Use of sodium metabisulfite and ascorbic acid as anti-browning agents in processed potatoes
Authors: do Nascimento Revenli Fernanda , Canteri Maria Helene Giovanetti 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of sodium metabisulfite (SMB) and ascorbic acid (AA) either alone or in combination as anti-browning agents in industrially processed potatoes.

Design/methodology/approach
The experiment was carried out in the production line of an agricultural industry located in the state of Paraná, Brazil, testing the following chemical treatments in the immersion process of the potatoes: T1 (control, without additives), T2 (0.5 percent AA), T3 (0.5 percent SMB), T4 (0.5 percent SMB + 0.5 percent AA) and T5 (0.25 percent SMB + 0.25 percent AA). The statistical significance of the difference between chemical treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) and storage periods (1, 5, 10 and 15 days) was evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Additionally, multifactorial ANOVA was carried out in a 22 factorial experimental design with 3 central points to estimate the influence of independent variables on the results. The analyses performed on the samples of the different treatments were total soluble solids content, pH, total titratable acidity, instrumental color and browning index.

Findings
The tested antioxidants did not affect the content of total soluble solids and total titratable acidity but significantly influenced the pH, color and browning index. The treatment T3, containing only SMB (0.5 percent m/v), and the treatment T5, a combination of SMB (0.25 percent m/v) and AA (0.25 percent m/v), were the most effective in the controlling the browning reaction. In these treatments, the formation of brown color in potatoes after cooked was significantly reduced (p<0.05) using relatively lower concentration of antioxidants.

Originality/value
The novelty of the research is focused on reducing the use of chemical agents to control the browning of the processed potatoes (peeled, steamed, sterilized and vacuum packed) ready for consumption and widely marketed. During processing of this commercial potato, the tissue damage caused by mechanical processes, as well as the heat treatment employed during cooking, induces the development of enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning reactions. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the influence of industrially employed chemical agents in order to maintain the quality of this product, with stable color and the lowest possible concentration of additives. The reduction of chemical additives offers viable solutions to many of the problems the Sustainable Development Goals are meant to tackle, as they ensure healthy lives, availability and sustainable management of water and promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization.
Robustness evaluation of CSMM based finite element for simulation of shear critical hollow RC bridge piers
Authors: Polimeru Vijay Kumar , Laskar Arghadeep 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two-dimensional (2D) cyclic softened membrane model (CSMM)-based non-linear finite element (NLFE) model in predicting the complete non-linear response of shear critical bridge piers (with walls having aspect ratios greater than 2.5) under combined axial and reversed cyclic uniaxial bending loads. The effectiveness of the 2D CSMM-based NLFE model has been compared with the widely used one-dimensional (1D) fiber-based NLFE models.Design/methodology/approachThree reinforced concrete (RC) hollow rectangular bridge piers tested under reversed cyclic uniaxial bending and sustained axial loads at the National Centre for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) Taiwan have been simulated using both 1D and 2D models in the present study. The non-linear behavior of the bridge piers has been studied through various parameters such as hysteretic loops, energy dissipation, residual drift, yield load and corresponding drift, peak load and corresponding drift, ultimate loads, ductility, specimen stiffness and critical strains in concrete and steel. The results obtained from CSMM-based NLFE model have been critically compared with the test results and results obtained from the 1D fiber-based NLFE models.FindingsIt has been observed from the analysis results that both 1D and 2D simulation models performed well in predicting the response of flexure critical bridge pier. However, in the case of shear critical bridge piers, predictions from 2D CSMM-based NLFE simulation model are more accurate. It has, thus, been concluded that CSMM-based NLFE model is more accurate and robust to simulate the complete non-linear behavior of shear critical RC hollow rectangular bridge piers.Originality/valueIn this study, a novel attempt has been made to provide a rational and robust FE model for analyzing shear critical hollow RC bridge piers (with walls having aspect ratios greater than 2.5).
Defining the undefinable: an analysis of definitions of community archives
Authors: Welland Sarah , Cossham Amanda 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to explore definitions and notions of what a community archive is, and the tensions between different understandings of community archives.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is a critical analysis of community archives definitions and understanding from researchers and practitioners across the wider heritage information sector.FindingsCommunity archives are a growing area of interest for researchers because of the archives’ intrinsic link to the community and their provision of the evidence of it. While discussion often focuses on a paradigm of transformative purpose, existing definitions around community archives continue to be tenuous, reflecting different real or perceived types and practices and the perspective of the author and the sector they work within. Variations in definition can also occur because of differences in perspective around theory and practice, with many practitioner-based definitions intrinsically bound with the community they represent. This can result in community archives being defined as “alternative” based on mainstream practice or “political” based on theoretical purview, or “meeting the needs of community” by the community archivists themselves.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is conceptual and does not attempt to provide one definition that covers the perceived extent of community archives. It is part of work in progress on the nature of community archives and the impact such discourse may have on archival theory and practice.Originality/valueThis paper provides an overview of some of the key issues and themes impacting a definition of community archives, and in doing so works towards a broader understanding the nature of community archives. In most cases, the concept of “community” seems to provide a common definitive element and practitioner definitions focus on addressing the needs of self-defined community to a greater or lesser extent.
ISPH method for MHD double-diffusive natural convection of a nanofluid within cavity containing open pipes
Authors: Raizah Zehba A.S. , M. Aly Abdelraheem 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to adopt incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method for studying magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) double-diffusive natural convection from an inner open pipe in a cavity filled with a nanofluid.

