I'm currently doing a literature scan on the potential value of ethnographic research with regard to creating social change, primarily in the context of how an ethnography has led to specific policy changes or how it has improved business processes (e.g. related to safety). Who can point me in some direction? I'd like to know about both the ethnography itself as well as the source that explains how the ethnography has made an actual impact.
Thanks!
Thanks Georg Loscher, those seem like two relevant sources I need to look into!
Here's a review of ethnography in health care https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3100516/ and there are a couple focusing on business impact in Harvard Business Reviewhttps://hbr.org/2009/03/ethnographic-research-a-key-to-strategy

Ethnographic materials are actively used in the fashion industry, especially in clothing design. This is a strong trend and it is associated with the problem of erosion of national identity in many regions of the world. I attach the presentation of my report at a conference in the Ethnographic Museum of Sofia (Bulgaria)
