SMARTPLS WORKSHOP PPT SOFTWARE

A focus on accessibility is reflected through limited equations, formulas, and Greek symbols to facilitate clear understanding.

Rules of Thumb in every chapter provide guidelines on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM.

Simple instructions give readers the РІР‚Сљhow-tosРІР‚Сњ of using the SmartPLS software ( to obtain solutions, and prepare manuscripts using PLS-SEM for academic journal submissions.

An extended description of moderation covers different approaches for creating the interaction term (e.g., the orthogonalizing approach), three-way interactions, measurement model evaluation, and the interpretation of results by using slope plots.An updated chapter on advanced topics briefly introduces, among others, the importance-performance map analysis, confirmatory tetrad analysis, multigroup analysis, and measurement invariance assessment in PLS-SEM.Coverage of several methods for constructing bootstrap confidence intervals includes percentile, studentized, bias-corrected, and accelerated, as well as two double bootstrap methods.A new in-depth discussion explores the various types of mediation, alternative mediation analysis procedures, mediated moderation, and moderated mediation.

New coverage includes recent discussion of PLS-SEM as a composite-based method to SEM, the distinction between PLS-SEM and CB-SEM and the model constellations which favor the use of PLS-SEM, the concept of model fit in a PLS-SEM context, and a new criterion for discriminant validity assessment: the heterotrait-monotrait (HTMT) ratio of correlations.

A new overview of the latest research on composite-based modeling (e.g., distinction between composite and causal indicators) enhances reader understanding of the conceptual foundation for PLS-SEM.
