• Resumen

  • Long Range Planning published a series of special issues in 2012 on the use of partial least squares (PLS) modeling in management research. These issues broke new ground in several ways. They represented a departure from LRP's traditional focus on purely substantive research and signaled our recognition that distinctions between empirical and theoretical work have been drawn too sharply in management research. The quality of research always rests on the underlying theoretical formulation of a research problem. Research methods � regardless of whether they involve quantitative or qualitative data � cannot remedy deficiencies in underlying theory. As I noted in my editorial comments for that issue, PLS modeling highlights this aspect of research particularly clearly.
