title = "Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis: An Overview",
abstract = "Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is a qualitative research approach that is concerned with the detailed examination of the lived experience. Underpinned by phenomenological philosophy and hermeneutic theory, IPA is interested in elucidating a phenomenon through a focus on an embodied socio-historical situated person. This chapter offers a critical overview of interpretative phenomenological analysis as a qualitative method to counter the mainstream positivist accounting research. It discusses IPA{\textquoteright}s philosophical underpinnings, key tenets, principles, and assumptions, concluding with a discussion on the opportunities and challenges of adopting IPA in practice.",
