“ PLS-SEM is a powerful analytical research tool for empirical scholars. I am quite familiar with the SmartPLS courses led by Christian Ringle and Marko Sarstedt, who I have worked with for the past 15 years. They are experts at the forefront of established as well as emerging variance-based SEM methods. In their PLS-SEM courses they provide clear, practical insights that enable participants to master SmartPLS and apply it effectively in their research and related projects. ”

Prof. Dr. Joe Hair (University of South Alabama, USA)
