having used SEM and SmartPLS successfully for the first time, I'm unsure at the moment whether I can use it for the following issue:
I'd like to analyze the diffusion of certain groups of metrics in companies.
The idea was to do this by formative constructs, i. e.
- one LV "diffusion of accounting metrics" (formed by MVs "diffusion of metric 1" and "diffusion of metric 2") and
- another LV "diffusion of sales metrics" (formed by MVs "diffusion of metric 1" and "diffusion of metric 2").
Can this be done using latent variable modelling with PLS? Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,
Sven
