Academic career

Chin's articles appeared in many high quality academic journals, including MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research . His research interests include information technology diffusion, technology acceptance, structural equation modeling (SEM) methodologies, etc. Chin is widely considered a leading authority on SEM, especially partial least squares (PLS). [2] He developed the first graphical-based software for PLS analyses in 1988 and credited with popularizing this statistical method in the 1990s. [3] Wynne Chin is also considered an expert on reviewing academic articles and was recognized as the "reviewer of the year" by MIS Quarterly. [4] He was awarded an AIS Fellow Award in 2013 recognizing individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the information systems discipline in terms of research, teaching and service. [5]

Chin teaches a number of graduate and undergraduate classes, including philosophy of science, structural equation modeling, research methods, and related subjects.

In 2007 Chin was elected the president of the University of Houston Faculty Senate. [6] He was reelected in 2015 receiving the distinction of being the only faculty ever serving as president twice. [7]

In 2011, Chin was appointed the sommelier of the Association for Information Systems. He was charged with educating the palate of information systems professionals around the world.

He visits Sydney every year and provides intensive PLS training courses at the University of New South Wales.

An information system (IS) is a formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information. From a sociotechnical perspective, information systems are composed by four components: task, people, structure, and technology. Information systems can be defined as an integration of components for collection, storage and processing of data of which the data is used to provide information, contribute to knowledge as well as digital products that facilitate decision making.

In statistics, confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) is a sub-type of structural equation modeling (SEM). Although, historically, CCA emerged from a re-orientation and re-start of partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM), it has become an independent approach and the two should not be confused. In many ways it is similar to, but also quite distinct from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). It shares with CFA the process of model specification, model identification, model estimation, and model assessment. However, in contrast to CFA which always assumes the existence of latent variables, in CCA all variables can be observable, with their interrelationships expressed in terms of composites, i.e., linear compounds of subsets of the variables. The composites are treated as the fundamental objects and path diagrams can be used to illustrate their relationships. This makes CCA particularly useful for disciplines examining theoretical concepts that are designed to attain certain goals, so-called artifacts, and their interplay with theoretical concepts of behavioral sciences.
