Comparative Causal Mapping: The CMAP3 Method, by Mauri Laukkanen
and Mingde Wang, is an introduction to the conceptual backgrounds
of causal (cognitive) mapping and to the typical methods in
comparative and composite causal mapping, based on either interview
or questionnaire primary data or on secondary documentary data. The
discussed CCM research is supported by CMAP3, a freely downloadable
(www.uef.fi/cmap3) Windows software platform for CCM studies. The
book has three parts. The first discusses the theoretical
underpinnings and methodological issues in causal mapping including
the target phenomena and different interpretations of causal
maps/mapping, the motives for using CCM methods and the criteria of
method selection. The second part focuses on the technical aspects
of using CMAP3 in typical CCM research. The third part presents
three CCM study cases: a classical document-based study; a
semi-structured interview-based (SIM) study; and a methodological
study comparing SIM with an electronically administered structured
hybrid CCM approach. In addition to demonstrating CCM practices,
they suggest that different methods produce divergent results and
are thus not substitutable. The research task should determine
which CCM approach is appropriate. The book will appeal to both
academic and professional audiences, in particular to doctoral
students and experienced researchers looking for new topics and
method approaches, but also to practitioners in fields such as
management and organization studies, organizational development,
public policy and education, and knowledge management.