Design/methodology/approach
The Lagrangian description of the governing equations was solved using the current ISPH method. The effects of two pipe shapes as a straight pipe and V-pipe, length of the pipe LPipe (0.2-0.8), length of V-pipe LV (0.04-0.32), Hartmann parameter Ha (40-120), solid volume fraction ϕ (0-0.1) and Lewis number Le (1-50) on the heat and mass transfer of nanofluid have been investigated.

Findings
The results demonstrate that the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are increased by increment on the straight-pipe length, V-pipe length, Hartmann parameter, solid volume fraction and Lewis number. In addition, the variation on the open pipe shapes gives a suitable choice for enhancement heat and mass transfer inside the cavity. The control parameters of the open pipes can enhance the heat and mass transfer inside a cavity. In addition, the variation on the open pipe shapes gives a suitable choice for enhancement heat and mass transfer inside the cavity.

Originality/value
ISPH method is developed to study the MHD double-diffusive natural convection from the novel shapes of the inner heated open pipes inside a cavity including straight-pipe and V-pipe shapes.
Automated data-driven profiling: threats for group privacy
Authors: Mavriki Paola , Karyda Maria 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
User profiling with big data raises significant issues regarding privacy. Privacy studies typically focus on individual privacy; however, in the era of big data analytics, users are also targeted as members of specific groups, thus challenging their collective privacy with unidentified implications. Overall, this paper aims to argue that in the age of big data, there is a need to consider the collective aspects of privacy as well and to develop new ways of calculating privacy risks and identify privacy threats that emerge.

Design/methodology/approach
Focusing on a collective level, the authors conducted an extensive literature review related to information privacy and concepts of social identity. They also examined numerous automated data-driven profiling techniques analyzing at the same time the involved privacy issues for groups.

Findings
This paper identifies privacy threats for collective entities that stem from data-driven profiling, and it argues that privacy-preserving mechanisms are required to protect the privacy interests of groups as entities, independently of the interests of their individual members. Moreover, this paper concludes that collective privacy threats may be different from threats for individuals when they are not members of a group.

Originality/value
Although research evidence indicates that in the age of big data privacy as a collective issue is becoming increasingly important, the pluralist character of privacy has not yet been adequately explored. This paper contributes to filling this gap and provides new insights with regard to threats for group privacy and their impact on collective entities and society.
New institutional economics: contributions to international business studies
Authors: Silva-Rêgo Bernardo Frossard , Figueira Ariane Roder 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main contributions of the new institutional economics to the international business (IB) arena. It also intends to show how the NIE is being incorporated to both eclectic paradigm and Uppsala school’s view, and how it is modifying them.

Design/methodology/approach
A range of IB articles, which contained an institutional view and also discussed the eclectic paradigm or the Uppsala school, provides the background to build a framework.

