Journal of Business Research, 2016, vol. 69, issue 4, 1351-1356

Abstract: This work analyzes the relationship between business plan quality and survival rates of new ventures. Because no consensus exists on the literature about this topic, the main goal of this study is to prove if a high quality of business plan does imply a great survival chance. In order to do so, this study discusses other antecedent conditions, such as entrepreneur and firm characteristics. Both authors of the study performed this kind of research 3years ago using another kind of statistical method, logistics regression; this research uses fsQCA. The study includes a discussion on the differences between both methods.
