Relationship between quality management practices and innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the associations among different quality management (QM) practices and investigate which QM practices directly or indirectly relate to five types of innovation: radical product, radical process, incremental product, incremental process, and administrative innovation.

An analysis of the Six Sigma DMAIC method from the perspective of problem solving
Jeroen de Mast,Joran Lokkerbol +1 more
TL;DR: The DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) method in Six Sigma is often described as an approach for problem solving, but its generality limits the methodological support it provides, and which fails to exploit task-domain specific knowledge.

Towards business intelligence systems success: Effects of maturity and culture on analytical decision making
TL;DR: A quantitative survey-based study to examine the relationships between maturity, information quality, analytical decision- making culture, and the use of information for decision-making as significant elements of the success of BIS finds that BIS maturity has a stronger impact on information access quality.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Common method biases in behavioral research: a critical review of the literature and recommended remedies.
TL;DR: The extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results is examined, potential sources of method biases are identified, the cognitive processes through which method bias influence responses to measures are discussed, the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases is evaluated, and recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and Statistical remedies are provided.
Book
Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling
TL;DR: The book aims to provide the skills necessary to begin to use SEM in research and to interpret and critique the use of method by others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate Data Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a six-step framework for organizing and discussing multivariate data analysis techniques with flowcharts for each is presented, focusing on the use of each technique, rather than its mathematical derivation.

Structural equation modeling in practice: a review and recommended two-step approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development, and present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests.