Findings
This paper proposes a framework showing the impact of the institutional variables on the internationalization of firms, by addressing both the OLI paradigm and Uppsala school. It also concludes that the institutional theory has been a point of intersection between the OLI paradigm and Uppsala school, since both have been renewed to understand the transaction costs borne by the firms in their international learning process and in the search for less asymmetrical information.

Research limitations/implications
This paper provided a brief discussion about the institutional components.

Practical implications
This study is a useful source of information for those who want to discuss the institutional impact in the IB arena and emerging markets.

Originality/value
This paper summarizes how the OLI paradigm and Uppsala school encompassed the institutional variables. It also presents a framework that allows new study possibilities since the understanding of the influence of institutional variables on the international movements of firms is still cloudy.
Productivity growth and job reallocation in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector
Authors: Khac Minh Nguyen , Lan Phung Mai , Khanh Pham Van 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to measure TFP growth and job reallocation in the Vietnamese manufacturing industry after the Doimoi period.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses firm-level panel data from Vietnam’s annual enterprise survey data for 2000–2016 period in the Vietnamese manufacturing industry using Olley–Pakes static and dynamic productivity decomposition methods.

Findings
The aggregate productivity estimated from the WRDG method increased 2.323 percent, of which over 40 percent is due to the reallocation toward more productive firms. Olley–Pakes dynamic decomposition according to ownership, scale and industry shows that the contribution of private and state-owned firms and the contribution of small and medium firms and large firms to the TFP growth are 133, −33 percent, 58.56 and 41.44 percent, respectively. The within-firm productivity and net entry components are the main reasons for TFP growth rather than reallocation. The results show that the composition of the aggregate TFPs, estimated from WRDG, OP, LP and ACF, is correlated very high (over 80 percent) except for net entry components.

Research limitations/implications
The major limitation of this study is that the authors compute an aggregate productivity index using actual employment-based shares (still misallocation in labor), rather than optimal employment-based shares (no misallocation in labor).

Originality/value
Job reallocation between industries is attracting attention in developing countries, especially transition economies. However, knowledge about job reallocation among industries is limited. This paper assesses the level of job reallocation among private and state-owned firms, small and medium firms and large firms in Vietnam.
Spiritual development in executive coaching
Authors: Allen Stuart , Fry Louis W. 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
Spiritual topics emerge in executive leadership coaching. However, the scholarly literature has emphasized the performance development aspects of executive coaching (EC) more than the development of executives’ inner lives, although there is some evidence of practitioners addressing spiritual topics. Executive leaders have spiritual needs and executive coaches may be well positioned to address the intersection of the leaders’ work and spiritual lives, provided coaches observe skill boundaries and the limitations of the coaching context. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the merits of including spiritual development (SDev) in EC and how executive coaches can incorporate it in their practice.

Design/methodology/approach
EC, SDev and spiritual direction are compared, drawing attention to conflicting and complementary aspects of SDev applied in EC. Organizations’, clients’ and coaches’ likely concerns about such integration are explored and addressed. Suitable contexts, principles, a basic developmental framework and practical steps for executive coaches considering the inclusion of SDev in EC are proposed.

Findings
The paper provides coaches, consultants, executives and those charged with executive development with a foundational understanding of the role of SDev in EC.

Originality/value
A framework is provided for professionals involved in executive management development to address executive leaders’ spiritual needs through EC.
Networks and alliances – business schools’ answer to mergers and acquisitions?
Authors: Pon Kevin , Duncan Anne-Laure 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the state of French medium sized business schools in the Grandes Ecole sector of education and how networks and alliances help business schools survive in an ever-changing and global environment.

Design/methodology/approach
The material for empirical research for this paper was gathered by using a case study method of four small to medium sized provincial Institutions of Management Education in France.

Findings
The paper demonstrates that all of the business schools studied rely on networks and alliances to face globalisation and internationalise their strategy and seems to follow the three typologies of mergers and acquisitions set down by Napier (1989): extension mergers, collaborative mergers and redesign mergers. At present, the networks and alliances are used on a marginal or peripheral way by networking only a part of the institution at one time.

Research limitations/implications
Further research at a later date needs to be carried out in order to observe if the pattern will remain or if there may be networks which will start from the core of the institution since the organisations will in the future have more of an international or global culture.

