Book Description
This book series’ mission is to provide a forum for critique, commentary, and discussion about key research methodology issues in the strategic management field. Strategic management relies on an array of complex methods drawn from various allied disciplines to examine how managers attempt to lead their firms toward success. With this in mind this sixth volume of the series is built around the theme of ‘Building methodological bridges’. Within this overarching theme, this volume includes two subthemes. The first is ‘Bridges between macro and micro research’ and the second is ‘Bridges to stronger designs and analysis’. With authors from an array of backgrounds, including thought leaders from not only strategic management, but also from organizational behavior, human resource management, and entrepreneurship, we are confident that the chapters offered in the current volume will build bridges for the organizational sciences toward greater methodological rigor and creativity.
Editorial Reviews
Review
The series as a whole was designed to provide a metaphorical bridge between different areas of research in management, so this volume lies close to the heart of the matter. Scholars of management mostly in the US consider bridges between macro and micro research, and bridges to stronger designs and analysis. Among the topics are whether strategic human resource staffing and organizational research are one-size-fits-all endeavors, entrepreneurial mobility, multi-study packages in organizational science research, and the current state and future prospects of qualitative comparative analysis and strategic management research. There is no index. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. –Annotation ©2011 Book News Inc. Portland, OR
