Quality in Qualitative Research

Saturday, October 24, 2020
Time 14:00 - 17:00 UTC
Sponsored by: Strategy Process Interest Group and Strategy Practice Interest Group

This workshop builds on the forthcoming Special Forum of the journal Strategic Organization on "Quality in Qualitative Research". Its objective is to draw attention to the importance of qualitative rigor for Strategy-as-Practice research and to provide its participants with guideposts as to what good qualitative research looks like. For this, it considers the entire research process ranging from the data collection to the analysis and presentation. Further, it discusses several of the methods that qualitative researchers can choose from, such as video-based research.

The workshop consists of two parts. First, the Special Forum and its six papers are introduced and discussed. For this, one of the authors of each paper will be present. Paula Jarzabkowski, who is one of the responsible SO editors, serves as the facilitator. The panel is followed by more focused roundtable discussions. Each roundtable revolves around one of the six papers and deals with the burning questions that the participants have on the matter.
