Men and their groomed body
Authors: Liu Chihling 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
This study aims to offer insights into the embodied concerns that underpin men’s personal grooming practices through which they experience their body as the “existential ground of culture and self” and manage their everyday bodily presentation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study analyses 16 interviews with male consumers of age between 20 and 76. The interpretative analysis is informed by both Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the body-subject and the sociology of the body as discursively constituted.

Findings
This study proposes four bodily identity positions that link individual personal grooming practices to specific embodied concerns. These bodily identity positions underline the different ways the male body is called upon to carve out a meaningful existence.

Research limitations/implications
The research findings are not intended to generalise or to be exhaustive. Rather, it is hoped that they may stimulate readers to think more deeply about the role of the body in aiding male consumers to seek maximum grip on their life-world.

Practical implications
The study findings provide marketers with rich narratives for brand positioning and image development beyond the traditional sexual and/or alpha male-themed marketing and advertising. They also offer preliminary insights for mental health practitioners into how the male body shapes men’s identity development and experiences of well-being.

Originality/value
The study identifies the different ways personal grooming can become assimilated into an individual’s system of beliefs and practices. It also offers empirical support for a definition of the body as active and acted upon, especially with respect to male grooming.
The role of marketing capability in linking CSR to corporate financial performance
Authors: Yim Sean , Bae Young Han , Lim Hyunwoo , Kwon JaeHwan 
Published: April 2019

PurposeThe authors use signaling theory in proposing a conceptual framework that simultaneously incorporates both the mediating effects of corporate reputation (CR) and the moderating effects of marketing capability (MC) into the corporate social responsibility (CSR)–corporate financial performance (CFP) link and theorize a single moderated mediation model. The empirical results of the research confirm the theorized moderated mediation model among the four variables, where a firm’s CR plays a mediating role in the relationship between CSR and CFP, and a firm’s MC moderates the effect of CSR on CR exclusively in the first link. Both theoretical and practical implications of the moderated mediation model are discussed.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses structural equation model estimations with the relevant secondary datasets collected from publicly available databases.FindingsThe empirical results confirm the theorized moderated mediation model in the conceptual framework that uses signaling theory. Specifically, the results identify the moderating role of MC in only the CSR- CR link (but not in the CR and CFP link), such that CR plays a moderated mediation role in the CSR–CFP link.Research limitations/implicationsThe current research is not without limitations. These limitations mainly stem from data sets used in the empirical analyses. More details are discussed in the limitations and future research directions section.Practical implicationsThe empirical findings suggest that a firm needs to develop a consolidated CSR-marketing program, simultaneously satisfying stakeholders’ needs for both the firm’s socially desirable business practices and value-creating marketing programs to increase its CR, which will, in turn, lead to better profitability for the firm.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current research is the first to use signaling theory in building a conceptual framework that theorizes a moderated mediation model regarding the simultaneous effects of CR and MC on the relationship between CSR and CFP and to empirically test this conceptual framework of the single moderated mediation model. By doing so, the current research clarifies an unanswered question in the literature of whether the underlying mechanism in the CSR–CFP link is based on a mediated moderation or moderated mediation of CR and MC.
To insource or outsource the sourcing? A behavioral investigation of the multi-tier sourcing decision
Authors: Chae Sangho , Lawson Benn , Kull Thomas J. , Choi Thomas 
Published: April 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavioral tendencies of supply managers when they are faced with uncertainty in making multi-tier sourcing decisions.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses the literature on multi-tier supply chains and behavioral decision making to develop a theoretical framework for examining factors influencing a supply manager’s decision to retain control over sourcing in the multi-tier context. An experimental vignette methodology is used to gather data from 259 supply managers.FindingsResults suggest that supply managers choose to exert less multi-tier control when they have high levels of interpersonal trust in the tier-1 supplier’s sales representative. This effect is accentuated by a high level of familiarity with potential lower-tier suppliers. Under high levels of familiarity with potential lower-tier suppliers, supply managers will exert greater levels of multi-tier sourcing control as the behavioral uncertainty of the tier-1 supplier increases.Practical implicationsBuying firms can enhance their understanding of supply managers’ multi-tier sourcing decision making and the potential biases associated with it. Suggestions for a more effective use of multi-tier sourcing are provided in the Discussion section.Originality/valueMulti-tier sourcing is an increasingly important area of research, and this paper is the first to examine individual supply managers’ behavioral decision making in the multi-tier context. This paper also contributes to the outsourcing literature by investigating behavioral factors influencing the outsourcing of sourcing activities.

