The crucial role of market intelligence in the development of small business marketing capabilities
Authors: Carson Grace , O'Connor Christina , Simmons Geoff 
Published: June 2020

PurposeDrawing on the resource-based view of the firm, this article explores the influences of market intelligence on the development of small business marketing capabilities, with reference to specialized marketing capabilities, architectural marketing capabilities and dynamic capabilities.Design/methodology/approachThe conceptual framework and propositions present and interpret the resource–capability complementarity between market intelligence and small business marketing capabilities and outline the relationship between individual capability sets.FindingsMarket intelligence is shown to be crucial in the development of small business marketing capabilities and in the implementation of more formalized marketing strategies that allow small businesses to create value for customers and improve their performance. However, the level to which market intelligence is utilized and marketing capabilities are developed is found to be considerably influenced by the small business owner-manager and firm learning.Practical implicationsIt is imperative that small businesses acknowledge the practical benefits of market intelligence and harness these advantages accordingly. However, owner-managers must be motivated to encourage the development of more formalized marketing capabilities and act incisively upon the information derived from market intelligence.Originality/valueRecent research indicates that market intelligence and marketing capabilities can interact to enable a firm to align its resources with the market, by providing customer insights that guide them as to which value-adding activities they should implement. However, extant research in this area remains in its infancy, and very little is known about the adoption processes of market intelligence in small businesses and its role in developing marketing capabilities.
Selecting information products and services to embed in a virtual learning environment to support engineering undergraduates in a blended learning context
Authors: Makhafola Lesego , Van Deventer Martie J. 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to understand what role undergraduate third- and fourth-year students expect librarians to play in an online learning environment and to determine what information products, training and other services the students expected librarians to embed.Design/methodology/approachThis case study used a convergent parallel mixed methods design. Data were collected from both students and lecturers. An online questionnaire was used to collect mainly quantitative data from the undergraduates while a semi-structured interview schedule was used for in-depth discussions with lecturers.FindingsContrary to what was expected, engineering students regarded access to an embedded librarian as important. Lecturers prefer that a separate, mandatory module is created and embedded in the learning environment. Product and service expectations were not surprising, but there are gaps to fill when it comes to training needs.Research limitations/implicationsThe research sample was small and therefore generalizations are not advisable.Originality/valueThe research holds value to stakeholders involved in the teaching and learning of engineering subjects. Librarians embarking on the process of embedding their services online should also find the results useful.
Development of a framework for lean enterprise
Authors: Jasti Naga Vamsi Krishna , Kota Srinivas , Kale Samir Ramdas 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Lean enterprise (LE) is one of the emerging fields because of its impact across industry sectors. There were many LE framework articles published in the past without reviewing or considering the already published literature which lead to lots of inconsistencies in the existing frameworks of LE. This study aims to critically review the existing frameworks to identify inconsistencies and propose a new LE framework to overcome limitations of the existing LE frameworks.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the existing LE frameworks. All these identified frameworks were classified based on the following criteria: novelty of the framework; based on participation of academicians/practitioners/consultants; whether the proposed frameworks were verified; type of verification methodology used; and the degree of standardization of LE elements. A comprehensive LE framework was proposed after a thorough review of the existing LE frameworks which has been validated through reliability analysis and validity analysis.

Findings
The analysis revealed major inconsistencies such as lack of adaptation of existing frameworks in literature which lead to incoherent elements in LE frameworks. The study also found shortage of significant participation of academicians and practitioners in LE frameworks development compared to consultants. The present work established a road map to find a “cohesive theory of LE”, which resulted in the development of a set of coherent elements. Finally, a comprehensive LE framework was proposed with the help of extensive literature review. The initially proposed 106 elements were condensed to 50 after the validation to increase the focus and relevance.

Research limitations/implications
The proposed LE framework needs to be validated via an empirical approach or clinical approach such as a case study which will be the future work.

