Is there any other factors that help Operations Management researchers decide about which type to of SEM (i.e. PLS-SEM or CB-SEM) to use other than sample size. Small sample size has been used as a determinant for using PLS-SEM. Is there any other facotrs that must be taken into consideration before choosing any of these two analysis methods?
When is PLS-SEM analysis is more preffered over the traditional CB-SEM analysis in operations management research?

Note: PLS-SEM is also called Variance-Based SEM (VB-SEM)
Thank you very much Han Ping Fung. This was very helpful; especially the second link. Thanks.

Thsnk you Robert. Very interesting papers and shocking as well, especially the seocnd paper about validity of PLS. Regards
