In line with the tradition introduced by distinguished past editors Professor David Ketchen and Professor Don Bergh, the goal of this volume of Research Methodology in Strategy and Management is to advance best practices regarding the design and implementation of the qualitative or quantitative methodologies in strategy and management research. Papers that solve problems and offer best practices by including actionable suggestions with a practice-focus are particularly encouraged; we welcome papers with micro and macro levels of analysis, confirmatory and exploratory research designs, quantitative and qualitative data, and positivistic, interpretive, and post-modern orientations. Sample topics include, but are not limited to:
- Problems in conceptualizing constructs in key research areas, including construct definition, dimensionality, validity, and reliability
- Harnessing rich qualitative data for grounded theory building
- Multilevel modeling advancements and challenges
- Process and practice research
- New and emerging data sources (e.g., big data, MTurk surveys, wearable devices, brain scans, videoethnography, sounds)
- Assessing whether effect sizes 'matter'
- Methodological advances and innovations from other fields
- Mixed method issues and approaches
- Discussion and establishment of quality criteria
- Emerging issues in content analysis
- Dealing with endogeneity
- Ethical dilemmas in data collection and analysis
- Contingency modelling
- Field research conundrums
- Comparisons of various qualitative traditions or nuances within particular traditions
- Impediments and solutions to understanding theoretical mechanisms
