• Dynamic Decision Making: A Model of Senior Leaders Managing Strategic Paradoxes (2014, background): “These distinctions helped to guide future analyses, in which I systematically coded raw data to develop theoretical constructs (Gioia et al., 2013) and ultimately to verify the distinct approaches (Eisenhardt, 1989).”
• Converging Winds: Logic Hybridization in the Colorado Wind Energy Field (2016, positive): “As themes emerged, we iteratively moved between the literature on institutional logics and our emergent data in triangulating between theory, key events, and codes (Gioia et al., 2013).”
• Digital transformation and the new logics of business process management (2020, positive): “Second, we used an open coding procedure to discover concepts and their properties and dimensions within the empirical material (Gioia et al., 2013; Strauss & Corbin, 1990).”
• AI literacy and its implications for prompt engineering strategies (2024, methodology): “In addition to the quantitative analyses, which are the main focus of the paper, the prompts used to generate the LLM output and to solve the tasks were also analyzed qualitatively using an inductive approach (Gioia, Corley, & Hamilton, 2013) to identify specific concepts.”
• Topic Modeling in Management Research: Rendering New Theory from Textual Data (2019, methodology): “Through a series of independent coding exercises and interactive conversations, the authors then aggregated these first- and second-order codes into broader management subject areas (Gioia et al., 2013).”
• Best-Practice Recommendations for Producers, Evaluators, and Users of Methodological Literature Reviews (2020, background): “An exemplar that considers how the issue being reviewed affects all aspects of the research process is Gioia et al.’s (2013) review of rigor in qualitative studies. These authors specified how a lack of methodological rigor in conducting qualitative studies could impact theory (“the risk of ‘going n”
