Authors: Manta Francesco , Campobasso Francesco , Tarulli Annunziata , Morrone Domenico 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe aim of this study is to verify, through Hofstede's 6-D model, the impact of national culture on the implementation of eco-labeling activities on the supplier side, in order to provide consumers information about the sustainable behavior adopted by firms.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested the impact of culture dimensions through an econometric model, on a sample composed by several countries of the world, in which at least a food certification is in force.FindingsInteresting results have been obtained and discussed, proving the existence of a relationship between culture and corporate sustainability showcasing. Cultural heritage has a deep influence on sustainable consumption demand. Firms need to put more effort to showcase their green behavior. Economic indicators have a role in fostering sustainable behavior.Originality/valueFood labeling is little explored, despite its growing importance for consumers. This research is a window in green marketing issues, specifically in global branding strategies.
Work ethic and information security behavior
Authors: Ramakrishnan Thiagarajan , Hite Dwight M. , Schuessler Joseph H. , Prybutok Victor 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
Information security is a growing issue that impacts organizations in virtually all industries, and data breaches impact millions of customers and cost organizations millions of dollars. Within the past several years alone, huge data breaches have been experienced by organizations such as Marriot, Equifax, eBay, JP Morgan Chase, Home Depot, Target and Yahoo, the latter of which impacted three billion users. This study aims to examine the utilization of pre-employment screening to identify potential hires that may require enhanced information security training to avoid such costs.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors hypothesize that an individual’s work ethic predicts a person’s information security behavior. The authors test this hypothesis using structural equation modeling with bootstrapping techniques.

Findings
Data analysis suggests that certain dimensions of work ethic do indeed predict information security posture, and thus, simple pre-employment screening techniques (i.e. questionnaires) can aid in identifying potential security threats.

Practical implications
The findings provide a tool for identifying problematic employee security posture prior to hiring, which may be useful in identifying training needs for new hires.

Originality/value
The findings provide a tool for identifying problematic employee security posture prior to hiring, which may be useful in identifying training needs for new hires.
Educating towards the prudent entrepreneurial self – an educational journey including agency and social awareness to handle the unknown
Authors: Hägg Gustav , Jones Colin 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis paper explores the idea of the prudent entrepreneurial self, through re-conceptualizing prudence into the domain of entrepreneurial education, to unite the two processes of becoming enterprising and entrepreneurial. It is argued that developing a capacity for prudence among graduates involves past, present and conjecture forms of knowledge that the authors find in the interplay between individuation and social awareness.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on Palmer's idea of wholeness, the authors discuss six poles of paradoxes in entrepreneurial education and in conjunction establish a philosophical argument for the idea of stimulating the development of prudence as fundamentally important to contemporary notions of entrepreneurial education.FindingsThe paper presents a model to develop a schema that moves students towards becoming prudent entrepreneurial selves. The model rests on two interrelated developmental processes – individuation and social awareness – conditional for developing the three forms of knowledge (past, present and conjecture) that makes up prudence where developing prudence is a means to handle or cope with the unknown.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper argues that for enterprise and entrepreneurship education to realize their potential contributions, both the relationships between each field and the overarching purpose that ties the fields together need to be rethought, and the poles of paradoxes need to be connected to further develop both fields and creating wholeness for the emerging scholarly discipline.Practical implicationsTo educate towards the prudent entrepreneurial self means educating towards an unknown end where student development aims to meet both the objectives of individual development and the growth in social awareness required to handle the changing nature of contemporary society.Originality/valueThis study philosophically conceives a united enterprise and entrepreneurship education landscape in which deeper student learning makes possible the notion of the prudent entrepreneurial self.
Empathy or perceived credibility? An empirical study of Muslim donating behaviour through online charitable crowdfunding in Indonesia
Authors: Kasri Rahmatina Awaliah , Indriani Esmeralda 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to analyse the factors influencing Indonesian Muslims’ donation behaviour through online charitable donation-based crowdfunding.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses the stimulus-organism-response framework, with technological characteristics, campaign characteristics and religiosity as the stimulus; empathy, perceived credibility and quality of relationship as the organism; and intention to donate as the response variables. In analysing the data, it used the structural equation modelling approach with the partial least squares method. The study involved 405 Muslim respondents who have donated through the largest online charitable crowdfunding platform in Indonesia.

