Resumo: | The observation of causal links in organizational processes has prioritized the quantitative approach based on the processing of datasets. Process-tracing is an alternative methodological design, predominantly qualitative, for analysing these causal bonds. Unfortunately, this method is barely known and has limited application in the investigation of the organizational reality in the Iberoamerican region. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relevance of this method to the analysis of organizations. It departs by addressing the epistemological and methodological foundations of this method. Then it examines its importance to the analysis of organizations’ management. Lastly, it describes its application to the study of the strategic process of a restaurant chain with a plant-based diet in Lima, Peru. The document concludes by highlighting the importance of using this method and its contribution to the methodological pluralism in the discipline. |

El process-tracing (rastreo de procesos) es un diseño metodológico alternativo, predominantemente cualitativo, para el análisis de esos vínculos causales. Desafortunadamente, se trata de un método poco conocido y con limitada aplicación a la investigación de la realidad organizacional, más aún en la región iberoamericana. El propósito de este trabajo es examinar la relevancia de este método para el análisis de las organizaciones. Para ello, primero se abordan los fundamentos epistemológicos y metodológicos que sustentan este método. Seguidamente se examina su relevancia para el análisis de la gestión organizacional. Finalmente, se describe su aplicación para el estudio del proceso estratégico de una cadena de restaurantes con orientación vegetariana en Lima, Perú. El documento concluye resaltando la importancia de usar este método y su contribución al pluralismo metodológico en la disciplina.Ludomedia2021-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.9.2021.34-45https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.9.2021.34-45New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Qualitative Research in Social Sciences: Advances and Challenges; 34-45New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Investigación cualitativa en ciencias sociales: avances y desafíos; 34-45New Trends in Qualitative Research; Vol. 9 (2021): Investigação Qualitativa em Ciências Sociais: avanços e desafios; 34-452184-777010.36367/ntqr.9.2021reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPspahttps://publi.ludomedia.org/index.php/ntqr/article/view/346https://publi.ludomedia.org/index.php/ntqr/article/view/346/349Mario Marcello Pasco Dalla PortaVania Estefany Cárdenas VuckovicÁngello Augusto Hernández Aburtoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-08-13T09:13:00Zoai:ojs.publi.ludomedia.org:article/346Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:48:09.359225Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
