Authors: G. Girish , V. Anandakrishnan 
Published: March 2020

Purpose
This study aims to investigate and present the tribological behaviour of recursively friction stir processed 7075 aluminium alloy.

Design/methodology/approach
In this work, aluminium 7075 alloy is friction stir processed recursively by varying the tool rotational speed, traverse speed and the number of passes. Wear pins for testing were extracted from the processed zone and the surfaces were prepared. Wear tests were conducted as per the standard on a pin-on-disc wear testing machine at constant testing conditions and the corresponding tribological properties were analysed. The worn surface and the debris were analysed using a field-emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis and elemental mapping to identify the mode of wear mechanism.

Findings
The experimental results indicate that the specimen fabricated at 1,150 rpm of tool rotation speed and 60 mm/min of traverse speed with 4 passes had the highest wear resistance and the minimum friction coefficient.

Originality/value
This paper details the effect of recursive friction stir processing on the surface of AA 7075 to improve the tribological properties.

The moderating role of environmental munificence on innovativeness in B2B markets
Authors: Gul Misra Cagla 
Published: March 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the relationship between two business orientations, namely, entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation, and innovativeness taking into account the moderating influence of environmental munificence.Design/methodology/approachThis is a multiple respondent quantitative study. A total of 312 marketing managers middle level and above from 79 firms participated in the survey. Multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression was the method of choice for data analysis.FindingsFindings indicate that environmental munificence moderates the entrepreneurial orientation – innovativeness relationship. Findings reveal that even though a significant impact of entrepreneurial orientation is not present on innovativeness, this insignificance may be due to environmental munificence. Market orientation has a direct positive impact on innovativeness, and environmental munificence negatively moderates this relationship suggesting that when the environment is less munificent, the market orientation – innovation link becomes stronger.Practical implicationsManagers should be aware that the more munificent an environment becomes, having an entrepreneurial orientation will be more important for innovativeness. In addition, results of this study suggest that being market oriented more strongly impacts a firm’s ability to innovate in non-munificent environments where growth opportunities are undesirable.Originality/valueThis study is unique in that it is a multi-respondent study with respondents from different layers of each participating organization, incorporating the moderating impact of the business environment’s munificence on business orientations–innovativeness relationship.
Enhancing customer-linking marketing capabilities using marketing analytics
Authors: Cao Guangming , Tian Na 
Published: March 2020

PurposeEvidence in the literature has indicated that customer-linking marketing capabilities such as customer relationship management (CRM) and brand management are important drivers of marketing performance and that marketing analytics use (MAU) enables firms to gain valuable knowledge and insights for improving firm performance. However, there has been little focus on how firms improve their CRM and brand management via MAU. This study aims to draw on the absorptive capacity theory, research on marketing capabilities and marketing analytics to examine the capability-developing mechanisms that enable a firm to use marketing analytics to enhance its CRM and brand management capabilities, thereby improving its marketing performance.Design/methodology/approachA research model is developed and tested based on an analysis of 289 responses collected using an online survey from middle and senior managers of Chinese firms with sufficient knowledge and experience in using marketing analytics for survey participation.FindingsThe findings demonstrate that MAU is positively related to both CRM and brand management capabilities, which in turn are positively associated with marketing performance; and that both CRM and brand management capabilities mediate the relationship between MAU and marketing performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe study’s outcomes were based on data collected from a survey, which was distributed using mass e-mails. Thus, the study is unable to provide a meaningful response rate. The research results are based on and limited to Chinese firms.Practical implicationsMAU is essential for enhancing customer-linking marketing capabilities such as CRM and brand management, but it alone is not sufficient to improve marketing performance. Firms wishing to improve marketing performance should leverage the knowledge and insights gained from MAU to enhance their critical customer-linking marketing capabilities.Originality/valueThis study explicates the capability-developing mechanisms through which a firm can use its market-sensing capability as manifested by MAU to enhance customer-linking marketing capabilities and to improve its marketing performance. In so doing, this study extends our understanding of the critical role of absorptive capacity in helping firms identify, assimilate, transform and apply valuable external knowledge.

