Ideas Bazaar about to shut down

by lorenz on Oct 17, 2005 in corporate & business anthropology, applied anthropology

Just a quick note. The Ethnographic consultancy Ideas Bazaar located in London, shuts down is 'gracefully winding down' as Simon Roberts puts it. In his most recent blog post, he shares some final personal thoughts about running a business on your own, without a business plan. Roberts is off to Intel Ireland to ‘run’ a European outpost of an ethnographic research unit called People's Health Practices, he writes. His blog will soon return with a new look. >> read his whole post

Just “just a quick note"?! Oh well, maybe that’s all our endeavour was worth. We’ve become merely a footnote in the history of ‘commercial’ anthropology outside of the megacorps. Fitting really since that’s where I find myself heading…. ;-)

Also I think I’d prefer ‘gracefully winding down’ rather than ’shuts down’ since nothing can be brought to a close that quickly or with total finality.

Ho hum.

Keep up the good work Lorenz.