Findings
The main findings suggest that empathy and perceived credibility are key determinants influencing the intention to donate through crowdfunding. Both factors are subsequently affected by initiator reputation, campaign popularity, content quality, transaction convenience and website quality. Such intention also goes hand in hand with the improved quality of relationships between the organisation and the donors, subsequently influenced by their religiosity.

Practical implications
The main findings imply that fundraising campaigns and technology’s characteristics play a significant role in the intention to donate. Such findings are expected to enhance understanding of individuals’ philanthropic behaviour in Indonesia and to suggest appropriate operational strategies to facilitate individuals’ donation behaviour in charitable crowdfunding.

Originality/value
Despite the high potential of charitable crowdfunding, studies regarding the factors influencing charitable donations made through such organisations remain scarce. This study contributes to the literature by taking the case of the largest online charitable crowdfunding platform in Indonesia.
Exploring students digital activities and performances through their activities logged in learning management system using educational data mining approach
Authors: Bessadok Adel , Abouzinadah Ehab , Rabie Osama 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the students’ digital activities and their academic performance through two stages. In the first stage, students’ digital activities were studied and clustered based on the attributes of their activity log of learning management system (LMS) data set. In the second stage, the significance of the relationship between these profiles and the associated academic performance was tested statistically.

Design/methodology/approach
The LMS delivers E-learning courses and keeps track of the students’ activities. Investigating these students’ digital activities became a real challenge. The diversity of students’ involvement in the learning process was proven through the LMS which characterize students’ specific profiles. The Educational Data Mining (EDM) approach was used to discover students’ learning profiles and associated academic performances, where the activity log file exemplified their activities hosted in the LMS. The sample study data is from an undergraduate e-course hosted on the platform of Blackboard LMS offered at a Saudi University during the first semester of the 2019–2020 academic year. The chosen undergraduate course had 25 sections, and the students attending came from science, technology, engineering and math background.

Findings
Results show three clusters based on the digital activities of the students. The correlation test shows the statistical significance and proves the effect of the student’s profile on his academic performance. The data analysis shows that students with different profiles can still get similar academic performance using LMS.

Originality/value
This empirical study emphasizes the importance of the EDM approach using clustering techniques which can help the instructor understand how students use the provided LMS content to learn and then can deliver them the best educational experience.
The aftermath of a brand transgression: the role of brand forgiveness and brand evangelism
Authors: Nobi Benjamin , Kim Kyung-Min , Lee Sangwon 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to examine how brand transgression (BT) affects brand relationship quality (BRQ). Brand forgiveness (BF) and brand evangelism (BE) are tested as mediators between BT and BRQ. This study advances knowledge in consumer behavior by showing how consumers offer to deal with their relationships with brands through BE and BF. This provides relevant information to managers to seek strategies to obtain forgiveness from consumers in case the unfortunate happens. Not only must they seek to obtain forgiveness but also seek ways to ensure BE of their brands. These act as buffers for the brands in case a transgression happens.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a survey approach, this study tests whether forgiveness mediated the relationship between BT and BRQ. Also, whether BE mediated the relationship between BT and BRQ was examined. The test was conducted using PROCESS bootstrapping method (Model 4 of Hayes [2018]).

Findings
Consistent with the predictions, this study finds that, following a BT, consumers engage in BE and BF to maintain the relationship they have already established with their brands.

Originality/value
This study extends the existing literature by showing that after a BT, response from consumers may take different forms. The consumer’s response or the relationship with the brand may be affected by whether the consumer forgives the brand or evangelizes about the brand. Based on the cognitive dissonance theory, the results of this study imply that, forgiveness and BE act as important mechanisms in understanding consumer-brand relationships after brands act unacceptably. Further, this study contributes to the social media brand management literature by investigating a real-world BT case of social media.
Small firm coopetition – the missing links: coopetitive tension, balance and value
Authors: Letcher Brett , de Villiers Scheepers Margarietha , Graham Wayne 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explore small firm perceptions of coopetition, focusing on coopetitive tension, balance and value appropriation realised in dyadic relationships, not considered holistically in previous research.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use seven cases of small firms as the empirical foundation of this study and analysed data thematically.

