Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) in entrepreneurship and innovation research – the rise of a method (2017, background): “A low degree of coverage indicates several paths (combinations of conditions) to the same outcome (Ragin 2008b, 2009; Schneider and Wagemann 2012; Denk and Lehtinen 2014).”
From Typology to Taxonomy: A Configurational Analysis of National Business Systems and their Explanatory Power (2014, background): “As cases with membership scores of exactly 0.5 are difficult to analyze (Ragin, 2009), I deducted 0.05 from the identified crossover points of variables on interval scales (cf. Fiss, 2011).”
The role of inspiring role models in enhancing entrepreneurial intention (2019, methodology): “A first step in fsQCA is to calibrate the causal conditions (inspiring role models, ESE and attitude) and the outcome (entrepreneurial intentions), i.e., transforming the original Likert scores into fuzzy-set scores (Ragin, 2009).”
Standards of Good Practice in Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and Fuzzy-Sets (2010, methodology): “In the process of set calibration (Ragin 2008b:ch. 4 and 5; Wagemann and Schneider 2009), it is particularly crucial to specify qualitative anchors (the set membership scores of 0 and 1 in csQCA and the scores 0, 0.5, and 1 in fsQCA).”
The Triple Bottom Line on Sustainable Product Innovation Performance in SMEs: A Mixed Methods Approach (2019, background): “75 [76,77], and the solutions’ coverage levels are within the suggested limits of 0.”
Effectuation or causation: An fsQCA analysis of entrepreneurial passion, risk perception, and self-efficacy (2018, methodology): “conditions and outcomes based on substantive, theoretical knowledge (Ragin, 2008).”
