    Would you be willing to post the following question for the OMT readers
    from a student colleague?

    This is outside my area but the student is proposing some very
    interesting work.

    Thank you,
    Kate Blackmon

    1. Are there any researchers out there who characterise themselves as
    Existential Phenomenologists? I'm particularly interested in anyone who

    locates himself in the traditions of both Sartre and Merleau Ponty.

    2. If so, do any of these researchers conduct research in the sphere of
    management, accountancy or strategy ? Any names that could be provided
    would allow me to refer to their work.

    3. Naturally speaking, much research of this nature might tend to be
    qualitative. For example, it would seem difficult to research
    'Authenticity' or 'Freedom' quantitatively. Given sufficient
    'shoehorning' or 'theoretical contrivance' such study is not however
    impossible. I wondered if anyone else is working in the same
    quantitative niche for these ideas that I am.
