Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling provides a practical and applied description of advanced issues in PLS-SEM relevant for students, professors and applied researchers. Authors Joseph F. Hair, Jr., Marko Sarstedt, Christian Ringle, Siegfried P. Gudergan combine simple explanations of complex statistical concepts with examples and case studies that readers can follow using datasets available with the book. Furthermore, instead of providing technical descriptions of the concepts with a multitude of formulae, the book will focus on the appropriate analysis of data and interpretation of outputs. Many of the examples are based on the SmartPLS software, created and maintained by the authors. The book is easy to use for both independent and guided learning, including numerous graphs, tables, illustrations, multiple downloadable datasets (provided on a companion website), exercises, and further readings. Where appropriate, supplementary analyses and data mana

For months, the sun has baked Lila’s Kenyan village. It’s too hot to gather firewood, too hot to weed the garden, even too hot to milk the cow. Without rain, the crops will fail. Lila is so worried that when her grandfather whispers to her the secret of making the rain fall, she decides to do something about it ? even if it means confronting the sky itself. Lila’s quest to save the village is beautifully told in David Conway’s elegant, sparse prose. Jude Daly’s color-drenched illustrations perfectly evoke both the parched landscape and vibrant village life.
