SUMMARY:Second Annual QCA Conference of the Americas (AQCA2023)
DESCRIPTION:AQCA is a broad-tent\, inclusive\, and diverse venue that is open to everyone interested in learning about and advancing the configurational-comparative agenda. We welcome contributions from all theoretical traditions and fields and encourage theoretical\, empirical\, and methodological contributions that aim to capture configurational and causally complex phenomena. We are especially interested in empirical applications of QCA from applied researchers and scholars working outside of the traditional QCA strongholds of sociology\, political science\, and management\, including but not limited to fields such as anthropology\, education\, environmental studies\, information systems\, medicine\, health policy\, policy monitoring and evaluation\, tourism\, and others. \nAQCA is a face-to-face conference with hybrid elements allowing remote audience participation. While we ask presenters to attend in person\, the keynotes\, paper presentations\, and panel discussions will be live streamed with remote attendees able to participate in the Q&A. Afternoon roundtables and workshop discussions will focus on in-person participants to facilitate engagement and community building.

SUMMARY:Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): A Set-Analytic Approach to Studying Configurations (2022 Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management)
DESCRIPTION:The PDW includes 3 Parts\, all will be organized in a Hybrid Interactive Session with opportunities for on-site participants in Seattle (Seattle Convention Center\, Tahoma 3 – The Conference Center- Level 3) as well as online participants via Zoom. Participants who wish to receive a list of recommended pre-readings and resources may contact Johannes Meuer (johannes.meuer@the-klu.org) before the meeting. Participation in this PDW is open to all conference attendees and requires no registration (except for Part 3). \nPart 1 serves management researchers and practitioners with no or only little knowledge of\, and experience with\, QCA who want to learn the basic “nuts and bolts” of QCA and configurational logic and understand if this might be the right tool for their research project. Part 2 serves more advanced management researchers and practitioners interested in current methodological issues and advances in QCA. Part 3 serves all participants who seek to discuss their ongoing QCA research with other participants and the PDW organizers. To participate in Part 3\, please submit an extended abstract of 1\,500-2\,000 words to Johannes.meuer@the-klu.org by 16 July 2022. Your abstract should summarize your study’s topical area\, theoretical background\, research gap and question\, and include details about the data\, analytical strategy (for empirical papers)\, and preliminary results. Please also indicate your target journal and add a few questions that you would like the reviewers to address. A panel of QCA experts will review all submissions and evaluate their fit with the PDW according to clarity of purpose\, methodological rigor\, and innovative character of the research. We will let you know shortly after 16 July 2022 about your opportunities to participate in Part 3. Access to the workshop is included with registration to the AOM conference. \nConveners & Facilitators: \n\nRuth Aguilera\, Northeastern University.\nJoanna T.

SUMMARY:Complexity\, Organizations\, and Grand Challenges (36th EGOS Colloquium)
DESCRIPTION:Managers and organizational scholars are increasingly being called on to deal with “grand challenges” and “wicked problems\,” including issues such as poverty\, public health\, and climate change\, to name but a few. One of the hallmarks of such grand challenges is their complexity\, for as the EGOS Colloquium 2020 theme notes\, they involve “an array of potential dilemmas\, paradoxes\, complexities\, contradictions\, and conflicts”. Such complexity is challenging and often surprising in both its nature and its consequences. Their interdependencies mean that the outcomes of attempts to solve such challenges are often unexpected and difficult to predict and may give rise to new issues elsewhere. \nLikewise\, managers who care about impactful results have realized that the path forward remains unclear. Existing data frequently offers a dizzying array of suggestions. Each suggestion may have merit and some may be more valuable than others. Yet\, many suggestions may only work in combination or “conjunction” with others. A combination of a few tactics may be more effective than either a piecemeal approach that prioritizes only one strategy or a shotgun approach that tries everything. \nClearly\, the complex challenges that societies and organizations currently face require nuanced and powerful theorizing. Yet\, many of our current approaches – both theoretically and empirically – are not able to account for this kind of complexity. Thus\, organizational scholars need to develop novel avenues of critical thinking\, innovative and creative theories\, and methodologies capable of translating creative theories into corresponding empirical models. In recent years\, researchers have aimed to account for such complexity with a theoretical shift toward understanding phenomena in a configurational manner (Fiss et al.\, 2013; Misangyi et al.\, 2016). At the same time\, corresponding methodological developments have aimed at tackling causal complexity\, most prominently the emergence of a set-analytic perspective (Ragin\, 1987\, 2000\, 2008; Fiss\, 2007\, 2011). These developments present more than a resurgence of configurational thinking or a new methodological approach – they suggest the emergence of a neo-configurational perspective\, a perspective that aims to understand social and organizational phenomena in set-theoretic terms\, allowing for an analysis of specific causal complexities. \nIn the current sub-theme\, we aim to start a conversation about how this neo-configurational perspective offers opportunities to disentangle complex social and organizational challenges. Specifically\, we would like to open up a dialogue about how a deeper engagement with complexity and the use of a neo-configurational perspective may reshape ways of theorizing organization; how we empirically engage with our data to understand the rich and complicated relationships that characterize organizational life; and how scholars may leverage causal complexity to advance research on grand challenges\, wicked problems\, and beyond. \nWe invite papers that contribute to a configurational understanding and welcome contributions from multiple theoretical fields of organizational studies. We encourage theoretical\, empirical\, and methodological contributions that strive to enhance our ability to capture causal complexity and the dynamic nature of configurations. We especially welcome papers deploying set-theoretic methods such as crisp and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and related set-analytic and configurational approaches\, but also work using case studies\, process tracing\, and other empirical approaches for advancing our scholarly understanding of causal complexity. \nOur sub-theme particularly invites contributions that focus on one or more of the following questions: \n\nTheoretical Connections: How does a neo-configurational perspective challenge existing theories on grand challenges? How can set-theoretic methods deepen existing theories or integrate different aspects of existing theories such as institutional theories\, resource dependency theories\, and others?\nMethodological Innovation: What new methodological tools do we need to disentangle causal complexity? How can we make the methodological toolkit more robust and complementary? On what assumptions are set-theoretic methods and QCA based and how can we assess/test these assumptions? What are the limits of set-theoretic methods?\nEmpirical Findings: We welcome original empirical applications of QCA in different fields of organizational studies (CSR\, corporate governance and sustainability\, strategy\, sustainable entrepreneurship\, human resources\, etc.).\nThe Role of Organizations: What role\, specifically\, do organizations play in dealing with the challenges of today\, both grand and small? How can organizations help us overcome complexity? Conversely\, what is the role of complexity in (and of) organizations?\nUncovering (Category) Intersectionality: One central feature of grand challenges is the interconnected nature of social categorizations (e.g.\, the trade-offs among social\, environmental and economic categories in the triple bottom line.) How can a neo-configurational perspective help us understand systems of reinforcing advantages and disadvantages?\nInstitutional Complexity: How might a neo-configurational perspective help us understand incompatible prescriptions from multiple institutional logics? What can it contribute to studying constellations of institutional logics?\nComplex Organizational Forms: After a century of classic organizational forms and structures\, new ways of organizing emerge\, such as organizational networks\, virtual and hybrid organizations. How can a neo-configurational perspective clarify the processes and the complex conditions that make these forms (in-)effective?\nTheorizing Hybridity: Complexity can weaken difference in type\, suggesting the existence of hybrid solutions or recombination instead of discrete categories and positions. How do we theorize such organizational hybridity and fuzzy organizational boundaries?\n\nReferences\n\nFiss\, P.C.

