We aim to make a contribution by deepening the understanding on how Qualitative Comparative Analysis methods can be applied for theory building in multiple-case studies when the relationship between Information Technology and organizations is investigated. In our presentation, we will outline a research design using qualitative comparative analysis, show one example of applying the method in the field of eHealth research, and discuss the pros and cons of our methodological choice.
