摘要

使用定性比较分析法（QCA）研究时间变化，可以让研究人员检查基于时间的条件配置与预期结果之间复杂而动态的因果关系。目前还没有一种全面的定性比较分析技术能以统一的方式研究复杂的时间变化。为了弥补这些不足，我们引入了生长模式 QCA--一种研究复杂生长动态的混合方法技术。我们将用于计算增长斜率的定量计算工具包与 QCA 相结合，并使用一个说明性的多年面板进行了演示。我们为研究人员在各种创业研究环境中应用这些混合方法分析和预测复杂增长模式提供了实用指导。我们还回顾了现有技术，并为研究人员提供了与时间相关的量化分析方法决策路线图，以便他们根据自己的研究目标选择最佳方案。

Riding the Waves of Change: Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis to Analyze Complex Growth Patterns in Entrepreneurship

Studying temporal change using Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) allows researchers to examine complex and dynamic causal pathways between configurations of time-based conditions and a desired outcome. No comprehensive QCA technique currently addresses complex temporal changes in a unified manner. To remedy these shortcomings, we introduce Growth Pattern QCA—a mixed-method technique for studying complex growth dynamics. We integrate a quantitative computational toolkit for calculating growth slopes with QCA and demonstrate it using an illustrative multiyear panel. We offer practical guidance for researchers to apply these mixed methods for analyzing and forecasting complex growth patterns in various entrepreneurship research settings. We also review existing techniques and provide a decision roadmap of time-related QCA methods for researchers to use the best option for their research objectives.
