For the first time, the peculiarities of QCA in large-N designs are comprehensively analysed. Based on a systematic compilation of 145 empirical QCA studies valuable insights for the use of QCA as a quantitative technique are presented. For example, an innovative formula is developed which can substantially improve future model specifications. In a next step, the potential of QCA in management research is outlined by tracing configurational theories in a range of disciplines including strategy, HRM, marketing, and international business. This \u003ci\u003etour d’horizon\u003c\/i\u003e through management studies highlights the wide application area of the methodology. Finally, an illustrative study is conducted using the fuzzy set version of QCA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Empirical QCA Studies – The model specification of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in large-N designs – An innovative formula for QCA – The mismatch between hypotheses and method – The polarities and similarities of QCA and regression – An illustrative study using fuzzy set QCA (fsQCA) – Configurational theories in management studies.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044240982359,"sku":"9783631636169","price":41.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631636169.jpg?v=1750960982","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/qualitative-comparative-analysis-qca-and-configurational-thinking-in-management-studies-9783631636169","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
