(2008) ‘A Content Analysis of the Content Analysis Literature in Organization Studies’, Organizational Research Methods, 10(1), pp. McDonald (2016) ‘Textual Analysis in Accounting and Finance: A Survey’, Journal of Accounting Research, 54(4), pp. (2010) ‘Construct Validation Using Computer-Aided Text Analysis (CATA)’, Organizational Research Methods, 13(2), pp. (2017) ‘On the Use of Computer-Aided Text Analysis in International Business Research’, Global Strategy Journal, 331, pp. Therefore, the workshop aims to introduce the (1) different techniques of textual analysis and their challenges, (2) validity concerns to be considered, and (3) the toolset needed to accomplish textual analysis. While research using textual analysis has increased tremendously among various disciplines and deriving textual based constructs has become literally easy, establishing validity of textual based constructs poses still a great challenge. The increasing availability of large textual databases and computing power, however, create vast opportunities for researchers to employ textual analysis to capture such hard-to-measure constructs. While survey or case studies offer the opportunity to gather in-depth insights on such hard-to-measure constructs, they typically suffer from small sample sizes and limited generalizability.

Researchers typically face the problem that particular interesting constructs such as personality traits of public decision makers (such as politicians, managers, etc.), political uncertainty or corporate culture are hard-to-measure.
