Abstract

"Kausales (kognitives) Mapping ist in den späten 1970er Jahren als innovative Methodik entstanden, um die organisationsbezogenen Überzeugungen von politischen Entscheidungsträger/innen zu erheben und zu analysieren.

"Kausales (kognitives) Mapping ist in den späten 1970er Jahren als innovative Methodik entstanden, um die organisationsbezogenen Überzeugungen von politischen Entscheidungsträger/innen zu erheben und zu analysieren. Seit dieser Zeit hat insbesondere das komparativ-kausale Mapping (KKM) in Management-, Organisations- und IT-Studien in Großbritannien und den USA breiten Einsatz gefunden. In diesem Beitrag gibt der Autor einen Überblick über die konzeptuellen Grundlagen und wesentlichen Varianten des KKM, um diesen Ansatz qualitativ Forschenden vorzustellen, die an neuen Verfahren und Werkzeugen interessiert sind. Zusätzlich informiert er über eine neue, nicht-kommerzielle Windows-Software, CMAP3, die für kleinere und mittlere Fallzahlen entwickelt wurde. Am Ende veranschauliche ich die Vielseitigkeit und Potenz des CCM an sechs Typen von Untersuchungen, mit denen jeweils unterschiedliche Zielsetzungen und Forschungsfragen verbunden sind und in denen unterschiedliche Modifikationen des CCM verwendet werden."

"Causal (aka cognitive) mapping emerged in the late 1970s as an innovative method for capturing and analyzing political decision-makers' and organizational phenomenological and causal belief patterns. Since then, in particular comparative causal mapping (CCM) has become widely used especially in management and organization (MOC) and IT-studies in the UK and USA. This paper provides an overview of the conceptual underpinnings and main variants of CCM to introduce the approach to qualitative researchers interested in new methods and research tools. Next, the paper presents new non-commercial Windows software, CMAP3, designed for small and medium size-N CCM-studies. Finally, to describe CCM-methods' versatility and potential, the paper discusses six types of CCM-studies, which represent different conceptions of target phenomena and research objectives and apply different modifications of the basic CCM-platform."