Customer participation and service outcomes: mediating role of task-related affective well-being
Authors: Asokan Ajitha Aswathy , Sharma Piyush , Kingshott Russel P.J. , Maurya Upendra Kumar , Kaur Arshinder 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to transformative service research by drawing on self-determination, elicitation of emotions framework and feelings-as-information theories to explore how customer participation, task-related affective well-being, customer knowledge, task complexity and service outcomes relate with each other.

Design/methodology/approach
A synthesis of relevant literature on customer participation and customer well-being reveals a conceptual model with 11 testable propositions.

Findings
The conceptual model shows that task-related affective well-being mediates the link between customer participation and service outcomes. Moreover, customer knowledge and task complexity moderate these links.

Research limitations/implications
An empirically testable conceptual model models the roles of task-related affective well-being, customer knowledge and task complexity in the process by which customer participation influences service outcomes.

Practical implications
Service managers can use the model to design services based on the effects of different types of customer participation on task-related affective well-being.

Originality/value
This paper is one of the first to study the mediating role of task-related affective well-being in the relationship between customer participation and service outcomes. It does so by revealing the differential impact various types of participation have on service outcomes and the moderating role of customer knowledge and task complexity.
Making sense of customer service experiences: a text mining review
Authors: Mahr Dominik , Stead Susan , Odekerken-Schröder Gaby 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the concepts and theories underlying customer service experience (CSE) and its underlying five dimensions (physical, social, cognitive, affective and sensorial). In this research, the contribution of the sensorial dimension to CSE research is emphasized. Senses are especially important in forming perceptions within servicescapes that are typically rich in sensory stimuli.

Design/methodology/approach
This study systematically identifies 258 articles published between 1994 and 2018 in services and marketing journals. The analysis uses a text mining approach with the Leximancer software to extract research concepts and their relationships.

Findings
The results demonstrate a shift from CSE research focused on brands and products toward value and interaction, around three focal areas: service system architecture, with its value creation processes; servicescape, with an increasingly digital interaction interface and outcome measures, with a stronger focus on emotional and relational metrics. In CSE research, the physical, social and cognitive dimensions are mostly researched in the focal areas of servicescape and outcome measures. Although important in practice, the sensorial dimension is the least investigated CSE dimension in service marketing research. Text mining insights demonstrate rich opportunities for sensorial research, particularly in studies on servicescape.

Practical implications
The synthesis will inform managers and service providers which elements of CSE are most relevant to customers when forming perceptions. These insights help service providers to control, manage and design (multi)-sensory stimuli that influence how customers will make sense of the servicescape.

Originality/value
This research is one of the first studies to examine the conceptual structure of CSE with a text mining approach that systematically analyzes a large set of articles, therein reducing the potential for researchers’ interpretative bias. The paper provides an assessment of the role of the largely neglected but crucial sensorial dimension, and offers future research suggestions into this emerging topic.
International evidence on the determinants of trade credit provision
Authors: Hill Matt , Hill Katerina , Preve Lorenzo , Sarria-Allende Virginia 
Published: April 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine whether the level of financial credit available in a country influences the level of trade credit provided to customers.Design/methodology/approachThe authors examine the association between the supply of trade credit and the availability of country-level private financial credit using multivariate regression models that account for country-level heterogeneity, macroeconomic conditions and firm-specific characteristics. The data set is a pooled sample of publicly traded firms incorporated in 66 countries.FindingsSupporting the re-distributional view of trade credit, robust results suggest that suppliers incorporated in countries with increased access to financial credit provide increased trade credit to their customers. Further results indicate significant differences in trade credit usage across geographical regions. Consistent with existing research using samples of US firms, the use of trade credit is correlated with firm-level measures of financial constraints and product market dynamics.Originality/valueThe authors provide one of the first studies to examine differences in trade credit extension across a large number of countries.

