Keynote speaker explores how Qualitative Comparative Analysis may provide unique perspectives in research

February 19, 2020 —

Following the Asper School of Business’ annual Hickson Research Day poster competition, University of Manitoba faculty members and graduate students are invited to a keynote workshop will be given by Dr. Peer Fiss, Professor and Chair of the Department of Management and Organization, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California.

Dr. Peer Fiss

Fiss’ workshop will provide a brief introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and its use especially in management research. It will enable participants to explore new research opportunities on both the macro- and micro-side of management research. Participants will learn by exploring and discussing ideas for how QCA may provide a novel and unique perspective to their own research, allowing them to ask novel questions and study different phenomena (or the same phenomena seen in a different light).

Prior knowledge of QCA is not required. Event details are below.

What if scholars could capture how a country collectively feels and thinks about a subject, even in an age of information overload? Wenxi Pu (Associate Dean, Assistant Professor, The Associates Fellow in Innovation) has spent about eight years working to do just that in a piece now published in the FT50-ranked Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