Published: March 2020

PurposeThe paper represents a starting point of a broader research project in strategic start-up communication. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the current state of research in this area and to compare those insights with an explorative study on the start-up ecosystem.Design/methodology/approachA neo-institutional framework is combined with the dual narrative framework of strategic communication and emergence to explain the emergence of strategic communication in this organizational field (start-up ecosystems). Research questions are derived from a systematic literature review and subjected to exploratory testing in two different qualitative surveys, with experts and investors, reflecting an external perspective, and with start-ups themselves.FindingsResults from the literature review and the explorative interviews with expert external actors indicate eight areas in which start-ups face strategic communication challenges: the basic orientation of strategic communication, branding, external image, stakeholder relations, allocation of financial resources, owner centricity, human resources and internal communication. External consultants and funders recommend highly planned approaches like target group-oriented communication, well thought-out positioning with uniform messages and precisely applied communication channels. However, the internal perspective of start-ups presents a contrary picture based on emergent products of strategic communication.Research limitations/implicationsThe study indicates the importance of both the emergence in strategic start-up communication and the demonstration of planned strategic communication. Investigating a whole start-up ecosystem in a country regarding the emergence of strategic communication forms, practices and products offers potential for cross-country comparative research.Practical implicationsThe findings indicate key challenges of strategic communication of start-ups. Bearing in mind these key challenges when founding a start-up can make a difference in the success of the start-up.Originality/valueThe article presents the first systematic literature review in the area of strategic start-up communication and a theoretical framework for further investigation. Moreover, the results of the explorative study demonstrate the importance of the different forms of planning and emergence in strategic start-up communication. Hence, this paper provides practical implications for practitioners working and investing in the start-up ecosystem.

Authors: Asefi Ahmadali , Ghanbarpour Nosrati Amir 
Published: March 2020

PurposeSports facilities can play a vital role in encouraging physical activity and sport. Also, just the distribution of sports facilities is very important for better access to these facilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate spatial justice in the distribution of built outdoor sports facilities in the city of Isfahan, Iran and provide insight for planning in terms of equitable accessibility.Design/methodology/approachAll facilities located in the 15 areas of the city, whether private or public, built for the purpose of physical activity and sports programs were considered in this study (107 cases). To obtain information on the locations of the outdoor sports facilities, Isfahan Atlas data, which has been compiled by Isfahan Municipality was used. Arc geographic information systems environment and its different algorithms were also used to perform different calculations and prepare maps.FindingsThe results indicated the unfair distribution of built outdoor sports facilities in the city of Isfahan in terms of spatial justice based on the number of built outdoor sports facilities in each area, the population, land area, population density and the spatial pattern of the facilities.Practical implicationsIn this regard, urban authorities and sport managers should make an effort to decrease or obviate inequity in access to outdoor sports facilities for the purpose of promoting participation in physical activity and sport and providing residents with numerous other benefits.Originality/valueThis paper has concluded that spatial justice in the distribution of built outdoor sports facilities for the improvement of access to these facilities is very important.
Implementing innovative customer due diligence: proposal for universal model
Authors: Shust Pavel M. , Dostov Victor 
Published: March 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the identification-verification-confirmation of identity (IVCid) model that can be used to retroactively analyze the existing customer identification programs and devise new ones that can be used in face-to-face or non-face-to-face environment.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper outlines the main elements of the customer due diligence (CDD) process and identifies those which may present a barrier to the customers. It then outlines the IVCid model. The model is used to analyze existing CDD approaches in physical presence, using reliable databases, biometrics and electronic signatures.

Findings
The IVCid model suggests that any customer identification program contains three elements: identification (collection of information), verification (checking the veracity of information) and confirmation of identity (linking the information to the individual). The accuracy of this model is confirmed by the analysis of the existing CDD procedures in some countries.

Research limitations/implications
This paper looks at a limited number of practical cases of CDD implementation. Further research might be needed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of biometric-based or e-signature-based solutions. Research might be needed to establish links between the IVCid model and financial inclusion.

Practical implications
The IVCid model allows for “modular” approach for the CDD procedures. It also underlines some risks associated with current CDD models.

Social implications
The IVCid model can be used to devise the CDD procedures that more effectively contribute to financial inclusion.

