Organizational ethnography takes on many forms, among them shadowing. Organizational shadowing implies following and recording actors during their everyday activities and interactions by using video/audio recording and/or taking fieldnotes. Our study focuses on fieldnotes and interactions pertaining to note-taking during fieldwork. Beyond their content, we argue that notes recorded during fieldwork render the researcher’s work visible and accessible to others. In a series of vignettes constituted from our own fieldwork, we examine how fieldnotes in various situations mediate the relationship between shadower and shadowee. The visibility of the researcher’s note-taking leads to various types of negotiation. These negotiations deal with issues such as the selection of events constituting data and the role and authority of both parties involved in shadowing.
