Abstract: | This study discusses business decisions and especially service elimination decisions in the UK. It compares the results of a traditional variable-centred analysis of the results with a case-based combinatorial approach that uses fyzzy-set analysis. It is suggested that the latter approach adds the facility to researchers of analysing logical rather than statistical relationships. A new piece of software, Fuzzy Set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FS/QCA), is introduced and used to provide analyses of logical necessity and logical adequacy for combinations of factors that might affect the service elimination decision. |
