Pike spent his career addressing a practical problem in linguistics, one that has a close analogy in international organizational studies. It is the problem of how someone can enter an unfamiliar culture and learn to communicate and live there. The optimal tools to carry along to an unfamiliar locale would be an explicit theory developed specifically for that locale fleshed out with locally relevant tacit experience. However, unless the local people include organizational scholars, the most that one can realistically bring to a substantively new situation is explicit theory and content developed elsewhere that includes methods for induction that can be applied when interacting with local people who intuitively understand their own culture. Pike's research and experience, particularly the theme of contrast, has implications for many of the most basic methodological and philosophy of science issues facing organizational studies.
