The complexities and multiple levels of analysis involved in
studying organizational phenomena require clarity in
conceptualization and appropriate measurement methods to capture
these dynamics. The facet approach can integrate diverse
perspectives and address challenges posed by interdisciplinary
organizational research. Facet Theory, a methodology conceived by
Professor Louis E. Guttman, is a comprehensive research strategy.
Based on set theory, it brings to the social sciences a discipline
similar to mathematics and the natural sciences. It offers a formal
approach to define the universe of content by uniquely addressing
construct clarity and empirical verification for management
studies. Relying on qualitative data, it helps generate
mathematically derived models that have common structures across
different research domains. Thus, Facet Theory helps render
objective and quantitative what had previously appeared to be
subjective and qualitative. It offers unique procedures for studies
characterized by multitudes of interacting variables, promotes the
systematic study of configurations, and can help advance cumulative
research on organizing in teams, enterprises, or markets. The
chapters in this volume provide recent advances and applications of
Facet Theory, demonstrating how it enhances rigor and new insights
for organizational research. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of International Studies of
Management & Organization.

While the archaeological legacies of Greece and Cyprus are often
considered to represent some of the highest values of Western
civilization—democracy, progress, aesthetic harmony, and
rationalism—this much adored and heavily touristed heritage can
quickly become the stage for clashes over identity and memory. In
Contested Antiquity, Esther Solomon curates explorations of how
those who safeguard cultural heritage are confronted with the best
ways to represent this heritage responsibly. How should visitors be
introduced to an ancient Byzantine fortification that still holds
the grim reminders of the cruel prison it was used as until the
1980s? How can foreign archaeological institutes engage with
another nation's heritage in a meaningful way? What role do locals
have in determining what is sacred, and can this sense of the
sacred extend beyond buildings to the surrounding land? Together,
the essays featured in Contested Antiquity offer fresh insights
into the ways ancient heritage is negotiated for modern times.
