Abstract
Qualitative research has been heralded for contributing novel insights and theoretical perspectives to the management and organization literature (Eisenhardt, 1989; Pratt, 2009; Van Maanen, 1979, 1998; Whetten, 1989). The processes used by qualitative researchers to achieve these outcomes are often invisible to the reader, yet a set of principled, systematic approaches underlies the practices followed by qualitative researchers. In this chapter we illuminate a sampling technique that has been employed in recent works but has yet to be delineated as a methodology: structural sampling.
