“…In the second stage, we employed fsQCA (Ragin, 2008) to identify configurations (i.e., combinations of causal conditions) associated with buyer-supplier conflict or constructive interaction across cases. FsQCA, which has received growing attention in management Journal of Supply Chain Management research (e.g., Vergne & Depeyre, 2016) and has recently been introduced to the SCM field (Karatzas et al, 2016), uses set-theoretic logic to investigate the configurations of conditions related to an outcome of interest. This approach bridges conventional qualitative and quantitative analyses by combining the complexity of case analysis with a degree of generalizability through formal analysis (Crilly, 2011).…”

Supplier‐induced disruptions are critical events that can either lead to dysfunctional conflict or spark more fruitful collaboration in buyer–supplier interactions. However, the focus on a single level of analysis in existing research has limited our ability to better understand the complex mechanics linking supplier‐induced disruptions and their consequences. Recognizing this need to bridge different levels of analysis, our study builds on event system theory and presents an in‐depth qualitative investigation of 60 response processes following supplier‐induced disruptions in Western–Chinese buyer–supplier relationships. Using fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), we explore how cognitive, behavioral, and structural factors across the individual and organizational levels of analysis combine in complex ways to give rise to either dysfunctional conflict or constructive interaction in the aftermath of supplier‐induced disruptions. Because little is known about the cognitive underpinnings of responses to supply chain disruptions, we investigate the specific role of managerial cognition. To do so, we employ a cognitive‐linguistic approach, which maintains that subtle differences in language reflect differences in cognition, for the textual analysis of our 101 interviews across 20 companies. The configurational fsQCA across the individual and organizational level identifies two archetypes associated with dysfunctional conflict and three archetypes associated with constructive interaction. These findings are the foundation of a middle‐range theory for responses to supplier‐induced disruptions that bridges different levels of analysis and accounts for the role of managerial cognition.

“…In order to provide an enhanced understanding of the variety inherent in entrepreneurial internationalization, scholars could develop theoretically grounded typologies about how diverse firms may pursue international opportunities in different -but effective -ways. An inductive empirical method appropriate to this type of inquiry is fuzzy set/ Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) (Fiss, 2011), which has been used to study configurations of effective corporate governance mechanisms (Misangyi & Acharya, 2014), corporate adaptation processes (Vergne & Depeyre, 2016) and barriers to imitation in a global industry (Kim, 2013).…”

Beyond categorization: New directions for theory development about entrepreneurial internationalization

Categorizations emphasizing the earliness of internationalization have long been a cornerstone of international entrepreneurship research. Here we contend that the prominence of categories has not been commensurate with theory development associated with them. We draw on categorization theory to explain why earliness-based categories are persistent, and argue that a greater focus on notions related to opportunity can open new avenues of research about the entrepreneurial internationalization of business. We propose and discuss three directions for opportunity-based research on entrepreneurial internationalization, involving context, dynamics and variety.

“…Research on adaptation has primarily adopted one of two perspectives: the role of cognition and capabilities. With respect to the former, some researchers have emphasized management cognitions in response to environmental change; the latter line of research has emphasized the role of asset reconfigurations [6] .…”

“…In recent years, however, some scholars have explored this association [6] [12][34] [35] . Kaplan (2008) demonstrated that both cognition and capabilities respectively shape organizational outcomes; the author also found that effective cognition can compensate for a lack of organizational capabilities [35] .…”

“…In contrast to these studies, Vergne and Depeyre argued that neither dynamic capabilities nor superior cognition are necessary for organizational adaptation to technological changes. Given these empirical inconsistencies, it is difficult to offer definitive conclusions about cognitions and capabilities from the extant literature [6] . To help clarify the relationship, this study evaluates employees' technologyrelevant cognitions and their respective effects on managerial cognitions and organizational capabilities.…”
