“…The adoption of the FPMA being still in a developing stage (Bouncken et al, 2021a), our research contributes to its development and application in several ways (Sinkovics, 2018;Bouncken & Barwinski, 2020). First, we followed earlier suggestions (Bouncken et al, 2021a) and provide evidence of integration of the FPMA with longitudinal studies. This approach allows researchers to anticipate future changes (Bouncken et al, 2021a) by generating an objective theoretical framework which is then compared to and corroborated with qualitative data to study the evolution of patterns and identify potential "mismatches" (Bouncken et al, 2021;de Haan and Rotmans, 2011;Konig et al, 2019).…”

“…To develop a nuanced understanding of the management of projects done in oligo-coopetition, we developed a tentative analytical framework (Sinkovics, 2018;Bouncken & Barwinski, 2020;Bouncken et al, 2021a;Bouncken et al 2021b) based on existing research dedicated to the management of dyadic coopetition (see Table 1). Following these insights, we consider that the management of oligo-coopetition strategy depends on the characteristics of the coopetitive projects (see figure 3).…”

“…This research sought to understand the organizational design and management of oligocoopetition when there is no moderating external third party. Using and further developing the flexible pattern matching approach (Sinkovics, 2018;Bouncken & Barwinski, 2020;Bouncken et al, 2021a;Bouncken et al 2021b), we built a theoretical framework based on past research on the management of dyadic coopetition and used this framework to conduct a case study analyzing projects in oligo-coopetition as well as their organizational design and management principles.…”

“…We seek to answer these questions through a qualitative study following the flexible (stepwise) pattern matching approach (Sinkovics, 2018;Bouncken & Barwinski, 2020;Bouncken, Qiu, & García, 2021a;Bouncken, Qiu, Sinkovics, & Kürsten, 2021b) to study coopetitive strategy in oligo-coopetition. We conducted a case study analyzing coopetition strategies employed by one of the world's five major oil companies operating in the oil and gas exploration and production (OGEP) market, the Total Group.…”

The flexible pattern matching approach has witnessed increasing popularity. By combining deduction with induction in logic, flexible pattern matching is well suited for exploration and theory development. The paper discusses its logic, advantages and process of this approach while offering a review of research adopting this approach. We also compare and contrast it with another popular qualitative data analysis technique, the grounded theory approach, to further ground the method on the established knowledge and elaborate its strength and fitting context. This paper advances the flexible pattern matching approach by suggesting a five-step roadmap to conduct qualitative research with the approach.

How life context affects entrepreneurs' passion and performance

This article examines the influence of the life context on entrepreneurial passion (EP) and performance. Drawing on the person–environment fit theory, we developed a model showing how the life context fit affects EP in the domains of founding, inventing, and developing and how this translates into performance. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling, we tested our hypotheses using a sample of 406 entrepreneurs from the cultural and creative industries. Due to the presence of unobserved heterogeneity in the overall sample, we conducted prediction-oriented segmentation, which revealed four segments in which life contexts exhibit not only positive but also adverse effects on EP. Our results showed that, in contrast to the extant literature, EP generates its overall effect on performance at the intersection of positively and negatively acting domains of founding, inventing, and developing. To explain the structural relations between the four segments, we conducted qualitative post hoc analyses to evaluate idiosyncratic data on passion and the life context and aligned our insights with the extant literature delineating four categories of entrepreneurs from the cultural and creative industries: artepreneurs, culturepreneurs, creative entrepreneurs, and lifestyle entrepreneurs. Our findings contribute to overcoming the dichotomy between passion as a personality trait and a dynamic construct and to understanding passion as an individual phenomenon with multiple sources that interacts with the proximal environment and that can impact entrepreneurial performance both positively and negatively. We extend the entrepreneurship and psychology literature, facilitating people's abilities to lead more entrepreneurial and passionate lives.
