Abstract
We posit that qualitative inquiry is essential to management science but is insufficiently capitalized on and that, if aggregated through meta‐studies, such research could yield rich insight on emergent properties and enable the development of higher‐order knowledge and theory. We introduce a pragmatic approach along four ontological perspectives to conducting meta‐studies from qualitative inquiries. We identify principal epistemological, ethical and methodological concerns and dilemmas that occur in the understanding, review and aggregation of qualitative studies and propose concrete remedying heuristics.
