Joining the dots? Tackling child exploitation during Covid-19
Authors: Racher Anna , Brodie Isabelle 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to report on findings from action research undertaken in response to the Covid-19 pandemic by the Tackling Child Exploitation Support Programme (TCESP), a Department for Education funded programme that provides support to local areas in improving their strategic approach to child exploitation and extra-familial harm.

Design/methodology/approach
The research included a scoping review of the literature, and focus groups with programme staff, strategic leaders and professionals from different services across England. To provide a strategic lens, findings were then considered in relation to TCE’s “Joining the dots” framework, which encourages examination of the relationships between different forms of child exploitation.

Findings
The action research highlighted the emerging and tentative nature of the knowledge base relating to child exploitation and extra-familial harm in the context of Covid-19. Findings revealed that there had been innovation in the use of digital methods and direct working, integration of practical support with other forms of service delivery and in partnership working, and also considerable variation in approach across different local areas.

Practical implications
Strategic leaders need to use the evidence emerging from lockdown as a basis for further interrogation of emerging data alongside the views of young people, families and communities and their wider workforce. This includes new information about changing patterns of exploitation. Digital delivery and innovation need to be supported by clear strategic guidance, based on review of the evidence regarding increased digital communication and its impact. New partnerships developed between services, data sharing and innovative ways of working that have taken place during lockdown need to be monitored and evaluated for quality and impact.

Originality/value
The action research findings offer a snapshot of practice regarding child exploitation and extra-familial harm at a mid-point in the Covid-19 lockdown in England and Wales.
Innovative startups in Italy. Managerial challenges of knowledge spillovers effects on employment generation
Authors: Barboza Gustavo , Capocchi Alessandro 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the impact of knowledge spillover effects (KSE) on employment levels using a sample of 245 Italian Innovative startup companies created as a result of the legislative changes of Law Decree 179/12 introduced in Italy in 2012.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a parsimonious model with the employment level as the dependent variable. The paper tests for the impact that the measures of industry competition, specialization and diversity have on the level of employment in the Innovative Startup sector in Italy. The data uses a sample of 245 firms, across 20 geographic regions in Italy for three economic sectors at the 2-Dig NAICS classification.

Findings
The empirical results provide evidence in favor of regional specialization as the main force to create and transfer knowledge resulting in increased employment; while higher levels of competition and a more diverse regional production bases result in lower firm employment levels. Employment levels for these firms are also time-dependent, and thus mainly determined at the time of the firm’s creation. This study also found a lack of technological convergence across regions, that are inherent regional differences are not bridged by knowledge spillover effects.

Research limitations/implications
This paper is based on a sample of Italian Innovative Startups and consequently, further research with a potentially larger sample and, perhaps, a sample across countries could also shed some light on the issues relating to KSE and their effects on employment generation and firm formation.

Practical implications
From a practical point of view, the results indicate that regional disparity and limited transmission of KSE across regions remain an impediment to the flow of knowledge. This in turn may limit the development of entrepreneurial activities and further development of new firms. Practical implications regarding knowledge management indicate that firms face time and spatial challenges when developing, transferring and acquiring knowledge. In sum, the evidence points out in favor of existent and persistent regional heterogeneity in terms of economic and technological specialization as sources of employment.

Originality/value
This research adds to the empirical evidence focusing on the effects of knowledge spillover effects in the Innovative Startup segment of the economy. This research highlights the applicability of knowledge spillover effects accounting for levels of industry competition, specialization and diversity. We also provide a measure of cluster formation and concentration at the sectoral and regional levels. Thus, the research provides a better understanding under which conditions knowledge is more likely to have positive or negative effects on employment generation.

