AIB-SE PLS-SEM Workshop
Introduction
Academy of International Business - Southeast USA Chapter - Workshop on PLS-SEM, Miami, 23 Oct 2014
YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE
AIB-SE WORKSHOP ON PLS-SEM
(Please see the converted pdf file below for full details) Modeling Workshop
Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has recently received considerable attention in a variety of disciplines, including marketing (Hair et al 2011; Hair et al. 2012a, strategic management (Hair et al. 2012a, and management information systems (Ringle et al. 2012).
The growing application of PLS-SEM is accompanied by a broad range of methodological research that extends the method’s toolbox. Most of the workshop will involve “hands-on” analysis of data using the SmartPLS software. SmartPLS software output diagnostics and proper interpretation of the results will be covered. Potential obstacles and “rules-of-thumb” to ensure appropriate application of the technique will be covered.
Who: Individuals wishing to learn the fundamentals of PLS-SEM and the SmartPLS software.
Place: FIU Brickell, 1101 Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL 33131 (Location of AIB-SE 2014 Annual Conference that follows October 23-25)
Date: Thursday, October 23, 2014

Course set-up:
The workshop builds on the contents and data from the PLS-SEM book by Joe F. Hair, G. Tomas M. Hult, Christian M. Ringle and Marko Sarstedt (Sage, 2014). You are encouraged to purchase and bring the book with you to the workshop (available for about $30 on Amazon). Most of the workshop will involve “hands-on” analysis of data using the SmartPLS 2.0 software. The SmartPLS 2.0 software output diagnostics and interpretation of the results will be covered. Potential obstacles and “rules-of-thumb” to ensure appropriate application of the techniques will be covered.
Requirements:
Prior exposure to PLS-SEM is recommended but not required. Participants must bring a laptop with the SmartPLS 2.0 software already installed. The software is available free of charge from . Participants need to install the software several days prior to the workshop as it needs to be activated by the SmartPLS administrator.
