Social Networks and Digital Influencers: Their Role in Customer Decision Journey in Tourism

Several studies have shown the impact of social media on tourism and the role of digital influencers. However, the relationship between social media, digital influencers, and the customer decision journey has not been much studied. To help fill this gap, the present study examines the role of digital influencers during each phase of the customer decision journey using an online survey. The findings from 244 social media users show that the majority use social networks when planning a trip, however, sharing the experiences of other travellers is not a relevant aspect. While, overall, digital influencers have no significant impact, their followers tend to value their content, visit the sites they suggest, and share their own experiences, mostly through Instagram.
Actual Purchase Behavior of Edible Bird’s Nest Products in Malaysia Using Cluster Analysis

ABSTRACT The focus of this study was to classify actual buying behavior of edible bird’s nest (EBN) products into relatively homogenous groups for the purpose of market segmentation. Determining the profile of actual customers could provide direct characterization of products that should be displayed on the shelf. The data were collected by quota sampling with 312 buyers participated in the survey. Three types of cluster models (K-means, Kohonen, and two-step cluster) were estimated and compared with in order to identify an optimum number of clusters and capture group with a similar pattern. Foremost, a two-step method was chosen for analysis as it provides better average silhouette and well-defined of group segments than the other two cluster methods. The results provide specific characterization of buyers that will be useful to build a target list of potential customers and develop new offerings to meet the new needs of customers for EBN products in Malaysia.

Corporate Entrepreneurship, Strategy Formulation, and the Performance of the Nigerian Manufacturing Sector

Corporate entrepreneurship is a process that encourages formulating and implementing new ideas, taking risks, and creating new ideas to start new businesses. It is associated with innovation, which results in entrepreneur wealth and adds value for an organisation and the customers that buy the products. The Nigerian manufacturing sector has been underperforming in the past decade with numerous firms in the sector operating at less than 30% of initially installed capacity. Despite various industrial transformation programmes initiated by the successive governments to boost manufacturing outputs, most firms in this sector do not seem to have made any significant progress in response. Reasons for this underperformance is arguably due to the misalignment between ‘externally-driven’ policies and the ‘internal processes’ within the individual firms of various sizes. To explore and unravel the undercurrents impelling the seeming strategy- environment misalignment, this study takes a recourse to the strategic management literature. It draws from the intersectionality of strategy-environment congruence and the attendant moderating effect on performance. In order to drill down to conceptual specifics, it builds on the 3Cs framework (competence, commitment and co-ordination) initially propounded by Jha and Iyer (2007). Based on a sample of 32 manufacturing firms and leaning on the qualitative methodological approach (using interpretative phenomenological analysis), the study sought to gain situated, contextual, insights into the perceptions of the phenomenon as demonstrable in the strategic configuration. It interrogated respective processes of strategy formulation and implementation in the degree to which they are moderated by the contending environmental variables and the cumulative impact on corporate performance. This is the level of analysis at which corporate entrepreneurship behaviour, in terms of both antecedents and consequences, profoundly manifests itself; mirroring management behaviour, sensitivity and predilections towards environmental scanning capabilities. The sample of firms was drawn from firms of varying sizes in four geopolitical zones of Nigeria – South West, South East, South, and North Central. Results indicate profound ambivalences in the nature of the operating environment and the signals emitted there from which, in turn, truncates entrepreneurial behaviours of firms. Essentially, negative perceptions of the environment militated against strategic coherence, thus adversely impacting corporate performances. Essentially, the eclectic 3Cs paradigm holds strong explanatory as well as diagnostic force in explicating the setbacks of the Nigerian manufacturing sector. The analytical prism is a novelty and offers tremendous latitude for sketching out appropriate turnaround intervention strategies.
Validation of the Stroke Drivers Screening Assessment for patients with an acquired neurological disability.