SUMMARY:7th International QCA Expert Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The 7th International QCA Expert Workshop provides a venue for experienced QCA researchers to discuss the latest and most important developments around QCA. The workshop focuses exclusively on methodological and conceptual advances around QCA\, not on applications of QCA in empirical research. We expect all participants to actively participate in the program. In order to allow for active participation among researchers with diverse academic backgrounds\, the number of participants is limited. If you’re working on a project which you think might fit to the workshop\, please contact Johannes Meuer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 7th International QCA Expert Workshop will take place after the Paper Development Workshop. Please note that because the Expert Workshop serves a different purpose\, targets a different audience\, and – for these reasons – is purposefully limited in the number of participants\, participation in the 7th International QCA Expert Workshop is by invitation only. If you are applying QCA in one of your research projects\, please see the International QCA Paper Development Workshop.

SUMMARY:Panel on Case-Oriented and Set-Theoretic Approaches to Comparative Policy Analysis\, 4th International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP4)
DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen an impressive proliferation of set-theoretic and case-oriented methods in comparative policy analysis in general (see e.g. Rihoux et al. 2011; Thomann 2019)\, and in policy implementation and evaluation research in particular (Gerrits and Verweij 2018; Pattyn et al. 2017). Case-oriented and set-theoretic approaches to comparative policy analysis\, including but not limited to methods such as Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)\, Coincidence Analysis (CNA\, explanatory typologies\, and comparative process tracing\, are designed to address the challenges of contemporary policy analysis. Situated within a “critical realist” paradigm of social research (Gerrits and Verweij 2013)\, they model different aspects of causal complexity\, such as the prevalence of configurations of different factors leading to policy outputs or outcomes\, equifinality (multiple policy strategies or instruments resulting in the same outcome)\, contextual contingencies\, and causal asymmetry. Moreover\, they can be applied within a variety of small-N or large-N research approaches to evaluate as well as generate theories through a combination of systematic comparison with targeted in-depth case studies (Thomann and Maggetti 2017). \nThis panel gathers theoretical\, conceptual\, and empirical contributions by both junior and senior scholars that deal with case-oriented and set-theoretic approaches and illustrate their potential and limitations to contribute to the theory and practice of policy analysis. We particularly invite contributions that either comprehensively review or systematize the state of the art\, apply methodological innovations to empirical settings\, connect methods with theories\, and/or contribute to methodological innovation themselves. Papers should engage in a critical reflection of methodological aspects and their connection with the theory and/or practice of policy analysis in general\, or implementation and evaluation in particular. Abstracts should include a clear puzzle\, research question\, outline of the approach\, research design\, and main contribution of the proposed paper. Preference is given to abstracts that demonstrate an understanding of recent methodological developments.

SUMMARY:2nd International QCA Summer Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd International QCA Summer Workshops consist of a sequence of three workshops: an Advanced applications workshop (22 May) in which users with at least intermediate-level knowledge of QCA receive more advanced feedback on their work-in-progress from QCA experts; (2) an invitation-only Expert workshop (23 May) gathering QCA experts and developers so as to make progress on some QCA innovation fronts; (3) a Paper development workshop (24 May) in which early-stage users receive expert guidance on their first QCA application. \nBesides the three workshops: two parallel\, two-day (22-23 May) modular doctoral courses will be offered: an Introduction to QCA doctoral course for participants with no prior QCA training\, and an Intermediate-level QCA doctoral course for participants with some prior level of QCA training or practice. In addition\, there will be also a specific half-day session for consultants (23 May).
