Better Stories and Better Constructs: The Case for Rigor and Comparative Logic
作者回应对其先前提出的基于案例研究构建理论方法的评论，强调该方法通过观察多种案例、基于更广泛知识得出结论，并消除偶然关联，同时讨论在期刊格式下好故事与好构念之间的权衡。
In this article the author replies to comments made over an approach to building theory using case studies as previously presented by the author. She notes that the benefits of her method are that the researcher is granted the opportunity to view a variety of cases allowing one to draw conclusions from a wider base of knowledge. This allows the researcher to view patterns on a larger scale as well as the opportunity to eliminate chance associations. The author goes on to address the concerns raised in the critique of her work suggesting that the classic case studies referred to were not single case examinations and that the trade-off between good stories and good constructs has to be made when working in the journal format instead of publishing an entire book.