The Stroke Drivers Screening Assessment (SDSA) is a collection of three cognitive tests found predictive of driving in stroke patients. Whilst two of the test (Square Matrices and Road Sign Recognition) were good predictors of on-road performance, it remained unknown whether the SDSA could predict fitness to drive for people with other acquired neurological disabilities. The on-road test, considered the 'gold standard' of driving ability, was the criterion against which SDSA performance was compared. Since the SDSA's validity depends on the reliability of the driving instructor's decision, it seemed important to check that this was consistent with instructors elsewhere. Therefore this study had three aims:- i)To examine the content and concurrent validity of the SDSA sub test. ii)To determine whether the SDSA, either alone or in conjunction with other cognitive tests, could predict fitness to drive for patients with acquired neurological disabilities other than stroke. iii) to check the inter-rater reliability of the gold standard of driving ability (used in studies to validate the SDSA).
Hepatitis C Virus genotypes detected in Erciyes University

SUMMARY Hepatitis C virus is an important cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. There has been at least 6 genotypes of HCV and genotype 1b has been associated with more severe liver disease and poor response to therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of HCV genotypes among patients with chronic hepatitis C in Kayseri. Fifty seven patients with chronic hepatitis C were included in this study. HCV RNA viral load were determined by real time PCR method. HCV RNA positive sera were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Type 1b and type 1a were detected in 55 ( 96.5 %) of patients and 2 ( 3.5 %) of the patients respectively. HCV genotype 1b is the predominant genotype in patients with chronic hepatitis C in Kayseri. The results of our study contribute important information to the management and treatment of chronic hepatitis C in our region.
Price Promotions Cause Impatience

In this research, the authors propose that incidental exposure to price promotions can cause downstream impatience in an unrelated domain. Specifically, price promotions trigger reward seeking—a general motivational state—and reward seeking, in turn, yields impatience. Seven experiments (N = 1,795) demonstrate how incidental exposure to price promotions can cause greater willingness to pay to avoid waiting (Experiments 1a and 1b), shorter actual wait times (Experiments 2, 3b, and 5), greater propensity to break a rule to save time (Experiment 3a), and greater discounting in a consequential intertemporal choice (Experiment 4). Consistent with this account, the effect is both more pronounced for people with greater reward sensitivity (Experiments 3a and 3b) and mediated by reward seeking (Experiment 4). Finally, a conceptual replication in a field setting underscores the external validity and managerial relevance of the findings (Experiment 5).
What is the best way to diagnose polycystic ovarian syndrome

n Evidence summary Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition of unexplained hyperandrogenic chronic anovulation that affects at least 4% of women of reproductive age. Because PCOS is a clinical syndrome, no single diagnostic criterion is sufficient for diagnosis. Clinical features include menstrual irregularities or infertility, hirsutism, male-pattern balding, acne, ovarian enlargement, and signs of insulin resistance (eg, central obesity, acanthosis nigricans). A 2003 international consensus panel concluded that the presence of 2 of 3 criteria (oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries), in the absence of other secondary causes, is sufficient to make the diagnosis. Evidence for hyperandrogenism includes hirsutism, acne, or elevated total testosterone levels. A high luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH) ratio supports the C L I N I C A L C O M M E N T A R Y
Application of Objective Structured Clinical Examination in Community Health Nursing Course: Experience of Staff Members and Students

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is the most valid and reliable tool for evaluation of performance competency. There are different formats of OSCE to assess the cognitive and psychomotor skills as well as the knowledge recall and communication skills in an objective and consistent manner. It is important to involve students and examiners in changing or innovating of evaluation pattern. The present study aimed to investigate the perception and experience of staff members and students toward introducing OSCE as a new approach of assessment in community health nursing course. In addition to compare the applicability of using three different structured methods of simulated patient (Lay person with staff members, Staff members play double roles and two staff members), in order to find out the most appropriate simulated patient method. The study is a mix of quantitative and qualitative design. It was carried out at the fourth year community health-nursing students, totaling 160 students. All examiners (n= 16) and only 60 students participated at the focus group sessions. Results revealed that most of students and examiners were satisfied with the objectivity of OSCE and the variety of questions that increase the chance of gaining marks. The students' level of performance ranged from good to excellent in all stations for most of students. The study recommends introducing OSCE into the curriculum of community health nursing course and holding comprehensive training for staff members on being a simulated patient and examiner at the same time.
Resource Congestion in Alliance Networks: How a Firm’s Partners’ Partners Influence the Benefits of Collaboration

