Why is it so important (and often time consuming) in QCA?\nHow to Calibrate your data (for csQCA and fsQCA).\n\n\n7:30-8:00\, Open discussion\, calibrating your own data\n\nWhat challenges do you expect to encounter in callibrating your own data?\n\n\n8:30-9:30\, Important research design choices\n\nGood practice to follow (a guideline)\nOpen discussion: where\, why and how do you want to use QCA in your (future) research?\nWhat are your hopes and concerns in applying QCA?

SUMMARY:Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): A set-analytic approach to studying organizational configurations
DESCRIPTION:This 3-day introduces you to the nuts and bolts of QCA. It is structured in six sessions (each ½ day) covering the history of QCA\, the logic of case selection and research designs\, small-N QCA\, large-N QCA\, configurational research in management\, and advanced topics in QCA. Throughout the course\, we will also explore opportunities for you to use QCA for your own research. After the course\, you should be familiar with the history of QCA and current advanced topics in QCA\, understand the logic of set-analytic methods\, and develop a configurational research design for your own research field. \nLecturer: Johannes Meuer (Kühne Logistics Universit)

SUMMARY:Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): An Application in 10 Steps (Online 4 Days)
DESCRIPTION:This master class is designed for participants who are familiar with the basics of QCA. Participants without any QCA experience or previous formal QCA training first complete the master-class\, “Qualitative Comparative Analysis: An introduction” (July 1-4\, online). \nThe master class is a mix of lectures and exercises—the emphasis is on lectures\, however (one of the challenges of QCA is that its iterative nature asks for much upfront “explaining” of later steps before early steps can be undertaken). By the end of this master class you will be able to carry out a full QCA application (both crisp set and fuzzy set). In class\, we will mainly use crisp set QCA examples (they are easier for teaching purposes)\, but as will become clear in the class: crisp set (csQCA) is a specific application of fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). \nIf you already have QCA-ready data\, or data that you hope can be transformed to be QCA-ready\, then please make sure to have it handy for the master class. \nThis course is being offered across 4 evenings online via Zoom. \nThe Course will run from 6.30 pm to 9.30 pm on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC +10) (ie Canberra\, Sydney Melbourne\, Brisbane time) \nCourse syllabus: \n\n\n\nDay 1 \n\n6:30-7:00\, Introductory session:\n\nWho is who? Why have you chosen this course? What do you expect to get out it?\nWhat are we going to do over the next two days? What are we not going to do?\n\n\n7:00-8:00\, The first 4 steps:\n\nStep 1: Explaining the theoretical motivations for choosing QCA for your project\nStep 2: Selection of outcomes and conditions\nStep 3: Explaining the limitations that come with the number of conditions chosen\nStep 4: Calibration of data (for csQCA and fsQCA)\nNote: these four steps are extensively covered in the master class Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): An introduction\n\n\n8:00-8:30\, Step 5: From data to raw data matrix\n\nWhat is the raw data matrix used for?\nHow to calibrate your data?\n\n\n8:30-9:30\, Reflection on necessary\, sufficient\, INUS and SUIN conditions\n\nWhat do all these terms mean?\nHow do you think necessary\, sufficient\, INUS and SUIN conditions will play out in your work?\n\n\n\nDay 2 \n\n6:30-8:00\, Step 6: Analysis of necessary conditions\n\nWhat is the aim of the analysis of necessary conditions?\nExercise: analysis of necessary conditions in fs/QCA 3.0 (Windows and Mac software)\nInterpretation of findings (consistency\, coverage\, trivial necessary conditions)\n\n\n8:00-9:30\, Step 7: Analysis of sufficient conditions – truth table\n\nWhat is a truth table?\nExercise: create a truth table in fs/QCA 3.0 (Windows and Mac software)\nDealing with conflicts\nDealing with logical remainders\n\n\n\nDay 3 \n\n6:30-8:00\, Step 8: Analysis of sufficient conditions – choice of solution term\n\nWhat is the aim of the analysis of sufficient conditions?\nComplex solution\, intermediate solution\, parsimonious solution\nExercise: analysis of sufficient conditions in fs/QCA 3.0 (Windows and Mac software)\nInterpretation of findings (consistency\, coverage\, trivial necessary conditions)\n\n\n8:00-9:30\, recap of steps 6\, 7 and 8\n\nApply steps 6\, 7 and 8 to your own data (or additional data provided by Jeroen)\n\n\n\nDay 4 \n\n6:30-7:00\, Step 9: Presentation of results\n\nExploring different ways to present findings\n\n\n7:00-8:00\, Step 10: Testing robustness and interpretation of results\n\nSome thoughts on assessing the robustness of your QCA results\n\n\n8:00-9:30\, Final open discussion about applying QCA in your own work