Originality/value
The value of this paper is to demonstrate that medium-sized business schools can compensate their limited resources and compete in the global education market. Alliances and networks appear as key ways in achieving goals of sustainability and survival.

The paper is original and based on primary research.
Charities’ new non-financial reporting requirements: preparers’ insights
Authors: Hooks Jill , Stent Warwick 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to obtain insights from preparers on the new Performance Report requirements for New Zealand registered Tiers 3 and 4 charities, in particular the non-financial information included in the ‘Entity Information’ section and the ‘Statement of Service Performance’.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 interviewees, each involved with governance and reporting of one or more Tiers 3- or 4-registered charities. These interviews were analysed in terms of accountability and legitimacy objectives, which motivated the regulators to introduce the new reporting regime.FindingsKey findings are summarised under three themes. Manageability relates to perceptions and suggestions regarding implementation of the new requirements. Scepticism concerns some doubts raised by interviewees regarding the motivations for performance reports and the extent to which they will be used. Effects include concerns about potentially losing good charities and volunteers because of new requirements making their work ‘too hard’, although an increased focus on outcomes creates the potential for continuous improvement.Research limitations/implicationsThe subjectivity that is inherent in thematic analysis is acknowledged and also that multiple themes may sometimes be present in the sentences and paragraphs analysed. The authors acknowledge too that early viewpoints may change over time.Practical implicationsThemes identified may assist regulators, professional bodies and support groups to respond to the views of preparers. Findings will also be of interest to parties in other jurisdictions who are considering the implementation of similar initiatives.Originality/valueThis paper provides early insights on new reporting requirements entailing significant changes for New Zealand registered charities for financial periods beginning on or after April 2015. The focus is on small registered charities (97 per cent of all New Zealand registered charities) and key aspects of the Performance Report: Entity Information and the Statement of Service Performance.
Pacific Market: invest, sell, or stay the same?
Authors: Gilinsky Jr Armand , Mallon Julia , Santana Adele 
Published: November 2019

Theoretical basisThis case should be paired with textbook chapters that cover the important roles of leadership, staffing and corporate culture in the strategy implementation effort. The case can also be used to review textbook chapters covering competitive and industry analysis, differentiation strategies, goal setting and financial analysis. In advanced courses, readings on leadership and corporate social responsibility should be assigned to inform debates regarding Vasu’s style and his commitment to creating shared value. Alternatively, instructors in retail management courses could assign readings that investigate the linkages of human resource management, service quality and other behaviors to optimal supermarket performance.Research methodologyThe authors revised this case and Teaching Noes from an MBA student case writing project in Fall 2017. The student conducted focus groups with Pacific Market’s consumers, worked with Vasu and his consultant, Tom Scott, a former CEO of a local grocery chain, supplemented with secondary industry research and demographic information about the cities of Sebastopol and Santa Rosa. Meetings to develop the company mission statement and long-term goals took place over Fall 2017. Tom provided the operating information and trade area analysis used in the case, and Vasu provided financial statements and background information.Case overview/synopsisAfter a career as a turnaround specialist for Silicon Valley high-tech startups, Vasudev Narayanan (Vasu) acquired Pacific Market, a two-store chain in Sonoma County, California, in 2013. By Fall 2017, rival local chains had expanded, online vendors threatened in-store shopping, the Amazon-Whole Foods combination threatened disruption, and consumers increasingly insisted on “buying local.” Vasu aimed to grow revenues 50 percent by 2020, and fund Good Karma Foundation, a charity in his native India. Strategies to achieve these objectives included infrastructure investments, employee profit sharing, changing the mix of products and amenities or finding a buyer for the operation.Complexity academic levelThe Pacific Market case is intended for undergraduate or MBA-level strategic management courses. The case pairs well with coverage of how leaders approach the strategy implementation effort, a topic typically introduced toward the end of the course. The case gives students practice in applying strategy formulation concepts and frameworks, e.g. PESTEL analysis, Porter’s industry forces, key industry drivers, strategic group mapping, SWOT analysis, corporate social responsibility and financial ratio analysis. Instructors might also use this case to cover similar material in retail management courses. The case is highly suitable as a written assignment for an examination and/or for team presentations.
