"UK evidence for the determinants of R&D intensity from a panel fsQCA." Journal of Business Research, Vol. 69, No.11: pp. 5431-5436.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/24934The Financial support from FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, Portugal) through the Advance Research CentreThis study investigates whether configurations of situational determinants impact R&D intensity. Using a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), the study assesses the consistency and coverage, both cross-sectionally and over time, of these configurations. The global solution presents four alternative combinations conducive to R&D intensity and concludes that situational determinants matter. The way managers use their aspirations, the proximity of bankruptcy, and the availability of slack affects the propensity to engage in R&D. Further, the results showthat firms are not all alike and highlight the differences in howthese determinants combine to impact R&D intensity.engR&D IntensityAspirationsSlackBankruptcyPanel DataFuzzy-Set Analysisjournal articledx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusres.2016.04.150
