Below you will find the abstracts and also some short information about the conference "Ethnographic/Observational Market Research" and the workshop "Qualitative Research in Marketing and Management". I also would like to use the opportunity to thank you for your interest and your engagement in FQS: Two years of publishing this online journal means 6 issues with more than 200 full texts from authors from different nations and disciplines. About 1,500 colleagues, coming from more than 60 nations, are already subscribed to this newsletter we use to inform you once a month; at the end of 2001, our server all in all had been accessed 2,5 Mio times (1 Mio accesses to HTML files). Also in the future we will try to do our best to support the worldwide networking of qualitative researchers, to help qualitative research to be acknowledged as an indispensable methodological part of the social sciences, and to distribute the empirical results of qualitative research efforts, which hopefully help to better understand mental, social, and cultural realities. FQS is wishing you a season of health and prosperity, and us all a season of peace!