Public libraries on Facebook: content analysis of Turkish public libraries' posts
Authors: Çakmak Tolga , Eroğlu Şahika 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThe study aims to analyze the posts shared by public libraries in Turkey on their official Facebook pages. The targets of the study are to detect content categories shared by the libraries and to describe user interaction of libraries on the basis of their posted content.Design/methodology/approachThe study examined data relating to 23,027 posts shared by 116 public libraries through descriptive and content analyses. The content analysis on the posts identified general topic and sub-topics through both machine-tagging and checks by the authors. Turkish word parsing applications and stop lists were employed in the designation of sub-categories. In this process, word clusters were identified to allow for the designation of sub-topic headings through the use of the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) technique.FindingsThe present study identified that a significant portion of the 116 public libraries in Turkey with official Facebook pages had started to use this platform in the year 2017. According to the findings, the user interaction of libraries generally occurs in the form of likes. Analyses on the topic categories of the posts established that a remarkable number of public libraries in Turkey targeted users from pre-school children to young adults.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the existing body of literature as one of the first research studies describing the current situation concerning public libraries in Turkey through the analysis of the content they generate on Facebook pages.
How do you change the world? The role of working condition in quest for excellence in quality education: evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Ashraf Mohammad Ali 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between quality education and human resource management practices of faculty supervisor’s support, job autonomy and working condition in the private universities. Specifically, how does the working atmosphere in the private universities in Bangladesh play a mediating role in the links between faculty supervisory support and job autonomy toward excelling quality education?Design/methodology/approachTo answer this question, a theoretical framework using the strategic contingency theory as its basis was established. Data (n= 515) were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings of the study indicate that faculty supervisor’s support and working condition have significant positive relations with quality education and the working condition has an important mediating role in the links between supervisor’s support, job autonomy and quality education in the private universities in Bangladesh.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, the study used faculty as respondents from only 19 private universities in Bangladesh where more than 100 universities are in active operation at present. Second, the study included only top-ranking private universities and ignored other low-grade local private universities ranked by the university grant commission and they should be included in the study. Third, this study did not include public universities in the survey. Fourth, only two antecedents to the working environment toward quality education were included. Finally, this study collected data only from the faculty of the school of business and economics for examining their opinion.Practical implicationsFrom an academic and practical perspective, as a cumulative body of study on the relationship between different HRM practices and quality education, this paper will be better able to advise concerned authorities of higher education intuitions on the elements they need to address to ensure quality teaching and learning in their institutes.Social implicationsSeveral factors that directly and indirectly influence quality education through pleasant working environments appear to the surface. Thus, to create a vital working condition in private universities, academic leaders or authorities should be aware to make some improvements.Originality/valueThe study reveals a paramount finding that can help academicians and authorities of private higher education institutes.

Authors: Al Dari Taghreed , Jabeen Fauzia , Hussain Matloub , Al Khawaja Dana 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThis study aims to develop a theoretical framework of the impact of clan and hierarchy cultures and knowledge technological capabilities on organizational learning.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 693 employees working in knowledge management centers in various law and enforcement units in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships between the variables.FindingsThe findings show that the clan culture had a significant negative effect on organizational learning. However, hierarchy culture and knowledge technological capabilities had a significant positive impact in predicting organizational learning behavior.Research limitations/implicationsThe study focuses on a specific type of public organization only, which somewhat limits the generalizability of the research results. Second, as the study was cross-sectional, the causal relationships could not be inferred directly. The study results will help policymakers create a learning organization by examining the impact of organizational culture and knowledge of technological capabilities.Originality/valueThis paper has added knowledge about the relationship between culture types, knowledge technological capabilities and organizational learning, particularly in the UAE. This study helps to bridge the gap in research on culture and knowledge technological capabilities and organizational learning.
Analysis of post-processing influence on the geometrical and dimensional accuracy of selective laser melting parts
Authors: Cuesta Eduardo , Alvarez Braulio J. , Zapico Pablo , Giganto Sara 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the effect of the different common post-processes on the geometrical and dimensional accuracy of selective laser melting (SLM) parts.

Design/methodology/approach
An artefact has been designed including cubic features formed by planar surfaces orientated according to the machine axes, covering all the X-Y area of the working space. The artefact has been analyzed both geometrically (flatness, parallelism) and dimensionally (sizes, distances) from coordinate measuring machine measurement results at three stages, namely, as-built, after sand-blasting and after stress-relieving heat treatment.

Findings
Results from the SLM machine used in this study lead to smaller parts than the nominal ones. This effect depends on the direction of the evaluated dimension of the parts, i.e. X, Y or Z direction and is differently affected by the sandblasting post-process (average erosion ratio of 68, 54 and 9 µm, respectively), being practically unaltered by the HT applied after.

Originality/value
This paper shows the influence, from a geometric and dimensional point of view, of two of the most common post-processes used after producing SLM parts, such as sand-blasting and stress-relieving heat treatment, that have not been considered in previous research.

Authors: Mele Mattia , Campana Giampaolo , Pisaneschi Gregorio , Monti Gian Luca 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
Multi jet fusion is an industrial additive manufacturing technology characterised by high building speed and considerable properties of the parts. The cooling phase represents a crucial step to determine productivity, since it can take up to 4.5 times the building time. The purpose of this paper is to investigate into effects of cooling rate on parts manufactured by multi jet fusion. Crystallinity, density, distortions and mechanical properties of specimens produced through an HP multi jet fusion 4200 are examined.

Design/methodology/approach
An experimental activity is carried out on specimens cooled down at three different rates. Properties of the parts are analysed by means of differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, three-dimensional scanning and tensile testing.

