Configuration research in strategic management: Key issues and suggestions
讨论了战略管理研究中构建和检验组态理论时需考虑的理论与方法问题，包括领域数量、因果性、时间稳定性、关键构念界定、数据聚合效应、分析单位选择及研究方法适用性，旨在提高研究结果的准确性和解释力。
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.