Originality/value
The present study performed extensive literature review to identify LE-related articles, corresponding elements and established coherency among them. A new comprehensive framework was proposed.
Litigation risk and payout policy
Authors: Malm James , Kanuri Srinidhi 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to examine the relationship between litigation risk and payout policy.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employ various regression techniques including probit, logit and tobit regression methodologies to study the relationship between litigation risk (contemporaneous measures, litigation dummy) and payout policy (dividend payout likelihood and dividend yield). The authors also conduct several robustness tests.FindingsThe authors find that firms involved in a lawsuit have a lower propensity to distribute dividends to shareholders. In particular, the authors document a negative relationship between litigation risk and payout policy as measured by dividend payout likelihood and dividend yield. The results are robust to a series of robustness tests including using alternate regression specifications, alternate measures of litigation and payout policy, a propensity-score matched sample and using an instrumental variable.Originality/valueThe paper identifies another determinant of payout policy and documents another avenue whereby legal institutions affect corporate payout policy. The link between litigation risk and payout policy is of interest to the business community, financial economists, management and the investing public.
CEO overconfidence and firm internationalization: the moderating role of experience and managerial discretion
Authors: Lin Runhui , Li Fei , Olawoyin Adedigba 
Published: June 2020

PurposeOverconfidence as an important psychological factor can also affect CEO’s cognitive preferences, while there are few studies about the impact of CEO’ overconfidence on the international expansion of companies. This paper aims to fill this gap and further discuss the moderating role of CEO’s overseas experience, CEO duality and ownership.Design/methodology/approachThe authors focus on the Chinese context, collect 2008–2016 data from China's manufacturing industry as sample, use fixed effect model to analyse the effect of CEO overconfidence on international expansion strategy of Chinese firms.FindingsThe empirical results show that: CEO overconfidence positively promotes the degree of firm internationalization. CEO foreign experience positively affects the internationalization degree, but can restrain overconfidence thus negatively regulate this impact relationship. When duality is present, both CEO power and managerial discretion are pronounced and they exhibit a stronger effect. Firm’s equity nature will affect the relationship between CEOs' overconfidence and the degree of internationalization. Compared with private enterprises, CEOs in state-owned enterprises have limited power, therefore, this influence relationship is weaker.Originality/valueThis study has emphasized the importance of top executives' psychological characteristics on firm internationalization, which is key application and complement of upper echelons theory and fills the research gap in the literature. In this paper, the authors found the advantages of overconfidence for firms, which helps to understand the complex meaning of overconfidence. The results of moderating effect further explore the application of overconfidence in different context, which has some implications for management practice.

PurposeThis early grades lesson set for the age group of 4–8 years explores the concepts of diversity, inclusion and friendship, involving three young students who are recent immigrants. The lesson set uses two companion books. In the book I am New Here, three recently immigrated young children from Guatemala, Korea and Somalia step into and experience their new school in their new country, the USA. In the companion book Someone New, their classmates explore how to reach out to and become friends with these new peers. The companion books are a resource for this lesson set, as they portray typical young learners who are immigrants exploring their identities and sources of support and how their presence and experiences challenge their classmates to find ways to support them in their new environment.Design/methodology/approachStudents are guided to see themselves and others as unique individuals, with a range of abilities including the ability to speak different languages, to read and write in different ways so that they may initiate discussion and connect with classmates. Students occupy both the roles of new immigrant students and domestic students while they read the books, model how to interact with a new friend and represent their experiences in the lesson set.FindingsThe books promote young learners' interactions within and across groups. Both the domestic and immigrant students are encouraged to approach the experience of difference in school spaces as mutually beneficial, providing opportunities to learn more about self and others, as well as to develop a sense of inclusivity and friendship.Originality/valueSomeone New and I am New Here are companion books that together present a story of diversity, inclusion and friendship rendered in different perspectives. Efforts are made by three young students, who are immigrants from Guatemala, Korea and Somalia, and their classmates to understand and relate to each other. The books promote young learners’ interactions within and across groups.
Agritourism: experience design, activities, and revisit intention
Authors: Liang Austin Rong-Da , Hsiao Teng-Yuan , Chen Dun-Ji , Lin Jie-Heng 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Previous studies have discussed individual effects that certain agritourism activities have on visitor response while ignoring interaction effects. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to discuss both the individual and interaction effects of agritourism activities on tourist revisit intention.

