The impact of nostalgic emotion on brand trust and brand attachment
Authors: Wen Tao , Qin Tong , Liu Raymond R. 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to make up the deficiency of theoretical research in nostalgic marketing and is helpful for the original theories of brand marketing and experiential marketing to deepen further.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses the approach of the empirical study. Based on the literature review, a theoretical model of the impact of nostalgic emotion (NE) on brand trust and brand attachment is constructed and corresponding research hypotheses are proposed. Then nostalgia-themed restaurants are selected to complete a questionnaire survey, and SPSS22.0 and LISREL8.70 are used for data analysis and hypothesis testing.

Findings
The results of the paper show that NE consists of four dimensions in the context of China: atmosphere nostalgia, interpersonal nostalgia, family nostalgia and personal nostalgia. Among these, NE has a significant positive impact on brand trust and brand attachment; further, brand trust has a significant positive impact on brand attachment and plays a partial mediating role in the impact of NE on the latter.

Research limitations/implications
As the nostalgic restaurant industry is the research object, the theoretical model described here may be limited to this specific industry. The potential applicability of the theoretical model to other service industries requires further study.

Practical implications
The results of the paper are helpful in building a good nostalgic experience, increasing consumer trust in restaurant brands, and strengthening the connection between NE and restaurant brand reconstruction.

Social implications
The results of the paper on the impact of NE on brand trust and brand attachment provide a referential basis and guide for services’ companies (e.g. restaurants) to revitalize the services’ brands.

Originality/value
The first contribution is that NE scale is constructed for the nostalgia-themed restaurants. The second contribution is that the paper reveals the mechanism of the impact of NE on brand trust and brand attachment.

Authors: Chiu Weisheng , Cho Heetae 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of perceived brand leadership of an e-commerce website on satisfaction and repurchase intention. Moreover, the different roles of gender and age were explored in the proposed model.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was administered to Chinese consumers (n=476) who have purchased products on e-commerce websites. Using SmartPLS 3.0 software, a partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis was conducted in this study.FindingsThe results showed that all factors of perceived brand leadership (i.e. quality, value, innovativeness and popularity) have positive influences on satisfaction, and in turn satisfaction significantly affects repurchase intention. Also, value and popularity have positive influences on repurchase intention. In addition, gender differences were found in the proposed model. More specifically, the influence of quality on satisfaction was stronger for male consumers, while the impact of popularity on satisfaction was stronger for female. In terms of age differences, the influence of quality on satisfaction was stronger for the consumers over 40 years old as compared to the younger consumers (i.e. the 20s). Moreover, the influence of innovativeness on satisfaction and repurchase intention was stronger for the 20s consumers as compared to the consumers who are over 40 years old.Originality/valueThis study attempts to apply the concept of brand leadership to the e-commerce setting by addressing differential consumption decision-making process. In addition, different gender and age groups reveal unique preferences and consumption patterns.

