Configuration Research in Strategic Management: Key Issues and Suggestions
讨论了战略管理研究者开发与检验组态理论时必须考虑的理论与方法论问题，包括领域数量、因果关系、时间稳定性等，关注这些问题有助于获得更准确的研究发现。
This paper discusses major theoretical and methodological issues that strategic management researchers must consider when developing and testing configuration theories. The theoretical issues include: (1) number of domains, (2) causality, and (3) temporal stability. The methodological issues are: (I) specification of key constructs, (2) effects of data aggregation, (3) the choice of unit of analysis, and (4) the appropriateness of research methodologies. Greater attention to these issues should result in more accurate findings and more meaningful interpretations.
