Study of the tenets
| Tenets | Configuration |
|---|---|
| T1: The same condition can appear in different commitment profiles depending on its configurational structure with the others | C1. All six of the examined simple conditions should appear at least in one sufficient configurational solution, i.e. generated solution |
| T2: Recipe principle: If two or more simple conditions create a complex configuration, higher scores will be consistently assigned to this generated solution | C2. At least two out of the six simple attributes should appear in each generated solution |
| T3: Complex configurations will affect entrepreneurs’ overinvestment | C3. Each sufficient generated solution should provide a different combination of conditions among simple attributes |
| T4: Within different combinations, the simple attributes appear as either positively or negatively | C4. None of the simple attributes should appear in all generated solutions |
| T5: Equifinality principle: A sufficient configurational solution, thus the presence of overinvestment, can be achieved through different combinations of conditions | C5. fsQCA can provide a minimum of two generated solutions for describing the commitment profiles to overinvest |
| T6: Although the outcomes scores are high, such a given recipe is not relevant for all cases, thus it cannot lead to overinvestment in all cases | C6. There should be no generated solutions that have a coverage in all cases |
