Does innovative effort matter for corporate performance in Spanish companies in a context of financial crisis? A fuzzy-set QCA approach

[EN] The aim of this paper is to examine whether innovative effort is a key driver of the financial performance of a set of 3,860 Spanish companies in a context of a financial crisis. For this purpose, we use contrarian case analysis and configural analysis using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative an...

For this purpose, we use contrarian case analysis and configural analysis using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to test the main tenets of complexity theory: (1) innovative effort, as a single antecedent condition, is not a sufficient or necessary factor of a high score in corporate performance; (2) a few possible configurations lead to high corporate performance (equifinality principle); (3) contrarian cases occur; and (4) causal configurations for high scores for corporate performance are not the mirror opposites of causal configurations for low scores for corporate performance (causal asymmetry principle).
