Systematic combining: an abductive approach to case research
Anna Dubois,Lars-Erik Gadde +1 more
TL;DR: An approach based on ‘systematic combining’ grounded in an ‘abductive’ logic is suggested for single case research aiming at theory development in industrial network research.
The Construction Industry as a Loosely Coupled System - Implications for productivity and innovativity
Anna Dubois,Lars-Erik Gadde +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the operations and behaviour of firms as a means of dealing with complexity in the construction industry and conclude that the pattern of couplings seems to favour short-term productivity while hampering innovation and learning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the operations and behaviour of firms as a means of dealing with complexity in the construction industry and conclude that the pattern of couplings seems to favour short-term productivity while hampering innovation and learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
“Systematic combining”—A decade later
Anna Dubois,Lars-Erik Gadde +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors further articulate and emphasize key features of systematic combining as a non-linear, non-positivist approach, in contrast to the mainstream perspectives on case research as represented, for example.

Case research in purchasing and supply management: Opportunities and challenges
Anna Dubois,Luis Araujo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the current state of application of qualitative methods, namely case studies in purchasing and supply management, and identify two blind spots: (1) the relative neglect of the links between theory and method and (2) the use of inappropriate statistical criteria to justify multiple case research designs.