Findings
The findings show that precursors to coopetitive tension in dyads influence friction in these relationships, as firms seek to achieve balance. Balance is dynamic as firms continuously appraise their positions to determine the benefits realised from coopetition. The extent to which firms act cooperatively or competitively is influenced by their perception of fair value appropriation for sustained coopetitive relationships.

Research limitations/implications
Because of the research design findings are not generalisable but provide insight into small firm coopetitive relational dynamics. Future research should explore how industry differences influence firms’ perceived precursors to coopetitive tension and value appropriation based on boundary conditions.

Practical implications
Small firms can proactively address coopetitive tension by developing relationships with potential partner firms through trialling smaller projects and increasing awareness of how their competitive or cooperative behaviours might influence the actions of their counterpart.

Originality/value
This study advances a theoretical framework integrating coopetitive tension, balance and value appropriation, as opposed to earlier fragmented approaches. The framework reveals that precursors to coopetitive tension are continuously appraised as firms act in cooperative or competitive ways. These interactions imply that firms will take a position of balance that provides complementary benefits.
Price extremes and asymmetric dependence structures in stock returns: the emerging market evidence
Authors: Thazhungal Govindan Nair Saji 
Published: December 2021

PurposeEquity research in experimental psychology reveals investors' overreactions to bad news events. This study of asymmetric price structures in equity markets investigates whether such behavior predicts stock returns in an emerging market of India.Design/methodology/approachThe research decomposes Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex returns into Extremely Positive Returns (EPR) and Extremely Negative Returns (ENR) based on extreme values at first and then tests their lead–lag relations.FindingsThe empirical finding is consistent with the existing evidence of asymmetric news effects on stock returns in India. In precise, ENR robustly predicts one-month-ahead EPR for the sample period from January 1991 to March 2020. This predictive power persists even in the presence of popular valuation ratios and business cycle variables.Practical implicationsThe paper explains the rationale of extreme value modeling in price forecasting. Investors can find additional utility gains from market cycle information while predicting extreme returns in Indian stock market.Originality/valueThe paper is unique to understand business cycle effects in extreme return reversals in emerging markets.
Investigating the validity of the agricultural-induced environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for Ghana: evidence from an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach with a structural break

Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine the validity of the agriculture-induced environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis with evidence from an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach with a structural break including real income and energy consumption in the model for Ghana over the period 1980–2014.Design/methodology/approachThe ARDL approach with a structural break was used to analyze the agriculture-induced EKC model which has not been studied in Ghana. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) econometric methods were further used to validate the robustness of the estimates, and the direction of the relationship between the study variables was also clarified using the Toda–Yamamoto Granger causality test.FindingsThe ARDL results revealed that GDP, energy consumption and agricultural value added have significant positive effects on CO2emissions, while GDP2reduces CO2emissions. The Toda-Yamamoto causality test results show a bidirectional causality running from GDP and energy consumption to CO2emissions whereas a unidirectional long-term causality runs from GDP2and agriculture value-added to CO2emissions.Practical implicationsThis finding validated the presence of the agriculture-induced EKC hypothesis in Ghana in both the short run and long run, and the important role of agriculture and energy consumption in economic growth was confirmed by the respective bidirectional and unidirectional causal relationships between the two variables and GDP. Thus, a reduction in unsustainable agricultural practices is recommended through specific policies to strengthen institutional quality in Ghana for a paradigm shift from rudimentary technology to modern sustainable agrarian technologies.Originality/valueThis study is novel in the EKC literature in Ghana, as no study has yet been done on agriculture-induced EKC in Ghana, and the other EKC studies also failed to account for structural breaks which have been done by this study. This study further includes a causality analysis to examine the direction of the relationship which the few EKC studies in Ghana failed to address. Finally, dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods are used for robustness check, unlike other studies with single methodologies.
Primary cicatricial alopecia: Recent advances in evaluation and diagnosis based on trichoscopic and histopathological observation, including overlapping and specific features
Authors: Uchiyama Masaki 
Published: December 2021