Authors: Thi Mai Anh Nguyen , Hui Lei , Khoa Vu Dinh , Mehmood Sultan 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between relational capital and supply chain collaboration (SCC) and how this relationship relates to innovation. The authors propose a theoretical framework to illustrate the effect of relational capital on three dimensions of collaboration and radical and incremental innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe paper has a quantitative approach. The authors conducted the survey to collect the data from 225 suppliers in the Hunan province of China. The proposed model is tested with exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling.FindingsThe findings show that relational capital can facilitate information sharing and benefit/risk sharing when firms work together to achieve innovation. Furthermore, the results indicate that relational capital leads to radical innovation through facilitating information sharing among firms and helps in generating incremental innovation by encouraging firms to share risks and benefits with their partners.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study give some suggestions for managers of the firms in terms of building their collaborative strategies. Managers should exploit relational capital to build successful and long-term collaboration. Also, through relational capital, managers can share information to create radical innovation or pool risks and share benefits with their customers to achieve incremental innovation.Originality/valueThis study provides a nuanced understanding of the relationship between relational capital, different dimensions of SCC and innovation in the context of a developing economy. Moreover, the findings provide a clearer understanding of the collaborative mechanism of relational capital and collaboration to achieve radical and incremental innovation.
E­commerce structures for retail and service franchises
Authors: Kremez Zhanna , Frazer Lorelle , Weaven Scott , Quach Sara 
Published: May 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth investigation of e-commerce strategy implementation in mature franchise organisations from both franchisor and franchisee perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThis research employed a multiple case study method where the e-commerce strategies of two mature franchise organisations were investigated in depth. Franchising experts were interviewed to provide an additional dimension to this study.FindingsThis research found that e-commerce must be integrated with the overall business strategy for optimal franchise performance. Since all parties to the franchising relationship are affected by the introduction of e-commerce, both the franchisees’ and the franchisor’s interests must be considered when the strategy is being developed. In addition, the consumer’s perspective is central to how e-commerce is structured, and franchisees are best placed to know their customers’ needs because they are directly involved in operating their business and interfacing with customers.Practical implicationsA preliminary model for e-commerce structures in service and retail franchising has been developed that depends on the nature of the business, the distribution arrangements and the order fulfilment arrangements. The two main avenues in e-commerce structuring were centralisation and decentralisation.Originality/valueThis study contributes to knowledge through an in-depth investigation of the internal process of e-commerce implementation in franchise networks from both franchisor and franchisee perspectives.
Dynamic capabilities of logistics service providers: antecedents and performance implications
Authors: Chen Ivy S.N. , Fung Patrick K.O. , Yuen Simon S.M. 
Published: May 2019

PurposeDynamic capabilities (DC) have been linked to firm competitive advantage, but the ways in which firms can create and build these DC are still not clear. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model with organizational learning (OL) and supply chain orientation (SCO) as antecedents of dynamic logistics capabilities and firm performance as the outcome. The study tests this model on a sample of logistics service firms.Design/methodology/approachPartial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected from 103 logistics firms drawn from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transportation of Hong Kong.FindingsResults show that OL directly enhances DC and indirectly through SCO. The relationship between OL and SCO is stronger than the relationship between OL and DC. DC are positively related to logistics firm performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe study relied on perceptual and self-reported data from senior management. Relationships among variables may also be inflated by common method variance but efforts were taken to reduce this threat.Practical implicationsLogistics firms should promote a learning culture in the organization. Organization learning enhances a firm’s willingness to change and innovate. It also helps employees to gain a better understanding of clients’ supply chains and possibilities. SCO helps the firm to direct its reconfiguration and renewal efforts where the returns are the highest.Originality/valueThere is scant empirical research on the antecedents of DC outside of manufacturing and knowledge-intensive services. The study focused on the logistics services industry. SCO, a necessary strategic orientation for firms in the supply chain, has not been empirically investigated in the previous research. This study addressed these gaps in the literature and contributes to the understanding of the factors giving rise to DC.
Homogenization of multi-turn coil with elliptic cross-section using complex permeability
Authors: Fujita Shogo , Igarashi Hajime 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The tensor complex permeability of a multi-turn coil with elliptic cross-section is analytically expressed. In field analysis, a multi-turn coil can be modeled by the uniform material that has the present tensor complex permeability. It is shown that the frequency characteristic of the present tensor complex permeability is in good agreement with that evaluated by finite element method applied to a unit cell of the multi-turn coil region.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors introduce a new method to evaluate the complex permeability of a multi-turn rectangular coil. To obtain the complex permeability of a rectangular coil in a closed form, it is approximated as an elliptic coil. Because the rectangular coil has different complex permeabilities in the vertical and horizontal directions, the complex permeability have to be defined in a tensor form. It suffices to discretize the coil region into rather coarse finite elements without considering the skin depth in contrast to the conventional finite element method.

Findings
The proposed method is shown to give the impedance of multi-turn coils which is in good agreement with results obtained by the conventional finite element (FE) analysis. By extending the proposed approach, the authors can easily perform 3D FE analysis without difficulty in discretization of the coil region with fairly fine finite elements. Moreover, they found that the approximation of rectangular coils as the elliptic coils is valid for analysis of quasi-static fields using this homogenization method.

