Causal Identification Through a Cumulative Body of Research in the Study of Strategy and Organizations
强调因果识别对战略与组织研究的重要性，指出核心问题与数据特性使识别困难，提出应通过累积实证研究来解决，并分析了当前研究规范中的障碍及改进建议。
I highlight why taking causal identification seriously is important for the study of strategy and organizations. Nevertheless, the nature of the questions that are central to our field and the nature of the data we have to answer these questions complicates doing so. Because of this, I suggest that we explicitly consider identification as an issue that can be addressed only through a cumulative body of empirical research. I outline current research norms and practices that impede adopting this approach and recommend a set of actions to help overcome these norms and practices.