Research summary The network resources a firm can access through its strategic alliances are critical precursors to innovation: They provide the information and know‐how needed to generate new knowledge. Yet prior literature has not directly considered the congestion of network resources stemming from constraints on their capacity to be applied without loss of value across multiple settings. I examine the degree to which this form of resource congestion influences the innovation benefits a focal firm realizes from its alliance portfolio. In a panel dataset of biopharmaceutical firms, I find that the knowledge‐based resources of a focal firm's alliance partners can be congested due to multiple claims on these resources from the firm's partners’ partners. This insight bridges the network and resource‐based perspectives on alliances and innovation. Managerial summary Strategic alliances are an essential tool for managers in knowledge‐intensive settings: They allow firms to access diverse information and know‐how which can be of critical importance as inputs to the innovation process. What managers may overlook, however, is that the knowledge‐based resources of their alliance partners can be congested due to competing claims on these resources from the other alliances in which their partners are engaged. In such cases, firms may end up competing for resources such as partner time and attention with their partners’ other partners. Consequently, when engaging in alliances, managers should be attentive not only to the knowledge resources an alliance partner may hold but also to whether these partner knowledge resources may ultimately be congested due to their partners’ other relationships.

Income smoothing practices is a common phenomenon and is one of the earnings management that is defined as a reduction in income likely fluctuations from year to year by moving income from year to year high earnings to periods that are less favorable. This study aimed to examine the influence of NPM, ROA, firm size and financial leverage on the income smoothing on companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This study uses Eckel index to classify companies that do or do not do income smoothing practices. The sample used in this study were 68 companies listed on the Stock Exchange within three years from 2012 to 2014 with the selection purposive sampling method. The statistical analysis used in this study with descriptive statistics and logistic regression results from Eckel index menunjukkanadanya income smoothing practices undertaken by companies listed on the Stock Exchange. In the multivariate analysis of the four independent variables, it turns out all the variables significantly influence income smoothing practices.
Trainspotting: Board Appointments in Private Firms

We examine how the size of the corporate directors’ labor market affects the quality of board appointments in Italian private firms. To establish the causality of the relationship, we exploit exogenous variations in firms’ access to non-local potential directors following the gradual introduction of a high-speed train, which improved rail connections between cities. Using administrative data on board members belonging to the universe of limited liability companies and a two-way fixed-effects model, we obtain time-invariant measures of firm and director quality. We demonstrate that a positive shock to the non-local director supply increases positive assortative matching between firms and directors. High-quality firms improve the quality of their boards, while lower-quality firms attract lower quality directors. The effect arises from a more active re-matching along the high-speed train line. Our results further suggest that the private firms’ boards with higher quality directors are associated with higher firm growth and productivity, and a lower probability of default.
Study of profile of poisoning cases reported to district hospital, Chamarajanagar, Karnataka, India

Background: Poisoning is a major public health problem worldwide, with thousands of deaths occurring every year, mainly in the developing countries. India, holding 70% of agricultural land, accounts for one third of pesticide poisoning cases in the third world, the farm workers being the worst affected. Most of the poisonings occur due to deliberate self-ingestion of the poison. Organo-phosphorus (OP) compounds occupy the greatest burden of poisoning related morbidity and mortality. The present study was aimed to know the profile of various poisoning cases admitted to emergency department in district hospital, Chamarajanagar, Karnataka, India. The main objectives of this study were to determine the profile of poisoning cases reported to district hospital, Chamarajanagar and to assess their pattern and outcome. Methods: A record based retrospective study for the year 2012 i.e. from 1 st January 2012 to 31 st December 2012 was conducted in district hospital, Chamarajanagar, Karnataka, India and the data regarding age, gender, residence, time elapsed after intake, type of poison, manner and route of poisoning, duration of hospitalization and outcome were collected in a pre-structured proforma. The data was analyzed using standard statistical methods. Results: In present study, rural hindu males were among the highest reported cases, with maximum number of cases reported during the month of March and during the 12:01 to 18:00 hours of the day. Irritant poisons accounts to the highest incidence (68%) among poisoning in present study. Pesticides, organophosphorus compound in particular form the major type of poisons among irritants followed by snake bite, rat poison and honey bee bite (sting). Conclusions: This study highlights the profile of poisoning cases admitted to the Chamarajanagar District, Karnataka, India which clearly indicates the high risk population involved and the common poisons encountered in these region.
Aseptic femoral osteitis and stemocostal hyperostosis from SAPHO syndrome

Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome are characterized by peculiar bone lesions that commonly involve the anterior chest wall. Osteitis typically is the most prominent skeletal lesion seen in synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome. We present a patient with aseptic femoral osteitis and sternocostal hyperostosis. The classic clinical, radiographic, and histologic features of this syndrome are described. Diagnosis is difficult in patients with only one symptomatic bone. The lesion often is confused with suppurative osteomyelitis because of similar clinicopathologic findings. Although the optimal treatment is unclear, it is important to consider synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome in the differential diagnosis of any lytic, sclerotic, or hyperostotic bone lesion to avoid unnecessary long-term antibiotic therapy.
Employee Retention and Turnover

This exploration of what employee turnover is, why it happens and what it means for companies and employees draws together contemporary and classic theories and research to present a well-rounded perspective on employee retention and turnover. The book uses models such as job embeddedness theory, proximal withdrawal states, and context-emergent turnover theory, as well as highlights cultural differences affecting global differences in turnover. Employee Retention and Turnover contextualises the issue of turnover, its causes and its consequences, before discussing underrepresented antecedents of turnover, key aspects of retention and methods for regulating turnover, and future research directions. Ideal for both academics and advanced students of industrial/organizational psychology, Employee Retention and Turnover is essential for understanding the past, present and future of turnover and related research.
Analysis of Non-Financial Determinants of Company Value In Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia

This study aims to investigate the nonfinancial determinants of Firm Value of manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange year 2013 up to 2017 period. The determinants represented by Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Firm Size, Dividend, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The sampling method used purposive sampling and the analysis used Eviews 9.0 version. The study result shows that only one variable significantly affects Firm Value which is Institutional Ownership as proxied of GCG and the rest variables that are Independent Board another proxied of GCG, Firm Size, Dividend, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate, and CSR does not significantly affect the Firm Value. All independent variables significantly affect Firm Value weakly simultaneously. This study implies that in formulating firm improvement performance strategy, a manufacturing firm is suggested to consider nonfinancial determinants of firm value that is Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Firm Size, Dividend, Inflation Rate, Exchange Rate and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Legitimising the Role of Corporate Boards and Corporate Social Responsibility on the Performance of Malaysian Listed Companies

Abstract The prime objective of this study is to investigate the legitimate role of corporate boards and corporate social responsibility on the performance of Malaysian listed companies during 2006–2017. Elements of corporate boards include board size, board independence and board diversity, whereas corporate social responsibility (CSR) dimensions constitute marketplace, environment, community and workplace. Both accounting-based (return on assets [ROA], return on equity [ROE]) and market-based (earnings per share [EPS]) performance measures have been employed for measuring performance. Pooled ordinary least squares method (OLS) and multiple regressions are used to estimate the dataset. Findings reveal larger board size and higher board independence positively affect firm performance and significantly legitimise the board role in firms. However, the presence of women on Malaysian corporate boards does not legitimate the performance due to their lower percentage on board, hence insignificantly affecting firm value. Additionally, out of four CSR dimensions, only marketplace is positively and significantly related to EPS and negatively and significantly related to ROA. Conversely, environment, community and workplace are insignificantly related to all performance measures, leaving firms in a questionable legitimate state. This study embraces support from agency theory, resource dependence theory, legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory. However, this research raises questionable insights for regulatory bodies and academicians in the form of corporate legitimacy.
