摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to outline the value of ethnography as a qualitative tool of inquiry when exploring mundane yet complex marketing phenomena such as customer-oriented learning. The paper illustrates the practical side of using ethnography and shows the kind of results an ethnographic study aimed at conceptual development might yield. Design/methodology/approach - The first ethnographic study was conducted among car salespersons and service advisors in a car retailing company. The second study was conducted among frontline contact persons in a procurement company. Findings - The paper shows that ethnography is a suitable and fruitful research approach for accessing and understanding the "mundane" and "complex". In particular, the paper emphasises the importance of: establishing trust and social bonds with informants; systematic, on-going analysis; being a complete outsider; and preparing for the aftermath of a study. With regard to customer-oriented learning, the study finds that it is a multidimensional phenomenon involving: direct and indirect learning; learning tools; learning context; and professional identity. Originality/value - In terms of methodology this paper contributes with a detailed, practical description of the different phases of an ethnographic study; from accessing the research setting to the data-analysis and the practical implications of the study, In terms of theory, the paper contributes by developing a holistic framework of customer-oriented learning.
