In its traditional form, ethnographic research (fieldwork) lasts from 12- 18 months. Transferred to corporate/business/industry settings, ethnography has proved to be highly valuable, but has often been perceived as time- and resource-consuming, or non-generalizable due to its focus on individuals and small group (see Jordan and Dalal 2006).
