Summary of PDW:
Although multi-industry studies are the staple of management research, scholars continue
to draw continues to draw substantial insights from single industry case studies. Such case
studies allow researchers to engage with rich data as a first step towards developing more
systematic theory, but they also enrich our understanding of existing theories by examining
how specific industry characteristics impact organizational dynamics and firm strategy.
In spite of the insights that can be obtained from studies that focus on a single
industry, it is widely acknowledged that scholars that pursue this type of research confront
unique theoretical and methodological issues. This PDW sets out to bring together
researchers that engage, or would like to engage, deeply with single industry research.
The PDW will also provide an opportunity for researchers that work on the same industries
or sectors to share industry/sector knowledge and explore collaboration.
