What is PLS

Chapter 19
Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Social Dynamics in a Globalized World
A term known as Partial Least Square. This is an approach to causal modeling. It is a technique which allows reflecting the theoretical and empirical conditions of behavior. Normally this technique is applied when the theoretical situations are not strong enough and there is little information available. It is a technique that focuses on predictive causal analysis and the results can be interpreted as a step backwards.

Abstract
This chapter studied the institutional influence associated to environmental practices in hotels. The aim was to interpret whether it was the normative, coercive or mimetic pressures (Institutional pressures) that influenced the three, four and five star hotels in north of Portugal and Galicia (a gender perspective). In order to accomplish these objectives, the author used an investigation model that connects institutional context pressures with environmental practices and environmental practices with legitimacy. To study used the Institutional Theory as theoretical reference.
