PLS-SEM Path Modeling Workshop <http://www.aibse.org/2014-annual-conference/pls-sem/> 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 <http://www.aibse.org/2014-annual-conference/> that follows October 23-25) *Date: *Thursday, October 23, 2014 *Time: * 1.