Originality/value
The novelty of this study is in the approximation of the rectangular coils with elliptic coils, and the complex permeability for them is formulated here in a closed form. The proposed formula includes that for the round coils. Using the present method, the authors analyze the rectangular coils without fine discretization.
High-frequency displacement current transformer with just one winding
Authors: Achour Yahia , Starzyński Jacek 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to describe a new concept of transformer based on the displacement current. The paper shows how this idea can be translated into reality and presents an example of a working design.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors replace the primary winding of the transformer with a capacitor. The displacement current between the capacitor plates induces a magnetic flux in the core. This flux in turn induces electromotive force in the classical secondary winding.

Findings
The basic mathematical aspects illustrated by results obtained from a simulation developed using a commercial software ANSYS-HFSS are given. The saturation of the magnetic core due to the applied high-frequency range is investigated and simulated using a finite difference time domain code implemented in MATLAB. A prototype transformer was built and tested; the obtained results confirm the previous ones from simulations.

Originality/value
A new concept of the single winding transformer was used as a pulse forming circuit.
Analysis of the field monitoring data on soil movements and adjacent building settlement due to shield tunnelling
Authors: Ding Zhi , Wei Xinjiang , Zhang Xiao , Yin Xinsheng 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The shield tunnels closely constructed near the foundations have an inevitable influence on the structures, even results in the large settlement or uplift of the structures.

Design/methodology/approach
The comparison of structural deformation of three different foundations is presented based on the field monitoring data.

Findings
Shield tunnelling parameters vary for the different types of foundations. For the long pile foundations, the recommended speed is 3 to 4 cm/min, the grouting pressure is about 0.3 MPa and the grouting rate ranges from 150 to 180.

Originality/value
The study based on the field monitoring data is rarely reported, especially the topic about the structural deformation of different types of the foundations.
A kinematic approach for error modelling in drilling
Authors: Polini Wilma , Corrado Andrea 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to model how geometric errors of a machined surface (or manufacturing errors) are related to locators’ error, workpiece form error and machine tool volumetric error. A kinematic model is presented that puts into relationship the locator error, the workpiece form deviations and the machine tool volumetric error.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper presents a general and systematic approach for geometric error modelling in drilling because of the geometric errors of locators positioning, of workpiece datum surface and of machine tool. The model can be implemented in four steps: (1) calculation of the deviation in the workpiece reference frame because of deviations of locator positions; (2) evaluation of the deviation in the workpiece reference frame owing to form deviations in the datum surfaces of the workpiece; (3) formulation of the volumetric error of the machine tool; and (4) combination of those three models.

Findings
The advantage of this approach lies in that it enables the source errors affecting the drilling accuracy to be explicitly separated, thereby providing designers and/or field engineers with an informative guideline for accuracy improvement through suitable measures, i.e. component tolerancing in design, machining and so on. Two typical drilling operations are taken as examples to illustrate the generality and effectiveness of this approach.

Research limitations/implications
Some source errors, such as the dynamic behaviour of the machine tool, are not taken into consideration, which will be modelled in practical applications.

Practical implications
The proposed kinematic model may be set by means of experimental tests, concerning the industrial specific application, to identify the values of the model parameters, such as standard deviation of the machine tool axes positioning and rotational errors. Then, it may be easily used to foresee the location deviation of a single or a pattern of holes.

Originality/value
The approaches present in the literature aim to model only one or at most two sources of machining error, such as fixturing, machine tool or workpiece datum. This paper goes beyond the state of the art because it considers the locator errors together with the form deviation on the datum surface into contact with the locators and, then, the volumetric error of the machine tool.
APRT-FMEA buffer sizing method in scheduling of a wind farm construction project
Authors: Zohrehvandi Shakib , Khalilzadeh Mohammad 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient model for project buffer sizing by taking failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) into account to reach a more realistic schedule.

Design/methodology/approach
In the first phase of the project, several turbines were installed according to the primary schedule with an average duration of 142 days. Then, some of critical chain project management algorithms were separately applied in the implementation and installation of the other wind turbines. The adaptive procedure with resource tightness (APRT) method turned out to be the best method in terms of obtaining a more realistic schedule in this case study. Finally, FMEA was simultaneously applied with APRT.

Findings
Applying the hybrid method to the scheduling of the wind turbines, yielded the more realistic schedule than traditional.

