The same case and database is used throughout the book to facilitate consistency in the issues associated with the case.Rules of Thumb in every chapter provide practical guidelines on best practices in applying and interpreting PLS-SEM and in preparing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.Limited use of formulas, equations, Greek symbols, and similar notations makes it easy to understand concepts.Coverage of advanced concepts demonstrates the PLS-SEM method as a viable alternative to the more popular CB-SEM approach and clearly shows students and researchers how they can apply the techniques to their research problems and accurately interpret the results.Offering extensive examples on SmartPLS 3 software and accompanied by free downloadable data sets, the book emphasizes that any advanced PLS-SEM approach should be carefully applied to ensure that it fits the appropriate research context and the data characteristics that underpin the research. The book provides a brief overview of basic concepts before moving to the more advanced material. Written as an extension of A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Second Edition, this easy-to-understand, practical guide covers advanced content on PLS-SEM to help students and researchers apply techniques to research problems and accurately interpret results. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.Īll case studies in this PLS-SEM book use the SmartPLS 3 software. Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).
