“Positive and negative plant-soil feedbacks are caused by mycorrhizal type, soil fertility, and phylogenetic relatedness in a mixed Dipterocarp rain forest”
Authors: Segnitz R. Max , Russo Sabrina E. , Davies Stuart J. , Peay Kabir G. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractWhile work in temperate forests suggests that there may be consistent differences in plant-soil feedback (PSF) between plants with arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal associations, it is unclear whether this is compatible with the high diversity of tropical rainforests. To examine this, we tested the effect of mycorrhizal type, phylogenetic distance, and soil fertility on variation in PSF strength in a mixed-tropical rainforest with a uniquely high diversity of ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal trees. We found positive phylogenetic PSFs for ectomycorrhizal tree species that were insensitive to soil fertility. By contrast, PSFs for arbuscular mycorrhizal tree species were negative, and increasingly so with greater soil fertility. Our results demonstrate consistent effects of mycorrhizal types on plant population dynamics across biomes, and help explain biogeographic variation across tropical forests, such as familial dominance of the Dipterocarpaceae in SE Asia. However, they also raise questions about the role of PSFs in maintaining tropical diversity.Statement of authorshipRMS, SER, SJD and KGP designed the experiment.

Double trigger agricultural insurance products with weather index and yield index
Authors: Xiao Yugu , Yao Jing 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
Agricultural weather index insurance (WII) has been introduced in pilot or experimental form in many countries. However, the effective demand for WII is often limited by the impact of the basis risk. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new type of double trigger product, named “supplement” type, to reduce basis risk and improve the performance of the standalone WII.

Design/methodology/approach
Two measures of performance are introduced by the certainty equivalent income of expected utility theory. Through the Monte Carlo experiments and empirical study, this paper compares the performance of three types of double trigger products.

Findings
The findings indicate that the supplement type can significantly improve the performance of the single weather index product. First, it covers the downside basis risk and the catastrophic basis risk when the standalone WII fails to do so, especially in case of extreme losses. Second, it is superior when the correlation between the weather index and the yield index is not so strong, and can further enhance the performance of insurance even when the weather index and the yield index are highly correlated, for which the standalone WII could perform well.

Originality/value
The supplement type double trigger product proposed in this paper as an enhancement version finds a more preferable way to improve the standalone WII with relative lower complexity.
Internal, external, and media stakeholders’ evaluations during transgressions
Authors: Koehler Isabelle , Raithel Sascha 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
As crises are largely perceptual, the deeper the understanding is of how stakeholders perceive crisis situations, the more effectively corporations can target their crisis communication messages. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how different stakeholder groups process information during transgression-based corporate crises.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on 17 qualitative interviews with the internal, external and media stakeholders of an organisation that experienced a major transgression-based crisis. A case study approach is adopted to analyse and understand how these stakeholders process and respond to the same crisis event.

Findings
Findings suggest that there are considerable differences in the crisis evaluations of different stakeholder groups. This study identifies several elements specific to internal, external and media stakeholders’ crisis information processing.

Research limitations/implications
Although the findings are tied to the specific case, the authors extend the existing theory by shedding light on the specific factors that shape the evaluations of different stakeholder groups during a transgression.

Practical implications
The findings may help managers in building more accurate assumptions and knowledge with respect to crisis effects on an organisation’s stakeholders and thus provide the basis for more effective crisis communication.

Originality/value
Prior crisis information-processing models provide fragmented and generic insights into the specifics of different stakeholder groups and thus lead crisis communication to miss opportunities to attenuate the loss of a corporation’s social approval. This study moves towards an integrated framework of how different stakeholders evaluate a transgression-based corporate crisis.
Sensorless finite-state predictive torque control of induction motor fed by four-switch inverter using extended Kalman filter
Authors: Chebaani Mohamed , Goléa Amar , Benchouia Med Toufik , Goléa Noureddine 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction motor drives is a well-established technique owing to features such as fast dynamic and insensibility to motor parameters. However, conventional DTC scheme, based on comparators and the switching table, suffers from large torque and flux ripples. To improve DTC performance, this study aims to propose and implement a sensorless finite-state predictive torque control using extended Kalman Filter in dSPACE environment.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper deals with the design of an extended Kalman filter for estimating the state of an induction motor model and for sensorless control of systems using this type of motor as an actuator. A complex-valued model is adopted that simultaneously allows a simpler observability analysis of the system and a more effective state estimation.

Findings
Simulation and experimental results reveal that the drive system, associated with this technique, can effectively reduce flux and torque ripples with better dynamic and steady state performance. Further, the proposed approach maintains a constant switching frequency.

