A Content Analysis of the Content Analysis Literature in Organization Studies: Research Themes, Data Sources, and Methodological Refinements

Abstract: We use content analysis to examine the content analysis literature in organization studies. Given the benefits of content analysis, it is no surprise that its use in organization studies has been growing in the course of the past 25 years (Erdener & Dunn, 1990;Jauch, Osborn, & Martin 1980). First, we review the principles and the advantages associated with the method. Then, we assess how the methodology has been applied in the literature in terms of research themes, data sources, and methodological refinements… Show more

“…Following this, we applied an inductive analysis supplementing the deductive lists with additional words and phrases directly stemming from the extracted mission statements. The combination of inductively and deductively derived word lists is commonly used in the field of organizational studies (Duriau et al 2007;Moss et al 2014;Wolfe and Shepherd 2015;Zachary et al 2011a) and helps to forge links between theoretically driven research branches and more practically orientated ones (Short et al 2010;Van De Ven and Johnson 2006). Table 1 reports the full lists of all deductively and inductively derived words.…”

“…The approach ensures the closest possible fit between our research question and the type of documents used, as recommended by Duriau et al (2007). Accordingly, the following website information sources were included: Message from the CEO, About Us, Who We Are, Our Approach, Our Mission or alternatively a CVC unit's description of itself found in press releases.…”

“…Coding and data analysis were conducted manually by both field research teams to ensure inter-coder reliability (Duriau et al, 2007). The research teams and an additional researcher who was assigned the role of "resident devil's advocate" discussed and resolved any disagreements.…”

“…Manual content analysis Duriau et al (2007) performed a content analysis on the content analysis literature in organisation studies. Having listed the advantages of computer aided textual analysis over manual methods (larger data sets, reliability, speed, lower cost), they express surprise that only 24 of the 98 papers they analysed report using computers for part or all of the content analysis.…”
