Skills and learning objectives

  • Learn why and how to switch theory and data analysis from variable to case-based modeling;

  • Learn how to calibrate (convert) values in variables into membership scores;

  • Learn how to test a priori model propositions for accuracy and coverage using fsQCA;

  • Learn how to analyze (create and test) for alternative models that achieve high accuracy in predicting outcomes;

  • Learn how to create  visuals of theoretical models using Venn diagrams;

  • Learn how to use the free software for algorithm model building and testing (available at fsQCA.com);

  • Learn how to test for the predictive validity of your highly accurate models on additional sets of data—you can generalize sample findings to populations in case study research not only generalizing to theory;

  • Learn how to use complexity theory tenets as the foundational propositions in your theory;

  • Learn how to write your research manuscript for acceptance by top tier journal publications from Prof. Woodside who will be coaching participants hands-on during and off sessions.
