Commonly however, qualitative process researchers rely on more integrative forms of "temporal bracketing" or decomposition (Langley, 1999) to identify comparative units of analysis within a stream of longitudinal data. These temporal brackets (which generally unfold sequentially over time) are constructed as progressions of events and activities separated by identifiable discontinuities in the temporal flow. they enable researchers to examine the recurrence and accumulation of progression. The permits replicating theoretical ideas in successive time periods and also to analyzing how the changing context from previous periods impacts subsequent events in current periods. Thus for example, Jay (2013) considers three successive time periods in the life of the energy alliance he studied that were punctuated by changing definitions of success. Monin et al. (2013) examine the dynamics of sense-making and sense-giving about norms of justice in three periods involving eight different is sues associated with a major merger. Lok and de Rond (2013) examine and compare five successive incidents in which institutional rules were violated and repaired, and Wright and Zammuto (2013) compare two successive incidences of rule change in the game of cricket.
