Congratulations to Peer Fiss and Charles Ragin on winning the OMT Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award for their trailblazing work advancing set-analytic methods and introducing Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) within organization and management research.

The Joanne Martin Trailblazer Award recognizes scholars who have taken a leadership role in the field of OMT (Organization and Management Theory Divisionin of the Academy of Management) by opening up new lines of thinking or inquiry. A Trailblazer is a boundary-spanner and a conversation starter, someone who extends and builds the OMT community by shepherding new ideas and new scholarship, often in unconventional ways.
