Elapsed time on first buying triggers brand choices within a category: A virtual reality-based study (2016, background): “This study considers a consistency threshold of 0.90 (Ragin, 2008; Schneider & Wagemann, 2012), so at least 90% of brands present a necessary condition, allowing for ten deviant cases.”
Latent Profile Analysis (2017, background): “The goal of QCA is to capture complex causation (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012) or groups of interrelated variables which influence an outcome.”
After the Male Breadwinner Model?: Childcare Services and the Division of Labor in European Countries (2014, methodology): “This method uses setmembership in order to define whether a case can be described by a concept or not, and the uncertainty expressed in fuzzy-sets stems from conceptual rather than empirical imprecision (Schneider and Wagemann 2012).”
Problems (and solutions) in the measurement of policy diffusion mechanisms (2015, background): “We concur here with Schneider andWagemann: “Because of its greater generality, we think that one should use fsQCAwhenever possible” (Schneider and Wagemann 2012, 15).”
QCA, the Truth Table Analysis and Large-N Survey Data : The Benefits of Calibration and the Importance of Robustness Tests (2014, background): “…causal interpretation of QCA results seems problematic.5 In recent years, the literature has suggested a number of strategies to deal with such robustness concerns if going back to the cases is not a viable option (Skaaning 2011; Maggetti and LeviFaur 2013; Schneider and Wagemann 2013: 284ff).”
Varieties of Capitalism and institutional comparative advantage: A test and reinterpretation (2016, background): “This problem of simultaneous subsets is possible where set membership in causal conditions is very low (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012).”
Impact of digital transformation on the automotive industry (2020, unknown): “A condition is considered necessary if the consistency is higher than the threshold value of 0.9 (Schneider and Wagemann, 2012).”
Signalling entrepreneurs’ credibility and project quality for crowdfunding success: cases from the Kickstarter and Indiegogo environments (2021, methodology): “3.3 QCA analysis The QCA method entails several steps (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012).”
Explaining SME performance with fsQCA: The role of entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneur motivation, and opportunity perception (2021, methodology): “A condition is considered necessary when the value of the consistency is greater than 0.9 (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012).”
When do Dynamic Capabilities Lead to Competitive Advantage? The Importance of Strategic Fit (2018, unknown): “We therefore retained all conditions for subsequent sufficiency analysis (Schneider and Wagemann, 2012).”
Combining QCA and Process Tracing in Set-Theoretic Multi-Method Research (2013, methodology): “In thisarticle,wespelloutprinciplesforthecombinationofqualitativecasestudies with Qualitative ComparativeAnalysis (QCA),asarguablythe most formalized technique among all set-theoretic methods (Schneider and Wagemann 2012).”
Parsimony and Causality (2015, background): “…ci and ch in a truth-table such that one and the same configuration of conditions is combined with the presence of the outcome in ci and with its absence in ch are often very misleadingly called “contradictory” (cf. e.g. Rihoux and De Meur 2009; Schneider and Wagemann 2012, §5.1; Rubinson 2013).”
