The second edition of&nbsp;Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling&nbsp;offers a straightforward and practical guide to PLS-SEM for users ready to go further than the basics of&nbsp;A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, 3rd&nbsp;edition. Even in this advanced guide, the authors have limited the emphasis on equations, formulas, and Greek symbols, and instead rely on detailed explanations of the fundamentals of PLS-SEM and provide general guidelines for understanding and evaluating the results of applying the method. A single study on corporate reputation features as an example throughout the book, along with a single software package (<a href="https://www.smartpls.com/">SmartPLS 4.0</a>) to provide a seamless learning experience. The approach of this book is based on the authors' many years of conducting research and teaching methodology courses, including developing the SmartPLS software. The preparation of the book, especially this new edition, is based on the authors' desire to communicate the PLS-SEM method to a much broader audience from management and marketing to engineering, geography, medicine, political and environmental sciences, psychology, and beyond. The second edition includes a new chapter on the necessary condition analysis (NCA) and covers the most recent developments in PLS-SEM, with detailed guidelines for estimating and validating higher-order constructs and nonlinear effects as well as more insights on multigroup and latent class analyses using FIMIX-PLS and PLS-POS. The book is aimed at researchers and practitioners who seek to gain comprehensive knowledge of more advanced PLS-SEM methods.

A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), by Hair, Hult, Ringle, and Sarstedt, provides a concise yet very practical guide to understanding and using PLS structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). PLS-SEM is evolving as a statistical modeling technique and its use has increased exponentially in recent years within a variety of disciplines, due to the recognition that PLS-SEM′s distinctive methodological features make it a viable alternative to the more popular covariance-based SEM approach. This text―the only comprehensive book available to explain the fundamental aspects of the method―includes extensive examples on SmartPLS software, and is accompanied by multiple data sets that are available for download from the accompanying website (www.pls-sem.com).

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. Authors Joseph F. Hair, Jr., Marko Sarstedt, Christian Ringle, and Siegfried P. Gudergan provide a brief overview of basic concepts before moving to the more advanced material. 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.

A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) by Joseph F. Hair, Jr., G. Tomas M. Hult, Christian Ringle, and Marko Sarstedt is a practical guide that provides concise instructions on how to use partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), an evolving statistical technique, to conduct research and obtain solutions. Featuring the latest research, new examples using the SmartPLS software, and expanded discussions throughout, the Second Edition is designed to be easily understood by those with limited statistical and mathematical training who want to pursue research opportunities in new ways.

The third edition of&nbsp;A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)&nbsp;guides readers through learning and mastering the techniques of this approach in clear language. Authors Joseph H. Hair, Jr., G. Tomas M. Hult, Christian Ringle, and Marko Sarstedt use their years of conducting and teaching research to communicate the fundamentals of PLS-SEM with limited emphasis on equations and symbols, instead, explaining the details in straightforward language. A running case study on corporate reputation follows the different steps in this technique so readers can better understand the research applications. Learning objectives, review and critical thinking questions, and key terms help readers cement their knowledge. This edition has been thoroughly updated, featuring the latest version of the popular software package SmartPLS 3. New topics have been added throughout the text, including a thoroughly revised and extended chapter on mediation, recent research on the foundations of PLS-SEM, distinctions between PLS-SEM and CB-SEM, use with secondary data, model fit and comparison, information on control variables, sample size calculations, and more.&nbsp;

<div> Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a standard approach for analyzing complex inter-relationships between observed and latent variables. Researchers appreciate the many advantages of PLS-SEM such as the possibility to estimate very complex models and the method's flexibility in terms of data requirements and measurement specification. This practical open access guide provides a step-by-step treatment of the major choices in analyzing PLS path models using R, a free software environment for statistical computing, which runs on Windows, macOS, and UNIX computer platforms. Adopting the R software's SEMinR package, which brings a friendly syntax to creating and estimating structural equation models, each chapter offers a concise overview of relevant topics and metrics, followed by an in-depth description of a case study. Simple instructions give readers the "how-tos" of using SEMinR to obtain solutions and document their results. Rules of thumb in every chapter provide guidance on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM. </div>

This accessible, practice-oriented and compact text provides a hands-on introduction to market research. Using the market research process as a framework, it explains how to collect and describe data and presents the most important and frequently used quantitative analysis techniques, such as ANOVA, regression analysis, factor analysis and cluster analysis. 
The book describes the theoretical choices a market researcher has to make with regard to each technique, discusses how these are converted into actions in IBM SPSS version 22 and how to interpret the output. Each chapter concludes with a case study that illustrates the process using real-world data. A comprehensive Web appendix includes additional analysis techniques, datasets, video files and case studies. Tags in the text allow readers to quickly access Web content with their mobile device.
The new edition features: 
<ul>
<li>Stronger emphasis on the gathering and analysis of secondary data (e.g., internet and social networking data)</li>
<li>New material on data description (e.g., outlier detection and missing value analysis)</li>
<li>Improved use of educational elements such as learning objectives, keywords, self-assessment tests, case studies, and much more</li>
<li>Streamlined and simplified coverage of the data analysis techniques with more rules-of-thumb</li>
<li>Uses IBM SPSS version 22</li>

Eines Tages ist es so weit: Der Nachwuchs steht ins Haus und damit eine Reihe von Planungsproblemen. Ein sozialverträglicher Name und ein Kinderwagen mit maximaler sozialer Anerkennung müssen gefunden werden. Nach der Geburt wird es nicht einfacher! Wie viele Windeln muss ich vorrätig halten? Wie bestimme ich die kürzeste Kinderwagentour zwischen Bäckerei, Spielplatz, Apotheke, Supermarkt und Drogeriemarkt? Viele Unwägbarkeiten machen das Elterndasein anstrengend. Aber das muss nicht sein! Dieses Buch schafft Abhilfe, indem es wichtige Planungsprobleme des elterlichen Alltags mit betriebswirtschaftlichen Methoden analysiert und löst. In der 2. Auflage wurden zwei neue Probleme zur Maximierung der elterlichen Zufriedenheit gelöst. ,,Ich freue mich, dass weitere wesentliche Lebensbereiche optimiert werden und wünsche dem Optimierungsnachwuchsbuch ein gutes Gedeihen."Prof. Dr. Bernd Stauss, Autor von "Optmimiert Weihnachten"