Originality/value
This paper proposes the first universal model for the CDD procedures that works for both face-to-face and remote scenarios while also being technology- and business-neutral.
The impact of augmented reality on overall service satisfaction in elaborate servicescapes
Authors: Gäthke Jana 
Published: March 2020

PurposeArtificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to facilitate service provision and forms the basis for various smart services, such as augmented reality (AR) apps. The purpose of this study is to investigate the guiding help of an AR app in elaborate servicescapes, which typically constitute complex environments. The study examines how an AR guidance app impacts service evaluation.Design/methodology/approachThis research conducted a field experiment during a trade fair. It employed a two-group between-subjects design (AR app vs traditional 2D map) in order to examine how guidance through complex environments affects overall service satisfaction. Hypotheses were tested through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), moderated regression, and PROCESS.FindingsThe results reveal that an AR app compared to a traditional 2D map leads to significantly higher overall service satisfaction. This relationship is mediated by perceived complexity reduction. Moreover, perceived behavioral control acts as a moderator. Further, the usage of an AR app tends to improve customer loyalty.Practical implicationsManagers learn whether it is worthwhile to employ AR apps in elaborate service environments as well as how to implement them.Originality/valueBy conducting a field experiment and examining a concrete AI-based smart service (i.e. an AR app), this research adds to the AI literature, which has been mostly conceptual, and contributes to the underexamined field of elaborate servicescapes.
Effect of network embeddedness on innovation performance of small and medium-sized enterprises
Authors: Dogbe Courage Simon Kofi , Tian Hongyun , Pomegbe Wisdom Wise Kwabla , Sarsah Sampson Ato , Otoo Charles Oduro Acheampong 
Published: March 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify if network embeddedness and innovation performance relationship, which has been largely studied in multinational enterprises (MNEs) and large corporations, was also applicable in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Secondly, the authors also sought to identify the moderating role of innovation openness in the relationship between network embeddedness and SMEs' innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical analysis was based on 388 SMEs in Ghana. Various validity and reliability checks were conducted before the presentation of the actual analysis, which was conducted using the structural equation modeling in Amos (v.23).FindingsFindings revealed that, in the context of SMEs, network embeddedness had significant positive effect on innovation performance. The authors further identified that SMEs with both high levels of network embeddedness and innovation openness had a much higher performance in their innovation, compared to SMEs that relied solely on network embeddedness.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study found innovation openness to further strengthen the relationship between network embeddedness and SMEs' innovation performance. The relationship between network embedded and SME's innovation could, however, be mediated by knowledge transfer mechanisms, so future studies should pay particular attention to the mediating mechanisms.Practical implicationsManagement of SMEs is advised to develop conducive organizational structures, such as trust, openness to collaboration and so on, for effective innovative knowledge transfer and transformation.Originality/valuePast research studies on network embeddedness and innovation performance have dominantly resided in MNE and large corporations. This current study extends the body of knowledge by extending the network embeddedness and innovation performance research studies to SME context.
Tuna trade‐offs: Balancing profit and social benefits in one of the world’s largest fisheries
Authors: Willis Ciara , Bailey Megan 
Published: March 2020

AbstractThe western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) tuna fishery is one of the world's largest in terms of both catch volume and value, providing over half of global tuna catch with a landed value of US $5.84 billion in 2017. Fishing is conducted by both large‐ and small‐scale fleets, with fisheries subsidies disproportionately benefiting the former. The primary objective of this study was to determine the optimal distribution of effort between two large‐scale fisheries (LSF) and two small‐scale fisheries (SSF) in the WCPO under three scenarios: to maximize industry benefits, minimize subsidization or maximize food supply. The objective was approached using a bioeconomic game‐theoretic model. Results indicate opposite distributions of effort to maximize industry benefits (all fishing conducted by LSF) or to minimize subsidization (all fishing by SSF), with more balanced effort distributions to maximize food supply. Total value of capacity‐enhancing subsidies in optimal scenarios ranged from $1.4 billion when industry benefits were maximized to $0.2 billion when subsidization was minimized. Investigation of suboptimal scenarios reveals the flexibility of these results, with wide ranges in outputted state variables for a given goal. Difficulty was encountered in modelling the SSF sector due to data deficiencies, a well‐recognized issue in managing SSF. Investments towards “data equity” to help ensure that management decision‐making can properly account for the SSF sector would be useful. This study has implications for the objectives we set in fisheries management, and the potential trade‐offs, often value‐driven in nature, that we must make explicit in that management.

