Abstract

(VF) Cet article a un objectif méthodologique et cherche à com- prendre l’influence de la pré- connaissance de l’objet sur le design de recherche en sciences de gestion. Appliquant le modèle insider / outsider initialement développé par Goodenough (1956) et Pike (1967), cette étude analyse les in- fluences de l’appartenance au groupe étudié sur l’empirie ainsi que les choix théoriques et méthodologiques. Si la pré-connaissance offerte par le statut d’insider ou d’outsider peut avoir une influence très forte sur la manière dont est conduite la recherche, ce modèle ne s’avère ni déterministe ni exclusif, à condition que le chercheur procède à une réflexion préalable lui permettant de passer d’une relation à l’autre. (VA)This methodological paper seeks to understand the influence of previous knowledge on research design in management studies. In applying the insider/outsider model initially developed by Goodenough (1956) and Pike (1967), I analyze the influence of membership in the group under study on empirical choices, theoretical frameworks and methodology. I reach the conclusion that previous knowledge implied by the insider or outsider status can have a strong influence on how research is conducted. Yet, the model is shown to be neither deterministic nor exclusive, if the researcher develops a reflexive process whereby he or she can swap from one relation to the other.