Authors: Islam Talat , Ahmad Rashid , Ahmed Ishfaq , Ahmer Zeshan 
Published: April 2019

PurposeAround 87 percent of employees are not engaged in their work and 82 percent have withdrawal intentions across the globe. Considering these emerging challenges the purpose of this paper is to investigate the associations between inter-role conflicts, work engagement and turnover intention considering person-job-fit (PJF) as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachThe data from 343 Punjab police employees were collected on a convenience basis through a questionnaire-based survey. The study used the second generation data analysis technique (i.e. structural equation modeling) in two stages.FindingsThe results found work engagement as a mediator between inter-role conflicts and turnover intention. In addition, PJF was found to moderate these relations.Research limitations/implicationsThis study collected data from a single province of the county. The study has implications for the academicians and policymakers.Originality/valueConsidering the emerging challenges to policing, this study is first of its kind to examine the moderating role of PJF. This theoretical model is developed on the basis of conservation of resource theory and field theory.
Grazing by wild red deer: Management options for the conservation of semi‐natural open habitats
Authors: Riesch Friederike , Tonn Bettina , Meißner Marcus , Balkenhol Niko , Isselstein Johannes 
Published: April 2019

Abstract

Maintaining semi‐natural open habitats requires biomass removal, which can be achieved by extensive grazing with livestock species. However, implementing this established conservation management strategy in large or access‐restricted areas is often not possible.

We investigated grazing by wild and free‐ranging red deer Cervus elaphus as an alternative conservation management approach on an active military training area in Germany. In grasslands and heathlands protected under the EU Habitats Directive, we quantified above‐ground net primary productivity, forage quality and forage removal by red deer over three successive years. To assess synergistic effects between wildlife grazing and additional grassland management measures removing vegetation biomass (i.e. burning, mowing), we conducted our grazing experiment in burnt, mown and untreated grasslands.

Annual forage removal by red deer amounted to 35%, 44%, 48% and 59% of the above‐ground net primary productivity in burnt, mown and untreated grasslands, and untreated heathlands, respectively. Theoretically, a similar annual biomass removal could be obtained by livestock grazing with 0.54 animal units ha−1 in grasslands and 0.45 animal units ha−1 in heathlands. In grasslands, daily rates of forage removal peaked in spring and early summer, whereas in heathlands, forage removal rates were only significant in winter.

Forage removal rates in grasslands increased with productivity and forage quality, which were both enhanced in mown grasslands. This suggests mowing can increase grassland attractiveness to red deer. Forage removal rates in heathlands did not relate to productivity or forage quality but to standing biomass.

Synthesis and applications. We demonstrate that the quantity of forage removed by wild red deer can be comparable to that of livestock in common conservation grazing systems. The seasonal patterns of forage removal by red deer in grasslands and heathlands coincided with the different grazing requirements of these habitats. Especially in large areas of conservation interest, we therefore encourage attempts to modify current wildlife management strategies to allow red deer to forage in open landscapes, which can contribute to the conservation of semi‐natural open habitats and also help to reduce damage in forest stands.
Microbial iron metabolism as revealed by gene expression profiles in contrasted Southern Ocean regimes
Authors: Debeljak Pavla , Toulza Eve , Beier Sara , Blain Stephane , Obernosterer Ingrid 
Published: April 2019

