Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA): Upcoming Events and Important Deadlines
A professional development workshop, a special issue appetizer event, a paper development workshop, and a special issue deadline.
August 1, 2024
Together with other members of the NCA Development Team, I organize workshops to help researchers use Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) and publish NCA papers. Three of those workshops and an important deadline are coming up.
1. Professional Development Workshop
The first workshop on the list is the Professional Development Workshop at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 2024, which I am organizing together with Jan Dul and Ricarda Bouncken. The workshop entitled “Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA): Core Concepts and Latest Developments” will take place on August 10 from 08:00 to 10:00 local time in the Lucerne II room of the Swissotel Chicago. We will teach you the core concepts of NCA and discuss its latest developments. The workshop will be part of the Academy of Management Annual Meeting, which is a conference for management researchers. You can only attend the workshop if you are a registered conference participant.
2. Special Issue “Appetizer” Event
Together with Patrycja Klimas, Ricarda Bouncken, and Jan Dul, I am editing a special issue for the Journal of Business Research, entitled “Must-have or nice-to-have? Using Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) to advance strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship research”. On Friday, September 6, we organize an online “appetizer” event in which we provide information about the special issue and give preliminary feedback on your article ideas.
If you are interested in joining the session, please prepare a structured abstract (450-550 words) under the following specific headings: Introduction (e.g., theoretical setting), Objective/s, Research design, Results (if you have them already), Main Contributions, Alignment with SI assumptions.
Send the abstract by August 20 to: patrycja.klimas@ue.wroc.pl
