Summary: This paper critically evaluates the claims of Cadogan and Lee (2022) regarding the suitability of PLS for scientific studies. It argues that it is not PLS itself that subverts the realist search for truth, but some proponents of the PLS-SEM framework. The paper provides recommendations for researchers using structural equation models, emphasizing the importance of being conscious of different research paradigms, selecting appropriate statistical models, and critically evaluating models.

Summary: In their article, Yuan and Deng argue that if a structural parameter is zero under covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM), then it is also zero under partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). They conclude that null hypothesis tests on individual structural parameters can achieve the same purpose in CB-SEM and PLS-SEM. However, our response highlights that this relationship between PLS-SEM and CB-SEM structural parameters is not universally valid, and therefore, tests on individual parameters in CB-SEM and PLS-SEM generally do not fulfill the same purpose.

Summary: Social Entrepreneurship Organizations (SEOs) provide a solution-oriented and future-oriented approach in the face of complex challenges by combining profitability and purpose. To be successful, SEOs need strong and authentic brands, with differentiation strategies being vital to their survival. However, there is limited empirical research on brand management in SEOs, and this paper introduces a social impact brand model (SIBM) to explore the design process of social entrepreneurial brand meaning. By aligning their brand management activities with the SIBM, SEOs can create authentic and stable brands while meeting stakeholders' expectations.

Summary: This article compares structural equation modeling (SEM) and regression analysis in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The findings suggest that regression analysis with composites yields smaller standard errors and higher SNR. However, our commentary argues that the assumptions and claims made in the original study are incorrect, and thus, further research is required before drawing any conclusions.

Summary: This study explores consumer perception of brand voice authenticity, brand authenticity, and brand attitude when the text source is disclosed as either AI-generated or human-written. Using a 3 x 3 experimental design, Adidas marketing texts were presented as AI, human, or undisclosed to 624 English-speaking students. The findings suggest that AI-generated text is not perceived as less authentic than human-written text, and there is no negative effect on brand voice authenticity and brand attitude if the AI-source is disclosed.

Summary: In 2012 and 2013, critical publications questioned the alleged properties of PLS, leading to developments and a need for a review. Evermann and Ronkko (2023) provide guidelines in the form of 14 recommendations, but they overlook the subtle change in the view on PLS. We explain which models can be estimated by PLS and PLSc, and present the Henseler-Ogasawara specification for estimating composite models by common SEM estimators. Additionally, we review and suggest updates to Evermann and Ronkko's (2023) recommendations.
