Abstract

Hugo Letiche and Dirk Schouten report on a research project which was carried out in Slovakia. Business School students from Erasmus University in Holland and the School of Economics in Bratislava, Slovakia, investigated 'quality' in Slovakian factories. Their research tool was a video camera. The group applied concepts and methods used in visual anthropology and activity-centred learning. The text was part of a presentation at the Summit 2000 in Toronto, Canada, May 13-17, 2000.
