<p class="MsoNormal">In this special issue, we seek original contributions that reflect the recent methodological advances in LSCM research. This comprises new or existing methods and techniques that have potential to address emerging problems, but where applications
in LSCM research have previously been limited. Empirical work in LSCM, showcasing methodological advancement, in terms of methods, both qualitative or quantitative, as well as in terms of approaches for insightful framing of emerging research problems, are
welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are particularly interested in papers in LSCM that showcase methodological advances using:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Explorative design science<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Experiments <o:p></o:p></p>
