This archive contains code used to prepare the analysis data that is used to generate the results that appear in Cornwell, Schmutte, and Scur "Building a productive workforce: the role of structured management practices" as accepted for publication in Management Science in November 2020. This is one of three archives associated with this manuscript: 1. Analysis Code Archive: `CSS_ManSci_AnalysisCode.zip` (https://zenodo.org/record/4293991) 2. Analysis Data Archive: `CSS_ManSci_AnalysisData.zip` 3. Data Preparation Code Archive: `CSS_ManSci_PreparationCode.zip` (**this archive**) The code in this archive generates the data in the Analysis Data Archive. The Analysis Code Archive includes the code used to generate the manuscript and appendix results from the analysis data. Only the code archives are publicly available. Code in this archive are provided for expositional purposes to clarify the processes by which the analysis data were prepared for our manuscript. Unlike the Analysis Code Archive, this archive is not prepared to facilitate "button-press" reproduction. If you need assistance modifying the code for replication, contact `schmutte@uga.edu`.
