SmartPLS Formative 2nd order Constructs

In this video I demonstrate how to model 2nd order formative factors and how to do a 2-step analysis using latent variable scores. This is sometimes called the "repeated indicator" approach. I now have an article published that cites this video. Paul Benjamin Lowry and James Gaskin (2014).
