(2011) – sought to explain how scholars, using qualitative data, can employ case study research more effectively by choosing competing methods of theorizing in exploratory and confirmatory research designs. In this retrospective examination of their work, the authors further develop their original argument and argue that context is essential to theorizing, as well as elaborate on how decontextualization impoverishes theoretical insights. This event will also feature a pair of commentaries on this award-winning research.
