Pre-conference Workshops
Join us on this enlightening journey as we bridge the gap between theory and practice, the following workshops aim to equip researchers with knowledge needed to excel in their respective fields.
Workshop 1 : From Theory to Practice: SmartPLS 4.0 Workshop for Effective Modelling
The workshop aims is to give participants the fundamental knowledge and abilities they need to use SmartPLS 4.0 software for advanced statistical modelling in research and business applications. This program, which emphasises practical applications through the use of SmartPLS 4.0, provides a thorough understanding of the theoretical foundations of structural equation modelling (SEM) under the direction of Prof. T. Ramayah. The program interface, data import, model building and validation, result interpretation, and effective communication will all be covered for participants.
Attendees will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to use SmartPLS 4.0 for reliable and insightful modelling through a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and guided activities. This will allow them to improve decision-making processes and drive impactful outcomes in their respective fields.
