The International Journal of Business Anthropology is a double blind peer reviewed journal focusing upon business and economic anthropology sponsored by the College of Sociology and Anthropology, Sun Yat-Sen University, China, the Faculty of Social Science, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and published by the North American Business Press (NABP) biannually. Given the rapid growth of business anthropology a journal dedicated to the field is much needed.
Business and economic anthropology uses qualitative and ethnographic methods as an alternative to more formal methodologies, Specific tools include participant observation, informal and structured interviews, and other “naturalistic”, informal, and face to face methods of investigation. Business anthropologists play a key role in developing culturally sensitive policies and strategies in a world that increasingly typified by cross-cultural contact.
The journal seeks articles by anthropologically oriented scholars and practitioners in business and economic world. Regionally focused contributions are welcome, especially when their findings can be generalized. We encourage the dialogues between the findings or theories generated from the field of business anthropology and the theories of general anthropology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, general business anthropology theories and methods, management, marketing, consumer behavior, product design and development, knowledge management and competitive intelligence, human resources management, international business, etc.
Objectives:
- Generate an exchange of ideas between scholars, practitioners and industry specialists in the field of applied and business anthropology
- Encourage bridge building between the practitioner and the academic world
- Provide a vehicle of communication for anthropologists working within the practitioner world
- Provide a forum for work concerned with qualitative business analysis inspired by anthropological theory and methods

Subject: [anthrodesign] Getting data out of Posterous...
To: [log in to unmask]

Good morning,
We're working on a small pro bono project and using Posterous as a cheap and cheerful way to capture data from a diary exercise. It's working brilliantly so far as a capture tool.
We're going to start pulling the content out of Posterous for analysis on Tuesday and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how best to do this? We know it's not designed with an elegant "export now" button (if only) so we're wondering if anyone has any suggestions or tricks used.
And I'd love to hear how others are using Posterous for research and design purposes. We're happy to assemble and share a digest of any and all stories/interesting practices shared on and off list.
Many thanks!
Karen
