stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, and for students and
scholars of organization studies, cultural and communication
studies, environmental anthropology, natural resource management
and sustainable development.

This book combines 20 stories from a variety of organizations with
a selection of nine theories, both mainstream and emerging. The
stories introduce readers to individuals talking about how they
communicate today via information and communication technologies
(ICTs) in business or organizational contexts. The theories,
presented in accessible language, illuminate the implicit patterns
in these stories. This book demonstrates how and why these
technologies are used under myriad circumstances.

The pandemic has created a crisis that has no equivalent in recent
history, leading to a wide range of disruption across various
social strata, highlighting and reinforcing inequality, and leading
to profound organizational shifts. In this book, organizational
communication scholars grapple with the implications of the
pandemic for work and organizations, examining the immediate impact
on their personal lives in an ethnographic narrative, but also
theorising what the long term implications of COVID-19 will be. The
book also explores the devastating impact of the virus on
healthcare workers, on BIPOC entrepreneurs, and on people in
developing economies. A timely, innovative work, this book will
appeal to academics studying organizational communication,
organizational responses to crisis, ethnographies, and alternative
research methods.

This book contains a series of autoethnographies written by
participants of a program on qualitative methods. It offers the
stories of students-turned-professors and what they learned via
autoethnographic writing as part of the course. The chapters
provide insight into the application of a range of qualitative
research techniques and, unlike typical works on qualitative
methods, in a nonprescriptive method that reflects a personal
learning process. This book will be of interest to students and
academics engaged in qualitative research, as well as scholars of
transformative learning, teaching pedagogy and broader educational
studies.