Design/methodology/approach
This study classified agritourism activities into four categories and collected 883 valid samples. Logistic regression was then applied to test the influence of agritourism activities on tourist revisit intention.

Findings
Based on the results of the statistical analysis, it was found that those agritourism activities, which required mutual cooperation such as do-it-yourself (DIY), animal interaction/feeding and fruit and vegetable picking, enhanced tourist revisit intention. Furthermore, the agritourism groups participating in activities with or without children did not have consistent revisit intentions regarding animal feeding/interaction activities. In particular, this study found that willingness to revisit for tourists with children was influenced by animal feeding/interaction, but not for tourists without children.

Research limitations/implications
This study demonstrates that not all agritourism activities enhance revisit intention. For this reason, agritourism businesses should consider redesigning their activities related to visitor and animal interactions as increasing conscientiousness regarding animal welfare, especially with regard to animal abuse. Additionally, those activities focused on education and ecology are not as appreciated by tourists as they may have been previously assumed between different groups.

Originality/value
The findings of this study reveal that if the types of agritourism activities could fulfill visitors' expectations and desires they are more likely to have a satisfying experience. The authors consider some of these notions to be a kind of unrealistic fantasy regarding agritourism and the kind of activities involved therein. This kind of fantasy is likely formed by visitors 2019 past experiences and culture. As a result, the authors conclude that agritourism activities focused on the education of plants and ecology do not achieve the truly preferred aim of better interaction between people.

AbstractObjectiveEarly recognition and treatment for sepsis is critical in improving patient outcomes. The present study sought to examine whether triage location was associated with time to appropriate antibiotics in a cohort of ED patients with septic shock.MethodsSeptic shock patients were identified from a database of ED patients admitted with infection. Demographic, clinical and outcome data were reported by triage location. Time to event analyses sought to identify the association between triage location and time to appropriate antibiotic. Secondary outcome variables included ED and hospital length of stay (LOS), 30‐day mortality, and ICU admission.ResultsTime to appropriate antibiotic administration was longer for those patients triaged to lower acuity (242 min) compared to higher acuity (98 min,P < 0.01) locations. After adjustment for severity of illness, hospital LOS, ED LOS and 30‐day mortality were similar regardless of the triaged location. Admission to ICU was lower for patients triaged to lower (7.3%) compared to higher (47.3%) acuity treatment locations.ConclusionsWe identified a sub‐group of septic shock patients triaged to a lower acuity treatment location who received significant delays to antibiotics. This research area deserves closer examination to potentially recognise septic shock earlier in the continuum.

AbstractTriggered by the development of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) during the production of Scotch whisky, this study examined the influence of yeast and LAB inoculation on whisky flavor. Four new spirits were produced using the same process. LAB were added as a form of a Greek yogurt's live culture. In each category (barley and rye), one sample was fermented with Greek yogurt while the other was fermented without it. The spirits were matured and analyzed at five different points. Results from gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) analysis showed basic volatile compounds, along with some important extra compounds with yogurt culture. The most obvious differences were observed in the concentration of butanoic acid, a characteristic acid in spirits undergoing lactic acid fermentation: to identify esters such as ethyl butanoate, ethyl isobutanoate, isoamyl butanoate, and 2‐phenylethyl butanoate, they are not typical compounds in whisky.

AbstractObjectiveFasting may lead to some problems in patients who have to use drugs on a regular and continuous basis. The objective of this study is to identify rheumatology patients' attitudes toward Ramadan and fasting.MethodThe descriptive and cross‐sectional study was conducted with 374 patients. The study data were collected using a questionnaire form. SPSS was used and percentage and Chi‐square analyses were performed.ResultsIt was determined that 56.1% fasted during Ramadan. When asked about the effect of fasting on the disease, 88.4% of those who fasted answered “it had no effect”, and 80.1% of those that did not fast said “it affected negatively” (P < .05). It was determined that 41.9% of the fasting patients did not visit the doctor during Ramadan, 52.9% continued using their drugs without any change, and 73.3% did not ask for information on fasting. The rate of patients who were informed by the doctor without any request for information was found to be only 9% (P < .05).ConclusionIt was determined that more than half of the rheumatology patients fasted, the majority of these patients thought that it would not affect their disease, and the rate of request for information from the doctor was low. It is considered that a drug program could be prepared for fasting individuals who are willing to fast, in which drugs are taken between the İftar and Suhur times, and patients can safely fast without any additional risk to their disease.

