- Bundles of Firm Corporate Governance Practices: A Fuzzy Set Analysis (2013, methodology): “ROE is a continuous variable that has been transformed, following Fiss (2011), into a fuzzy set using the 80th, 50th and 20th percentiles for full membership, crossover point of maximum ambiguity, and full nonmembership, respectively.”
- Accommodation decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic: Complexity insights from Greece (2020, positive): “For starters, when dealing with asymmetric analysis there is usually a significant differentiation of Y scores from the causes of low Y scores (Causal Asymmetry/Recipe principle) (Fiss, 2011).”
- Home Country Institutions and the Internationalization-Performance Relationship (2016, methodology): “Although several approaches could be used for such research, fuzzy-set analysis might be especially suited for this type of study (e.g., Fiss, 2011; Pajunen, 2008).”
- Social mission as competitive advantage: A configurational analysis of the strategic conditions of social entrepreneurship (2019, methodology): “suitable method for exploring the complex interactions between the micro-foundations and micro-processes (strategic conditions) of social entrepreneurs (Fiss, 2011).”
- Mapping out the sharing economy: A configurational approach to sharing business modeling (2017, background): “greater parsimony and is considered superior for research intended to identify individuals as part of a type (Fiss 2011).”
- Designing Research With Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): Approaches, Challenges, and Tools (2020, background): “We believe this to be a promising avenue through which to further explore the full potential of QCA to contribute to social science theories in a systematic, cumulative manner (Emmenegger et al. 2013; Fischer and Maggetti 2016; Fiss 2011; Goertz and Starr 2003; Mahoney and Sweet Vanderpoel 2015; Rag”