Originality/value
The proposed speed observer have been developed and implemented experimentally under different operating conditions such as parameter variation, no-load/load disturbances and speed variations in different speed operation regions.
Modelling of turbulence energy decay based on hybrid methods
Authors: Abdibekova Aigerim , Zhakebayev Dauren , Abdigaliyeva Akmaral , Zhubat Kuanysh 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to present an exact and fast-calculated algorithm for the modelling of turbulent energy decay based on two different methods: finite-difference and spectral methods.

Design/methodology/approach
The filtered three-dimensional non-stationary Navier–Stokes equation is used for simulating the turbulent process. The problem is solved using hybrid methods, where the equation of motion is solved using finite difference methods in combination with cyclic penta-diagonal matrix, which allowed to reach high order of accuracy, and Poisson equation is solved using the spectral methods, which is proposed to speed up the solution procedure. For validation of the given algorithm, the turbulent characteristics were compared with the exact solution of the classical Taylor and Green vortex problem, showing good agreement.

Findings
The proposed method shows high computational efficiency and good estimation quality. A numerical algorithm for solving non-stationary three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations for modelling of isotropic turbulence decay using hybrid methods was developed. The simulation’s turbulence characteristics show good agreements with analytical solution. The developed numerical algorithm can be used for simulation of turbulence decay with different values of viscosity.

Originality/value
An efficient algorithm for simulation of turbulence processes depending on the properties of the viscosity was developed.
A probability transformation method (PTM) for the dynamic stochastic response of structures with non-Gaussian excitations
Authors: Falsone Giovanni , Laudani Rossella 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to present an approach for the probabilistic characterization of the response of linear structural systems subjected to random time-dependent non-Gaussian actions.

Design/methodology/approach
Its fundamental property is working directly on the probability density functions of the actions and responses. This avoids passing through the evaluation of the response statistical moments or cumulants, reducing the computational effort in a consistent measure.

Findings
It is an efficient method, for both its computational effort and its accuracy, above all when the input and output processes are strongly non-Gaussian.

Originality/value
This approach can be considered as a dynamic generalization of the probability transformation method recently used for static applications.
Foresight of cyber security threat drivers and affecting technologies
Authors: Raban Yoel , Hauptman Aharon 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
The cyber security industry emerged rapidly in recent years due to mounting cyber threats and increasing cyber hacking activities. Research on emerging technologies emphasizes the risks and sometimes neglects to address the potential positive contribution to cyber security. The purpose of this study is to conduct a relatively balanced long-term foresight study to elicit major significant threat drivers and to identify emerging technologies that are likely to have a significant impact on defense and attack capabilities in cyber security.

Design/methodology/approach
The main instruments used in this study were horizon scanning and an online survey among subject-matter experts that assessed emerging threats and the potential impact of several emerging technologies on cyber defense capabilities and cyber attack capabilities.

Findings
An expert survey shows that cyber resilience, homomorphic encryption and blockchain may be considered as technologies contributing mainly to defense capabilities. On the other hand, Internet of Things, biohacking and human machine interface (HMI) and autonomous technologies add mainly to attack capabilities. In the middle, we find autonomous technologies, quantum computing and artificial intelligence that contribute to defense, as well as to attack capabilities, with roughly similar impact on both.

Originality/value
This study adds to the current research a balanced long-term view and experts’ assessment of negative and positive impacts of emerging technologies, including their time to maturity and consensus levels. Two new Likert scale measures were applied to measure the potential impact of emerging technologies on cyber security, thus enabling the classification of the results into four groups (net positive, net negative, positive-positive and negative-negative).

The paper describes a lite learning evaluation technology that makes processual real-time evaluation of implementation of new knowledge and competences in practice context.

Design/methodology/approach
The research is based on a case study that is designed and planned as a mixed method inquiry. The empirical case study is based on data from a large Danish enterprise from the telecommunication industry conducting a leadership and sales training programme. Case study analysis uses data drawn from the implemented pulse survey followed up with qualitative interviews with the course participants.

Findings
The authors show results on two levels. On the individual level, processual real-time lite learning evaluation tools create transparency and adaptability. On the organisational level, tool shapes the organisational capacity to improve routines and practices for how to work with organisational learning and learning data in general. Instead of treating learning and development as something that happens “automatically”, organisations now have a tool for informed decisions aimed at creating sustainable organisational learning processes and results.

Originality/value
The paper prompts insights that call for enterprises to enhance focus and dialogue on how to work in new and smart ways with learning at a multi-stakeholder level in organisations. The design and deployment of a real-time lite evaluation tool in organisations are key to bolster learning and competence development, so that organisations and societies can become more responsive in responding to the challenges posed by today’s knowledge economy.