BackgroundCalliSpheres are drug‐eluting beads used for tumor artery embolization, with clinical benefits in a number of cancer types. The aim of the study was to examine the clinical benefits and complications of patients with stage II–IV lung cancer treated with CalliSpheres drug‐eluting beads for embolization versus conventional vascular interventional treatment.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted from August 2018 to May 2019. The patients were grouped according to traditional bronchial arterial infusion chemotherapy (infusion group) or bronchial arterial chemoembolization with CalliSpheres drug‐eluting beads loaded with adriamycin (CallisSphere group). Short‐term effects, serum tumor markers, and adverse reactions during follow‐up were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere were 60 participants enrolled into the study with 30 in each group including 54 men and six women, 42–78 years of age. In the CalliSphere group, compared with the infusion group, the disease control rate was 93.3% versus 73.3% (P = 0.080) and the objective remission rate (ORR) was 86.7% versus 60.0% (P = 0.039); the three‐ and six‐month progression‐free survival (PFS) and six‐month overall survival (OS) were better in the CalliSphere group (three‐month PFS: 96.7% vs. 73.3%, P = 0.026; six‐month PFS: 87.5% vs. 57.1%, P = 0.045; six‐month OS: 87.5% vs. 52.7%, P = 0.024); after treatment, the tumor markers in the CalliSphere group were lower (CEA: P < 0.001; CYFRA21‐1: P = 0.014). There were no differences in adverse reactions between the two groups.ConclusionsThe clinical effect of bronchial arterial chemoembolization with drug‐eluting beads on lung cancer is probably significant and could improve the short‐term response, PFS, and OS in patients with stage IIIV lung cancer, without increasing severe adverse reactions.Key pointsSignificant findings of the studyThe clinical effect of bronchial arterial chemoembolization with drug‐eluting beads on lung cancer is probably significant and could improve the short‐term response, PFS, and OS in patients with stage II–IV lung cancer, without increasing severe adverse reactions.What this study addsThe ORR, PFS, OS was better in the CalliSphere group than that of infusion group; CEA and CYFRA21‐1 were significant lower in CalliSphere group.

AbstractBoth cats and dogs belong to animals with the same type of limb support but have different nature of movement. Despite belonging to digitigrade animals, cats and dogs have a different nature of motion. While moving, the medial joint surface in cats and lateral surface in dogs carry the larger pressure. The aim of the study was to compare the similar surfaces of the cat's and dog's tarsal joint capsule and to detect differences in its histostructure and vascularisation. For the study, we used the capsule of the tarsal joint of five cats and five dogs dissected with accordance to anatomical surfaces. Sections of the capsule joint were stained with haematoxylin–eosin. The sections were examined with a microscope at magnification ×250 and ×400. The statistical analysis of the results was done using Student's t test. During the research, a difference in histostructure and vascularisation of tarsal joint capsule in cats and dogs on respective surfaces were found. The medial surface of the tarsal joint capsule was the most saturated with hemomicrocirculatory bed structures in cats, whereas this was the lateral surface in dogs. The most active metabolic processes also take place in these areas of the joint capsule, which is important to know when prescribing therapeutic procedures and determining an optimal surgical access.

AbstractInsights in the ocular surface microbiome are still at an early stage and many more questions remain unanswered compared with other human‐associated microbial communities. The current knowledge on the human microbiome changed our viewpoint on bacteria and human health and significantly enhanced our understanding of human pathophysiology. Also in ocular medicine, microbiome research might impact treatment. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on ocular microbiome research with a particular focus on potential confounding factors and their effects on microbiome composition. Moreover, we present the ocular surface core microbiome based on current available data and defined it as genera present in almost half of the published control cohorts with a relative abundance of at least 1%.
