Aldrich -- Technology, structure, and heterogeneity among American antiwar organizations / Fabio Rojas -- Organizations, populations, and fields : investigating organizational heterogeneity through a multilevel case study design / Carol A. Caronna, Seth S. Pollack, W. Richard Scott -- Comparative organizational analysis : an introduction / Brayden G. King, Teppo Felin, David A.

This volume is motivated by key questions and challenges associated with reviving and developing a comparative perspective. One organizing theme of the volume is to present comparative analysisas a means to explain and describe organizational heterogeneity, at varying levels and contexts. While much empirical work looks for the sources of homogeneity within fields, industries, etc., we believe that one advantage of doing comparative analysis is to make assessments of the observed differences between organizations. Thus, we have asked all of the authors to consider how their style of comparative analysis enhances our understanding of organizational heterogeneity. The volume consists of two sections: an introductory essay section and a section where authors focus on specific theoretical, methodological and empirical topics. A couple of papers are original empirical analyses that use a comparative logic or method. We expect that each paper, in addition to providing a theoreticalcontribution, will offer a meta-discussion that explains how taking a comparative approach enhances our understanding of the phenomenon of interest.
