In this panel symposium, we will discuss how management scholars can benefit from the ever-expanding body of qualitative evidence available in our field. Despite the growing interest in this area, there have been limited opportunities for dialogue on various issues to qualitative meta-studies and for exchanging insights across different divisions. We intend to bring together experts on qualitative knowledge syntheses, qualitative meta-studies, and qualitative research more generally. These experts will offer insights into both the most promising and contentious issues around qualitative knowledge synthesis in general, and more specifically, qualitative meta-studies. They will provide their perspective on several unresolved issues critical for advancing different types of qualitative meta-studies, including (1) onto-epistemological considerations in synthesizing qualitative evidence, (2) theory-building from qualitative meta-studies, and (3) quality criteria for evaluating qualitative meta-studies.