SummaryIron (Fe) is a limiting nutrient in large regions of the ocean, but the strategies of prokaryotes to cope with this micronutrient are poorly known. Using a gene‐specific approach from metatranscriptomics data, we investigated seven Fe‐related metabolic pathways in microbial communities from high nutrient low chlorophyll and naturally Fe‐fertilized waters in the Southern Ocean. We observed major differences in the contribution of prokaryotic groups at different taxonomic levels to transcripts encoding Fe‐uptake mechanisms, intracellular Fe storage and replacement and Fe‐related pathways in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The composition of the prokaryotic communities contributing to the transcripts of a given Fe‐related pathway was overall independent of the in situ Fe supply, indicating that microbial taxa utilize distinct Fe‐related metabolic processes. Only a few prokaryotic groups contributed to the transcripts of more than one Fe‐uptake mechanism, suggesting limited metabolic versatility. Taxa‐specific expression of individual genes varied among prokaryotic groups and was substantially higher for all inspected genes in Fe‐limited as compared to naturally fertilized waters, indicating the link between transcriptional state and Fe regime. Different metabolic strategies regarding low Fe concentrations in the Southern Ocean are discussed for two abundant prokaryotic groups, Pelagibacteraceae and Flavobacteriaceae.
Reconsidering Transferred Loss
Authors: Trotter Andrew 
Published: April 2019

AbstractThe Supreme Court's recent reconsideration of the ‘transferred loss’ exception stopped short of clarifying why it is justified at all. The usual candidates are that it applies to loss transferred with property, or operates more broadly to vindicate the claimant's interest in performance. This note suggests that neither is a sound basis for the rule, and that the promisee ought generally to be entitled to sue for loss suffered by third parties, but is obliged to pass on the damages he recovers.
Gross transcriptomic analysis of Pseudomonas putida for diagnosing environmental shifts
Authors: Hueso‐Gil Ángeles , Calles Belén , O'Toole George A. , de Lorenzo Víctor 
Published: April 2019

SummaryThe biological regime of Pseudomonas putida (and any other bacterium) under given environmental conditions results from the hierarchical expression of sets of genes that become turned on and off in response to one or more physicochemical signals. In some cases, such signals are clearly defined, but in many others, cells are exposed to a whole variety of ill‐defined inputs that occur simultaneously. Transcriptomic analyses of bacteria passed from a reference condition to a complex niche can thus expose both the type of signals that they experience during the transition and the functions involved in adaptation to the new scenario. In this article, we describe a complete protocol for generation of transcriptomes aimed at monitoring the physiological shift of P. putida between two divergent settings using as a simple case study the change between homogeneous, planktonic lifestyle in a liquid medium and growth on the surface of an agar plate. To this end, RNA was collected from P. putidaKT2440 cells at various times after growth in either condition, and the genome‐wide transcriptional outputs were analysed. While the role of individual genes needs to be verified on a case‐by‐case basis, a gross inspection of the resulting profiles suggested cells that are cultured on solid media consistently had a higher translational and metabolic activity, stopped production of flagella and were conspicuously exposed to a strong oxidative stress. The herein described methodology is generally applicable to other circumstances for diagnosing lifestyle determinants of interest.
Developing Subseasonal to Seasonal Climate Forecast Products for Hydrology and Water Management
Authors: Baker Sarah A. , Wood Andrew W. , Rajagopalan Balaji 
Published: April 2019

AbstractWe describe a new effort to enhance climate forecast relevance and usability through the development of a system for evaluating and displaying real‐time subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) climate forecasts on a watershed scale. Water managers may not use climate forecasts to their full potential due to perceived low skill, mismatched spatial and temporal resolutions, or lack of knowledge or tools to ingest data. Most forecasts are disseminated as large‐domain maps or gridded datasets and may be systematically biased relative to watershed climatologies. Forecasts presented on a watershed scale allow water managers to view forecasts for their specific basins, thereby increasing the usability and relevance of climate forecasts. This paper describes the formulation of S2S climate forecast products based on the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) and the North American Multi‐Model Ensemble (NMME). Forecast products include bi‐weekly CFSv2 forecasts, and monthly and seasonal NMME forecasts. Precipitation and temperature forecasts are aggregated spatially to a United States Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic unit code 4 (HUC‐4) watershed scale. Forecast verification reveals appreciable skill in the first two bi‐weekly periods (Weeks 1–2 and 2–3) from CFSv2, and usable skill in NMME Month 1 forecast with varying skills at longer lead times dependent on the season. Application of a bias‐correction technique (quantile mapping) eliminates forecast bias in the CFSv2 reforecasts, without adding significantly to correlation skill.