Research limitations/implications
The proposed hybrid APRT-FMEA algorithm was implemented on a real wind farm construction project which was completed with 37 percent shorter duration than the initial estimation; in spite of the initial estimation of 142 days, the project completed in 103 days.

Practical implications
Introducing and implementing a new algorithm which is a combination of buffer sizing algorithms and one of the well-known and mostly used risk assessment methods in order to provide the more realistic project schedule in the construction of wind turbines.

Originality/value
Introducing and implementing a novel algorithm which is a combination of conventional buffer sizing method and one of the efficient risk assessment methods in order to make the schedule more realistic.
Evaluating the preventability of conflicts arising from change occurrence in construction projects
Authors: Charkhakan Mohammad Hadi , Heravi Gholamreza 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
Although several studies have evaluated effective factors for conflict occurrence, researchers have developed few methods of determining preventive capacities and determining preventive measures on the basis of an analysis of chain of risks that cause conflict. The purpose of this paper is to devise a mechanism for conflict prevention by evaluating chain of risks that cause conflict and different conflict types.

Design/methodology/approach
Efforts centered on facilitating the prevention conflicts through analyzing the effects of chain of risks on change causes, decomposing the mixture of conflict types in each conflict and determining the contribution of each conflict type to conflict creation.

Findings
The paper expands the existing body of knowledge on conflict management through the determination of complex relationships, namely, the relationship between conflict causes and project parties and the coherence between project parties and conflict types.

Originality/value
A practical example is analyzed to demonstrate the proposed approach capabilities. The results showed that using the developed approach to determine conflict type can serve as a means of control in projects and the developed approach can be incorporated into construction contracts as a conflict resolution mechanism. This paper presents an understanding of complex relationships among the chain of risks which cause conflict, the important players in conflict management process and different conflict types. It also provides a basis to select an effective management method for each conflict.
The impacts of intra-organizational structural elements on supply chain integration
Authors: Zhang Yanming , Zhao Xiande , Huo Baofeng 
Published: May 2019

PurposeFollowing resource-based view, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of three intra-organizational structural elements on supply chain integration (SCI).Design/methodology/approachBased on data collected from ten countries, this study employs the structural equation modeling method to test the proposed model.FindingsThe results demonstrate that teamwork culture is positively related to three dimensions of SCI. Organizational commitment has positive effects on internal and customer integration (CI), whereas it has no significant effect on supplier integration (SI). Human goodness is only positively related to internal integration, but has no significant effect on SI or CI.Originality/valueThis study contributes to both structural elements literature and SCI enabler literature by operationalizing three human-related components of structural elements and empirically investigating relationships between intra-organizational structural elements and SCI.
Care coordination in the health-care service delivery: an elderly care perspective
Authors: Srivastava Shefali , Prakash Gyan 
Published: May 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between patient-centricity, care coordination and delivery of quality care for older people with multiple chronic conditions. Care coordination is defined as a process where physicians, nurses and allied professionals work together to clarify responsibilities, care objectives, treatment plans and discharge plans for delivery of unified care. Patient-centricity is defined as an approach of delivering quality care to patients that focuses on creating a positive experience for them.

Design/methodology/approach
A literature review was used to identify measures of care coordination and then partial least square structural equation modeling was used to assess interrelationship among patient-centricity, measures of care coordination and delivery of quality care.

Findings
Results reveal that care coordinated pathways consist of IT-enabled coordination, interprofessional teamwork, information sharing and facilitative infrastructure requirements and are influenced by patient-centricity. These are deliberate requisites for delivering of quality care. Results of this study present a validated model of care coordination for older people, which may be further explored to refine the concept of care coordination.

Practical implications
Based on these results, practitioners may develop an overarching strategy to deliver seamless care and to achieve better health outcomes. Measures of care coordination may be used as a performance benchmarking tool and will also help in the process mapping of hospitals.

Social implications
This paper highlights how patient-centricity may be achieved by focusing on coordinated care processes. This understanding may help in designing processes, which in turn deliver health as a social good in an effective manner.

Originality/value
Results of this study present such a validated model for care coordination, which can be used by researchers.
