Qualitative comparative Analysis as a methodological Concept in Management Research

Summary/Abstract: Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), the method by C. Ragin (2000, 1994, 1987), is the potential for the development of the management discipline. QCA is a methodological bridge between quantitative and qualitative research through the integration of features approach “focused on a specific case, and variables” [Ragin 1987]. The potential of QCA to study the concept of causality, especially for medium-N samples (10 - 50 cases that are too small for linear statistical methods and too large for in-depth qualitative analyses), is illustrated by the four examples in the article. The direction of research adopted by the author, on the application of QCA to examine the organizational configuration of university spin-offs, suggests the possibility of using QCA for testing the typology of organizational configurations in the study area.
