I would like to draw your attention to the AoM PDW on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to QCA and the eventual goal is to offer this workshop on a permanent basis, for faculty and particularly for PhD students hoping to acquire the skills necessary for QCA and fs/QCA (the fuzzy set version of QCA). No registration is required, but those who register will have access to handouts and readings prior to the workshop. Details as below. Our apologies for cross-posting.

Given the success of this PDW over the past two AOM conferences, which drew approximately 70 particpants in Philadelphia and Anaheim respectively, we are proposing to again offer this workshop on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and fuzzy-set (fsQCA) set-theoretic methodologies. The workshop brings together a variety of scholars ranging from those who want to learn what QCA is about to those who have extensive experience working with set-theoretic methods such as QCA as well drawing on the conceptual logic behind QCA for their theory development. In response to previous years' participants feedback as well as the increased level of usage and expertise that exists among management scholars of QCA, the format of this year's PDW is designed to accommodate these two groups of participants. The first track will include an introductory session providing a general overview of the set theoretic methodologies and their conceptual logic and break-out sessions centered upon giving attendants hands-on experience in how to get started with running the software and interpreting results. The second track will focus on the needs of advanced users and offer the oppportunity to discuss ongoing research projects using QCA. The goal of the PDW is to expand and deepen the ties of a community of researchers doing qualitative comparative analysis across a variety of topics in organizations and strategy research. Although we do not require it, we strongly recommend pre-registration for this workshop. Those who register will be emailed preparatory reading beforehand. Furthermore, in their registration email participants should indicate a) which track they would like to attend (beginner or advanced) and b) suggest further topics that they would like to discuss.
