Dear colleagues,

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for Research on Organizational Configurations

Conveners & Facilitators:

• Ruth Aguilera (Northeastern University)
• Joanna T. Campbell (University of Cincinnati)
• Donal Crilly (London Business School)
• Peer C. Fiss (University of Southern California)
• Santi Furnari (City University London)

During the past decade, interest in Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and configurational thinking in management research has grown significantly. Part of this interest is the improvement of QCA application, interpretation, and legitimation. By now, QCA has become an established instrument in the toolbox of analytical techniques. We have accompanied this process during the past decade with multiple editions of highly successful AOM PDWs. Given the developments over the past years, we have designed this year's PDW to serve the needs of three different audiences: new users with no experience in applying QCA, advanced users with initial experience, and expert users interested in learning about the latest advancements in QCA. To accommodate this range of interests, this PDW includes a highly interactive workshop format in which we offer participants the choice between parallel presentations that take place in three separate areas in the same room. Participation in this PDW is open to all conference attendees and requires no registration.

Participants who wish to receive a list of recommended pre-readings may contact Johannes Meuer (jmeuer@ethz.ch) before the meeting.

We hope to meet many of you in Chicago!
