Data Quality and the Development of Organizational Social Science: An Editorial Essay.

Freeman, John

Administrative Science Quarterly, v31 n2 p298-303 Jun 1986

This editorial recommends that social science researchers of organizations develop a database from a sample of organizations in the United States. Quality of data has been lacking because of small samples and uncomparable studies. Generalizations about how organizations function can be made if a large database is developed. (CJH)
