“…We thus find ourselves in agreement with Gobo [30], who reviews the "methods" that have been proposed under the aegis of Indigenous research: informal conversations; talking circles; community discussions about preliminary analysis; detailed plans for reporting research results; interviews; and a collective workshop. Gobo then asks rhetorically: What is indigenous in these Indigenous Methods?…”

In recent years, "indigenous research" and "indigenous methods" have become prominent themes in the general field of qualitative methodology. These ideas and their implications raise serious questions for the wider conduct of social research. We will outline some of those ideas, subjecting them to scrutiny, and ultimately using them to question the rise of Romanticism in contemporary social methodology. We develop these ideas to question the contemporary emphasis on the personal and the experiential in current methodological commentary.

“…We relied on personal contacts to gain entry to study sites; because Chinese codes of conduct place primacy on personal networks, 'familiarity' facilitates fieldwork [30], including access and participant trust [40]. In contrast, methods which rely on interviews conducted by strangers risk low response rates and social desirability bias [41,42].…”

“…The globalization of social science raises concerns about neo‐colonialist reproduction of core–periphery dynamics between global North and South with regard to methodological practice and norms of knowledge production (Alatas, ; Gobo, ). Colonizing practices of knowledge production rely on the formation and unidirectional spread of methods of knowledge creation that are rooted in a concept of science as ‘the all‐embracing method for gaining an understanding of the world’ (Smith, , p. 68).…”

This paper analyses the genre of ‘methodology‐as‐technique’, which we suggest provides the underpinning logic for a particular conception of scientific rigour that is increasingly regarded as normal in globalized management research. Based on a qualitative interview study of management researchers in the peripheral context of India, we associate the methodology‐as‐technique genre with social scientific methods of organizing, conducting and disseminating knowledge founded on Western neo‐imperialism and colonialism. Our analysis draws attention to the consequences of the genre of methodology‐as‐technique which relate to a narrowing and displacement of research goals, erasure of context, and devaluation and marginalization of alternatives. By providing insight into how methodology‐as‐technique comes to dominate in peripheral locations such as India, we suggest that these normative constraints also present an opportunity for denaturalization, by making what is increasingly seen as normal appear alien or strange. We conclude by arguing that countering restrictive definitions of rigour in management research relies on development of a more expansive and inclusive conception of the global that fosters indigenous ways of knowing and promotes decolonizing methodologies.
