Qualitative Comparative Analysis in Entrepreneurship Research
探讨了定性比较分析（QCA）在创业研究中的潜力和常见陷阱，并提供了使用指南，帮助研究者避免误用导致假阳性结果。
Configurational research has great promise in entrepreneurship. There are few universal laws or relationships that hold under all circumstances. More often, optimal entrepreneurial outcomes are contingent on many factors. Consequently, configurational analysis using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) has become increasingly popular. However, methodological research in sociology and political science has raised concerns about possible false positive findings produced by this method. In this editorial, we explore the potential and the common pitfalls of QCA in entrepreneurship research, as well as guidelines for its use.
