AB  - This paper argues for the use of more qualitative research when analysing institutional change. Institutional change is often complex, context dependant, and deals with new phenomena. It is argued that qualitative data – which is often linked to inductive approaches, completely disavowed since the Methodenstreit – has been used for many new institutional theory developments. The next argumentmade,  is  that  currently  favoured  explanations  of  institutional  change  indicate  that  a  more  intensive  and  rigorous  use  of  qualitative data  is  necessary.  Many  scholars  claim  that  understanding  institutional  change  demands  the  consideration  of  multiple  rationalities and cognition. To understand these aspects, qualitative data and thereby qualitative methods are required. Many institutional scholars who  emphasise  the  necessity  for  a  qualitative  understanding  of  institutional  change  processes  do  not  apply  their  thoughts  empirically.
