Shadowing is a research method often associated with an ethnographic approach, which involves following a person like a shadow—walking in his or her footsteps—through his or her various activities and different movements, taking fieldnotes or recording. Due to its mobility, flexibility, and longitudinal nature, shadowing is presented as a privileged method for studying work practices (which are increasingly distributed) and the dynamic nature of organizations (Czarniawska 2007). From my personal experience using shadowing in two fieldworks, I propose to reflect on the contributions and challenges of this research method as a means for studying organizational processes. More specifically, I focus on the reflexive dimension of shadowing to question the status of the researcher as a shadow, as well as his or her relation with the shadowee.
