Book Description
Abstract: The main objective of this dissertation is to study the role of continuous improvement as a mechanism to build dynamic capabilities. Through three related essays we address how continuous improvement projects are related to performance. The first essay illustrates a configuration research method, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). Based on its descriptions in the literature, QCA appears to be an appropriate method for examining multiple paths to performance using set theory. The main benefit of QCA in contrast to traditional statistical methods is the assumption of complex causality and nonlinear relationships.
