Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)
On this page, you find PLS-SEM examples (i.e., data sets and "ready to import" SmartPLS projects). The projects run on SmartPLS 3 (please use the examples of the first PLS-SEM book edition if you use SmartPLS 2). You can download and use this data and PLS-SEM models! However, always cite our textbook (Hair, J.F., Sarstedt, M., Ringle, C.M., and Gudergan, S.P., Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, Sage, Thousand Oaks, 2018) and the use of the SmartPLS software.
SmartPLS 3 Project File for the Advanced Book's Case Studies
The zip file includes the ready to import SmartPLS project. Download the zip file to your computer device (do not extract!), run SmartPLS software, and use the "Import Project from Backup File" to directly import the zip file into SmartPLS. Then, the "Corporate Reputation - Advanced PLS-SEM Book" project appears in your SmartPLS Project Explorer window.

Corporate reputation data case wise deletion
Reduced data set (n=336)
OTG approach (R code)
The zip file includes the R code of the omnibus test of group differences (OTG) approach and a data file to run the code for the COMP->QUAL relationship of the corporate reputation model example and three data groups.
Importance-performance map example in Excel
This Excel file present an example how you can creat an importance-performance map in Excel based on the IPMA results provided by the SmartPLS software.