AbstractPrimary cicatricial alopecia (PCA) is a form of alopecia in which inflammatory cells target follicles, including the bulge region containing follicular stem cells, leading to permanent alopecia. New classifications of PCA subtypes have recently been proposed, including those that account for novel trichoscopic and histopathological features of PCA, enabling greater precision in the evaluation and diagnosis of this condition. Nonetheless, diagnosis remains challenging clinically and histopathologically because the etiology of PCA is multifactorial. Inconsistent use of terminology, overlapping disease concepts, and changes in the clinical or histopathological severity of inflammation in the disease course in the same patient also make diagnosis quite challenging. The present study comprehensively reviews recent progress in diagnostic techniques, including the use of clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features, in evaluating each PCA subtype, containing overlapping and specific features. Elucidating the features of PCA, including those that are common to multiple subtypes as well as specific to each in both early and advanced‐stage lesions, is important for accurate diagnosis. Improving the evaluation and treatment of this disease depends on having a broader clinical understanding that takes into account not only the features of the disease at a given point in time, but also the changes that occur during the entire disease course.

AbstractAzathioprine (AZA) is the preferred immunosuppressant for treating pemphigus vulgaris (PV), with discontinuation mainly attributed to hematological adverse events (AE). Reportedly, nucleoside diphosphate‐linked moiety X‐type motif 15 (NUDT15) polymorphisms have been strongly associated with thiopurine‐induced leukopenia. To investigate hematological AE of low‐dose AZA based on NUDT15 genotypes among patients with PV, a prospective cohort study was conducted in patients with PV, followed‐up for the first 8 weeks after AZA administration. All patients were divided into wild homozygous and heterozygous NUDT15 groups. Both groups initiated AZA at low dose (50 mg/day) and continued with different dose‐escalating approaches. Bone marrow suppression was considered the principal outcome. Overall, 62 patients with PV were enrolled (48 in the wild homozygous NUDT15 group vs. 14 in the heterozygous NUDT15 group). Except for median maintenance doses of AZA, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age, sex, white blood cells, neutrophil count, platelet count, hemoglobin level, median final doses of corticosteroids (mg prednisone equivalent), pemphigus disease area index, and anti‐desmoglein 1/3 autoantibodies. In both groups, patients presented similar hematological AE and treatment responses after administration of different low‐dose AZA treatment strategies. Low‐dose AZA based on NUDT15 genotypes can reduce the risk of early hematological AE among patients with PV.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAimPrevious studies have shown that silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) expression is elevated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, whether gene polymorphisms in SIRT1 gene associated with RA in a Chinese Han population remains to be discussed.MethodIn this case‐control study, 529 RA patients and 700 healthy controls were selected, and association of 11 SIRT1 gene polymorphisms (rs12415800, rs3740051, rs932658, rs3740053, rs7895833, rs10509291, rs33957861, rs7069102, rs2273773, rs3818292, rs1467568) with RA susceptibility was evaluated.ResultsFrequency of GA+GG genotype of rs3740051 in RA patients was significantly lower than that in healthy controls (P = .037). Frequencies of GC and GC+GG genotypes of rs7069102 were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (P = .036,P = .047). Frequencies of GA and GA+GG genotypes of rs1467568 were lower in RA patients as compared to those in healthy controls (P = .011,P = .013). For rs2273773, RA patients who carried the T allele had higher number of tender joints than patients who carried the C allele (P = .033). Other polymorphisms did not associate with RA risk.ConclusionThe findings suggest that rs3740051, rs7069102 and rs1467568 variants in SIRT1 gene are related to RA susceptibility in a Chinese Han population.
Market‐expanding or Market‐stealing? Competition with network effects in bike‐sharing
Authors: Cao Guangyu , Jin Ginger Zhe , Weng Xi , Zhou Li‐An 
Published: December 2021

AbstractUsing staggered entry of two dockless bike‐sharing firms, we study whether the entrant expands or steals the market from the incumbent in 59 cities. Compared with 23 cities without entry, the entry helps the incumbent to serve more trips, make more bike investment, achieve higher revenue per trip, improve bike utilization, and form a wider and more dispersed network. The market‐expanding effect on new users dominates a significant market‐stealing effect on old users. These findings, plus a theory that highlights consumer search and network effects, suggest that a market with positive network effects and multihoming users is not necessarily winner‐takes‐all.
