This volume in the series has big objectives: describe the bad science practices now in use in most studies in business-to-business marketing strategy and describe a true paradigm shift to good science practices by replacing the variable-based linear-symmetric null hypothesis testing (NHST) approach in theory construction and testing-with case-based asymmetric models with somewhat precise outcome testing (SPOT). Whether the question refers to success or failure, wise executives ask, how did we get here? What's in store for the next decade? Unfortunately, the majority of scholarly articles examining the causes of success and failure offers scant useful information ... Read more

Reviews for Improving the Marriage of Modeling and Theory for Accurate Forecasts of Outcomes
Business researchers urge their colleagues to stop using null hypothesis significance tests, multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling, and start using configurational modeling. They describe complexity theory tenets and provide examples-mostly from the literature on business-to-business strategy, marketing, and purchasing-showing why and how to build asymmetric models using configurations of antecedent conditions. Their topics include embracing the paradigm shift ... Read more
