Dr P.A. Alamos Concha (Priscilla)

Priscilla Alamos‑Concha is Assistant Professor of Qualitative Empirical Methodology at Radboud University’s Nijmegen School of Management, a role she assumed in 2023. There, she integrates institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and social movement theory into a configurational framework. Employing complexity‑based methods - such as Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), Process‑Tracing (PT) and Comparative Historical Analysis (CHA) -to assess social innovations’ impact, she explores how multinationals address Grand Challenges and foster social change.

Prior to this, she was Principal Investigator for ESF‑WSE evaluations at Antwerp Management School (Belgium). In 2020, she moved to the Netherlands as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at NSM (Radboud University) on a Trans‑Atlantic Platform project (2020–2023) about social innovation processes in and around multinationals.

Priscilla earned her Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences from the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). During her doctoral studies, she was Visiting Scholar at Exeter University (UK), the European University Institute (Florence), and other international centers - broadening her methodological expertise across contexts.

Part of her work appears in Evaluation Review, Journal of International Management, International Business Review, Political Research Quarterly, Qual & Quan, International Journal of Social Research Methodology, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis, Revue internationale de politique comparée and AIB Insights. As founder member of the Methods Excellence Network (www.methodsnet.org), she promotes cutting‑edge approaches in global research.

Priscilla also composes poetry that delves into the depth of the human spirit - exploring what moves us to think, feel, act and pursue happiness.
