Abstract

IJLM Editorial: the qualitative 28,4 case study IJLM receives many submissions based on case studies. That is positive as the journal is highly interested in empirical research not the least based on qualitative enquiry. However, in general there seems to be a lack of knowledge on what a qualitative case study is and how to conduct it in a way that makes a research manuscript suitable for a scientific journal. This editorial seeks to give the present IJLM community and future authors some guidelines on the requirements to a qualitative case study in order to pass the initial screening and eventually be accepted by the reviewers. The guidelines are formulated with initial “check questions” for you when you design and write up a qualitative case study. Is your study really qualitative? Qualitative studies entail many research methods; this editorial focuses on the qualitative case study. First of all, the term qualitative needs to be defined as qualitative research is still struggling to find its way into scientific logistics and supply chain management (SCM) journals (e.g. Frankel et al., 2005; Pedrosa et al., 2012).