AbstractAlthough small‐scale fisheries (SSF) play an important socio‐economic role in developing nations, overfishing seems to be increasing the risk of stock vulnerability. This study aims to quantify the pressure of SSF on fish stocks in Sunda Strait (Indonesia) using several biological indicators that are important in quantifying fishing pressure. Data on these indicators were collected monthly for three years (2012–2014) in one of the main fishing ports of the area. The results provide evidence that, although SSF would appear to be the most environmentally sustainable of all the fishing techniques being used today in the coastal waters of Indonesia, the impact of SSF fishing on juvenile fishes in certain areas such as the Sunda Strait must not be underestimated. The results also show the need to protect immature fish of species that are not only commercialised but are also important in subsistence fisheries. Although further studies are needed to assess the impact of SSF on fish stocks in the area, it is suggested management recommendations that include the implementation of marine‐protected areas in nursery grounds and establishing minimum landing sizes well above the size‐at‐maturity for each species, are needed.
Behavioral Therapy Preferences in People With Migraine
Authors: Minen Mia T. , Jalloh Adama , Begasse de Dhaem Olivia , Seng Elizabeth K. 
Published: March 2020

BackgroundThere are safe and well‐tolerated level A evidence‐based behavioral therapies for the prevention of migraine. They are biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relaxation. However, the behavioral therapies for the prevention of migraine are underutilized.ObjectivesWe sought to examine whether people with migraine with 4 or more headache days a month had preferences regarding the type of delivery of the behavioral therapy (in‐person, smartphone based, telephone) and whether they would be willing to pay for in‐person behavioral therapy. We also sought to determine the predictors of likelihood to pursue the behavioral therapy.MethodsUsing a cross‐sectional study design, we developed an online survey using TurkPrime, an online survey platform, to assess how likely TurkPrime participants who screened positive for migraine using the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention screen were to pursue different delivery methods of the behavioral therapy. We report descriptive statistics and quantitative analyses.ResultsThere were 401 participants. Median age was 34 [IQR: 29, 41] years. More than two thirds of participants (70.3%, 282/401) were women. Median number of headache days/ month was 5 [IQR: 2.83, 8.5]. Some (12.5%, 50/401) used evidence‐based behavioral therapy for migraine. The participants reported that they were “somewhat likely” to pursue in‐person or smartphone behavioral therapy and behavioral therapy covered by insurance but were neutral about pursuing the telephone‐based behavioral therapy. Participants were “not very likely” to pay out of pocket for the behavioral therapy. Migraine‐related disability as measured by the MIDAS grading score was associated with likelihood to pursue the behavioral therapy in‐person (P = .004), via telephone (P = .015), and via smart phone (P < .001), and covered by insurance (P = .001). However, migraine‐related disability was not associated with likelihood to pursue out of pocket (P = .769) behavioral therapy. Pain intensity was predictive of likelihood of pursuing the behavioral therapy for migraine when covered by insurance. Other factors including education, employment, and headache days were not predictors.ConclusionPeople with migraine prefer in‐person and smartphone‐based behavioral therapy to telephone‐based behavioral therapy. Migraine‐related disability is associated with likelihood to pursue the behavioral therapy (independent of type of delivery of the behavioral therapy‐in‐person, telephone based or smartphone based). However, participants were not very likely to pay for the behavioral therapy.
REDISTRIBUTION AND FISCAL UNCERTAINTY SHOCKS
Authors: Saijo Hikaru 
Published: March 2020

AbstractThis article studies the impact of fiscal uncertainty shocks. In micro data, noncapital holders reduce consumption persistently in response to an increase in fiscal uncertainty whereas capital holders do not. Motivated by this evidence, I introduce limited capital market participation and show that it magnifies the fall in economic activity due to a fiscal uncertainty shock and induces macroeconomic comovement. This is because the limited participation model captures individual uncertainty about redistribution. When agents are ambiguity averse, this uncertainty about redistribution has first‐order effects. As a result, the model successfully matches the empirical responses of macro and household variables.
