“…Qualitative comparative analysis draws on Boolean algebra to determine which configurations of causal conditions are related to an observed outcome (Ragin, 2000). The method is increasingly used in the business and management literature (e.g., Bell, Filatotchev, & Aguilera, 2013;Crilly, 2011;Fiss, 2011;Judge et al, 2015;Schneider et al, 2010).…”

Varieties of Capitalism and institutional comparative advantage: A test and reinterpretation

How do national-level institutions relate to national comparative advantages? We seek to shed light on this question by exploring two different sets of hypotheses based on the Varieties of Capitalism and other branches of comparative capitalisms literature. Applying fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to data from 14 industries in 22 countries across 9 years, we find that comparative advantages in industries with radical innovation emerge in specific configurations mixing coordinated and liberal institutional features. Institutional comparative advantage in industries with radical innovation may thus be based on the ''beneficial constraints'' of opposing institutional logics rather than on the self-reinforcing institutional coherence envisioned in much of the Varieties of Capitalism literature. By contrast, we find that coordinated market economies may have comparative advantages in industries with incremental innovation, as envisioned in the Varieties of Capitalism literature. Our article contributes to our understanding of the ''so what?'' related to capitalist diversity and its implications for location decisions of multinational enterprises. We further present a coordination index going beyond Hall and Gingerich (Br J Polit Sci 39:449-482, 2009) with annual values for 22 OECD

“…Generalization is by theory, rather than by statistical assessment of a population. Thus, the researchers need substantive knowledge about each case to be able to select causal conditions, calibrate cases and analyze the findings (Crilly, 2011). Our research design fits this method well.…”

The importance of forming business relationships is critical for the prosperity of startups; still, few studies have examined how conditions inside and around the startup together leads to business mating -occurrence of a new business relationships. To clarify the importance of proper fit among management style, invention features for high mating chances, this paper tackles this need by taking a configurational approach. We use Qualitative Comparison Analysis (QCA) to analyze case studies from 16 invention-based startups seeking marketing partners. Findings indicate different solutions leading to high chances of forming business relationships. This study contributes with a typology to the business relationship and startup literature, as well as discusses future directions to the emerging sub-domain of business mating research.

“…The second step comprises the construction of the truth table to identify causal combinations of predictors with the outcome (Crilly, 2011 (Ragin, 2008). The dataset cases are sorted into rows according to the values they display on these cause variables; it is expected that some rows may have many cases, some rows may have a few cases, and other rows no cases whatsoever (Fiss, 2011).…”

“…An intermediate solution distinguishes between easy and difficult counterfactuals and integrates only simplifying assumptions of easy cases (Greckhamer, 2011). An intermediate solution results in both core and peripheral conditions (Crilly, 2011). The parsimonious solution is the simplest; it contains only core conditions and takes into consideration a number of simplifying assumptions, regardless whether they are based on easy or difficult counterfactuals (Fiss, 2011).…”

This study explores alternative configurations of causes to customer knowledge utilization using a set theoretic approach with fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. The study uses a previous empirical dataset of Salojärvi, Sainio, and Tarkiainen (2010) to assess organizational factors that enhance customer knowledge utilization. The results show that use of key account management teams and customer relationship management systems are core predictors for high degrees of customer knowledge utilization. However, these core causes are not sufficient on their own; they need to be accompanied by different degrees (i.e. high/low) and combinations of other peripheral antecedents, such as customer relationship orientation, top management involvement, and formalization. This study shows that many firms make trade-off decisions regarding the use of these core and peripheral conditions. The present study identifies alternative pathways to customer knowledge utilization, discuss their differences, and suggest managerial implications and future research directions.