Originality/value
The present work makes a contribution to the body of knowledge providing correlations between the cooling phase of multi jet fusion and part properties. These results can be used to choose the right balance between production time and product quality.
No child is an island: from attachment narratives towards a sense of belonging
Authors: Vermeire Sabine 
Published: October 2020

AbstractChildren and young people who have experienced violence, abuse or neglect run the risk of becoming insulated from their family, carers and the broader communities they belong to. They often present problematic behaviour and may get diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder or are seen as insecurely attached. Despite all the efforts made by the people involved, feelings of alienation can increase. Drawing upon the rich literature on attachment, we therapeutically elaborate ideas that run counter to such isolating tendencies. A systemic approach to theoretical concepts of attachment such as ‘a sense of personal and relational agency’, ‘a sense of coherence’ and ‘a sense of belonging’ opens up therapeutic possibilities. A thoughtful use of playfulness and narrative methods in work with children, their families, their carers and wider networks facilitates new ways of relating: we talk and do attachment in ever widening circles. This is illustrated by a case study.Practitioner pointsA systemic take on difficult attachment behaviour opens up new therapeutic possibilities, especially when using narrative ideas and playfulnessCreating a safe place allows children and their carers to co‐research difficulties and start to talk and ‘do’ attachment, in ever widening circlesBy continually involving different actors, professional as well as nonprofessional, teams of solidarity and care are created
Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Resource Extraction: Evidence from China*
Authors: Ge Weili , Li Zining , Liu Qiliang , McVay Sarah 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACTWe examine whether the strength of internal control over financial reporting (internal control) reduces the expropriation of resources from the firm by managers and controlling shareholders. Although we have ample evidence from prior literature that internal controls reduce errors in financial reports, it is less clear that they can curb resource extraction, because management may fail to enforce these controls. Exploiting the setting of China, where we have a rich internal control data set and established measures of resource extraction, we provide evidence consistent with internal controls curbing resource extraction on average. In particular, we document a negative association between internal control strength and resource extraction. We also find that the association between internal control strength and resource extraction is weaker in settings where we expect management to have fewer incentives to enforce these controls: within state‐owned firms and within non‐state‐owned firms that have a powerful controlling shareholder. We interpret these results as suggesting that internal controls must both exist and be enforced by management for the controls to safeguard assets. Although the analyses are conducted using Chinese data, we expect the spirit of our findings to generalize to other settings—management can “window dress” internal control procedures while still engaging in undesirable behavior.
Controlling Shareholders' Tax Incentives and Classification Shifting*
Authors: Chung Heesun , Choi Sunhwa , Jung Woon‐Oh 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACTAlthough prior studies provide evidence on the financial reporting incentives to inflate core earnings through classification shifting (e.g., shifting core expenses to income‐decreasing noncore items), few examine the tax‐related incentive to report lower core earnings through classification shifting. We examine the effect of controlling shareholders' tax incentives on firms' classification shifting using the introduction of a tax law in Korea that imposes a gift tax on controlling shareholders based on firms' reported core earnings. This tax law creates incentives for managers to report lower core earnings through classification shifting, even though doing so would incur significant financial reporting costs. Using a difference‐in‐differences research design, we find that firms with controlling shareholders subject to the gift tax exhibit a significant decline in classification shifting in the post‐tax period, while those not subject to the tax do not. We also predict and find that the extent to which managers reduce classification shifting decreases with financial reporting costs and increases with the tax benefits. Overall, our results indicate that firms forgo financial reporting benefits associated with reporting higher core earnings for the tax savings of their controlling shareholders.
Revealing Oz: Institutional Work Shaping Auditors' National Office Consultations*
Authors: Aghazadeh Sanaz , Dodgson Mary Kate , Kang Yoon Ju , Peytcheva Marietta 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACTNational office consultations (NOCs) are a mechanism intended to enhance audit quality, consistent with the logic of professionalism inherent in the audit profession. Yet research indicates that the competing logic of commercialism has become institutionalized in audit firms. We examine how the coexisting and conflicting logics of professionalism and commercialism manifest themselves in the current NOC dynamic. Specifically, we interview 22 highly experienced Big 4 audit firm partners to investigate how key actors engage in institutional work that creates, maintains, and disrupts the influence of professionalism and commercialism in NOC practices. We observe a swing of the pendulum: in the wake of SOX, audit firms adopted professionalism‐based practices which involved creating a more authoritative, “Oz”‐like national office identity, while in recent years key actors' institutional work reconfigured NOC practices and placed a renewed focus on commercialism. Our findings bring to light a number of implications that offer opportunities for future research. Although the new client‐inclusive culture aims to improve audit outcomes by encouraging consultations and fostering open dialogue with clients, it also exposes the national office to relationship‐management pressures and client‐service demands. Thus, practices developed to uphold professionalism also created a channel for commercialism‐focused practices, leading to unintended second‐order effects.
