理论构建型案例研究规范性评估——基于内容分析的对比研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

作为一种研究策略,案例分析有助于理解和描绘复杂的现象,其中,理论构建型案例研究由于其探索性本质能够更为准确的解释企业的管理行为。本文在归纳性分析的基础上提出评估理论构建型案例研究的规范性指标,并依据此指标对1990-1999年和2001-2010年的国际顶级期刊AMJ的文献进行评价。通过两阶段文献的编码、提炼与对比,我们发现,案例选择、明确分析单元、多位调查者的不同分工说明、证据三角形和构念的定义与测量等十个指标的规范性有了较大幅度的提高。但明确分析单元、基于团队的研究、多位调查者的不同分工说明和定性加定量数据等四个指标仍然处于较低重视水平。案例研究草案、试验性研究和案例研究数据库三个指标处于低规范化程度,需要进一步加强。

Abstract:

As a research strategy, case study can be used to better understand and describe complex phenomena, in which the theoretical construction case study can be more accurate interpretation of the enterprise managerial behavior because of its exploratory nature. This paper presents the normative indicators of theoretical construction case study based on summary analysis, and using these indicators to evaluate literatures of the top international journal AMJ between 1990 and 1999, also between 2001and 2010. By encoding the two-stage literatures, refining and contrast, we find that case selection, unit of analysis, different division description of investigators, triangle evidence, definition and measurement of construct of the ten normative indicators have improved greatly. But unit of analysis, team based researches, different roles for multiple investigators, mixed of quantitative and qualitative data of the four indicators are still at a lower level attention. Draft case study, pilot case and case study database are at a low level, and need to be strengthened.

Key words: theoretical construction, case study, normative, contrast
