Problems of Applying OLS / Path Analysis for Estimating Structural (Multi-Equation) Models

In their article, The Effect of User Involvement on System Success: A Contingency Approach (MIS Quarterly, March 1988, pp. 91-108), Tait and Vessey used path analysis, an ordinary least squares (OLS) procedure, to estimate the structural model they proposed in their study. Contrary to their contention, we would like to point out that this technique may not be particularly suited to investigating sequential models such as the one they propose.
