- Abstract
This study introduces the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) method, outlining its criteria and steps of application. QCA is built on set theory and logical (Boolean) algebra, serving as an effective tool for examining complex phenomena across various scientific fields. The method combines the formalized and systematic approach of quantitative research with the flexibility and broadly interpretive nature of qualitative research. Consequently, it emphasizes unique patterns and interpretative reasoning within a formalized logical framework. With the growing popularity of QCA, it is not surprising that numerous scientific publications in recent years have delved into the method's logic, methodological developments, and software support and presented good practices for successful application. In the second part of the study, the analysis focuses on the most recent international scientific publications in entrepreneurship research that apply the QCA method. The goal is to explore whether the examined studies adhere to the expectations of good practices supporting the proper application of the method. The investigation reveals similar shortcomings in studies that use the QCA method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
