Help me with a dissertation and SPSS
Hello, I’m a PhD student with the major in Business.
But I’m currently employed, and I really have no time to write my dissertation.
It is on SMEs in South Africa.
I have problems with applying the SPSS tool in order to analyze the quantitative data with the help of the correlation and regression analysis methods. Who has the expertise in this area?

In our class on Statistics, we learned how to use all these tools. The SPSS software has many similarities with MS Excel. Thus, you need to follow the instructions and guidelines from videos. The only challenge for me was the accurate data input because any error can influence the results of the research.

My instructor asks us to use the PLS regression because he claims that regression conducted with the help of Excel or SPSS is not of the PhD level.

Hi, I wrote my PhD thesis on sustainability and referred to SMEs. I used SPSS to prepare calculations and graphs. I have found all details about using SPSS on the web. You just need two or three hours to examine all aspects and be ready to use the software.