Authors: Constantinidis Christina , Lebègue Typhaine , El Abboubi Manal , Salman Noura 
Published: August 2018

PurposeStudies on women’s entrepreneurship in Morocco are scarce, despite the potential of women for the country’s economy. This research takes place in a socio-cultural environment searching for a compromise between tradition and modernity. Families occupy a prominent place in Morocco, directly influencing women’s activities. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of family in Moroccan women’s entrepreneurial success.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative research is based on 60 interviews with women entrepreneurs in Morocco, including women business owners, women professionals and also women co-operators who have not been documented until now, due to data accessibility. It is diversified in terms of personal, family and professional characteristics. The analysis uses an intersectionality framework taking gender and social class into consideration.FindingsThe results highlight three categories of women entrepreneur: the “elite”, the “self-made women” and the “co-operators”. Each category is characterised by specific familial and professional realities, underpinned by differentiated dynamics in terms of gender and social class.Practical implicationsThe study, from a practical point of view, contributes to a better understanding of the differentiated realities encountered in terms of women’s entrepreneurship, in the Moroccan context.Originality/valueStudies in developing countries tend to consider women entrepreneurs as a homogeneous group. This research highlights the fact that family support, women entrepreneurs’ practices and their role in entrepreneurial success depend on the background situations in terms of gender and social class. It also contributes to the entrepreneurial success field, revealing different definitions and perceptions of success among women entrepreneurs.

Published: August 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explain the relationship between supply chain information management, supply chain information system (IS) infrastructure, supply chain integration and the manufacturing performance of firms in manufacturing industry in Malaysia. Therefore, the study addresses a gap in research concerning the effect of supply chain information practices toward manufacturing performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The research design for this study employed the quantitative method using survey questionnaires that have been developed based on a thorough and detailed analysis of the relevant literature. Based on a sample consist of 248 usable data, mediated multiple regression analysis was used to examine the research model.

Findings
The findings indicate that supply chain integration fully mediates the relationship between supply chain information management and supply chain information system infrastructure (ISI) toward manufacturing performance.

Research limitations/implications
This research is limited to a particular sample: i.e. electrical and electronics manufacturing firms in Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, the results need to be generalized to encompass wider samples.

Practical implications
Organizations interest in making all members in their supply chain to communicate using information network to support managers in better decision making while adopting more enhanced information management and system infrastructure. As a plus, it helps in integrating various internal and external value chain processes across manufacturing firms in the organization’s supply chain network. As result, manufacturing firms could improve their performance in the long run.

Originality/value
The originality of this study lies in employing a newly developed framework-based existing theoretical argument to examine the effectiveness of supply chain information management and system infrastructure with an improved influence from supply chain integration toward the manufacturing performance.
Influencing salespeople’s work outcomes through authentic leadership
Authors: Azanza Garazi , Gorgievski Marjan J. , Moriano Juan Antonio , Molero Fernando 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between sales managers’ authentic leadership style and salespeople’s positive development.

Design/methodology/approach
Multilevel regression analysis was used to examine the data from 40 work teams from several Spanish retail companies (190 salespeople and 40 sales managers).

Findings
In line with previous studies, the analyses indicated that sales managers’ authentic leadership style as perceived by employees significantly predicted salespeople’s work engagement and psychological capital (PsyCap). Contrary to the expectations, salespeople’s perceptions of sales managers’ authentic leadership did not relate to sales managers’ self-ratings of authentic leadership, but instead related to sales managers’ gender (women were perceived as more authentic) and higher perceived frequency of leader–follower interaction.

Originality/value
The study contributes to the literature by testing if sales managers’ variables (gender and self-ratings of authentic leadership and perceived frequency of leader–follower interaction) predict salespeople’s perceptions of authentic leadership, which in turn, predict salespeople’s positive development (work engagement and PsyCap).
The positive impact of guilt
Authors: Liu Wei , Xiang Shuting 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
A self-regulatory framework to explore the positive effects of negative emotions on proactive outcomes for employees is discussed. The purpose of this paper is to examine how and when employee feedback can facilitate feelings of guilt and result in positive learning behaviors in the workplace.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors test the research model using data from field surveys based on a two-wave data collection from 176 employees. Participants completed two paper-based surveys with a time lag of one week.

Findings
The results demonstrate that the feelings of guilt work as a mediator in the association between feedback and employee learning. As a specific negative emotion, guilt has a significant and positive impact on employee learning in the workplace. The findings also demonstrate that transformational leadership can make employees aware of the gap between expectations and their performance. Transformational leaders motivate guilty employees to engage in learning activities through the promotion of regulatory focus.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature on emotions and employee learning in several ways. First, the study raises the association between feedback and employee learning through guilt in the workplace. Second, the study considers the boundaries for facilitating learning behaviors.
