NCA in SmartPLS
Necessary Condition Analysis, Natively. Find the constraints that make or break your outcome.
Overview
NCA (Necessary Condition Analysis) detects conditions that must be present for an outcome to occur. SmartPLS integrates NCA with bottleneck tables and ceiling lines inside your model.
Why It Matters
- Answers a different question than regression/SEM: what is required?
- Perfect for managerial thresholds, educational prerequisites, and policy constraints.
- Seamless with your SmartPLS constructs and indicators.
Core Capabilities
- Ceiling techniques (e.g., CR, CE).
- Effect size and significance via permutation.
- Bottleneck tables to translate findings into actionable thresholds.
- Reults that suppoort the cIPMA.
Use Cases
- Performance thresholds in strategy/operations.
- Capability requirements in IS/innovation studies.
- Educational and HRM minimum requirement analysis.
