Published: October 2019

AbstractThe past decade has seen the rise of omics data, for the understanding of biological systems in health and disease. This wealth of data includes protein-protein interaction (PPI) derived from both low and high-throughput assays, which is curated into multiple databases that capture the extent of available information from the peer-reviewed literature. Although these curation efforts are extremely useful, reliably downloading and integrating PPI data from the variety of available repositories is challenging and time consuming.We here present a novel user-friendly web-resource called PINOT (Protein Interaction Network Online Tool; available at http://www.reading.ac.uk/bioinf/PINOT/PINOT_form.html) to optimise the collection and processing of PPI data from the IMEx consortium associated repositories (members and observers) and from WormBase for constructing, respectively, human and C. elegans PPI networks.Users submit a query containing a list of proteins of interest for which PINOT will mine PPIs. PPI data is downloaded, merged, quality checked, and confidence scored based on the number of distinct methods and publications in which each interaction has been reported. Examples of PINOT applications are provided to highlight the performance, the ease of use and the potential applications of this tool.PINOT is a tool that allows users to survey the literature, extracting PPI data for a list of proteins of interest. The comparison with analogous tools showed that PINOT was able to extract similar numbers of PPIs while incorporating a set of innovative features. PINOT processes both small and large queries, it downloads PPIs live through PSICQUIC and it applies quality control filters on the downloaded PPI annotations (i.e. removing the need of manual inspection by the user). PINOT provides the user with information on detection methods and publication history for each of the downloaded interaction data entry and provides results in a table format that can be easily further customised and/or directly uploaded in a network visualization software.

Authors: Anagnostopoulou Seraina C. , Buhalis Dimitrios , Kountouri Ioanna L. , Manousakis Eleftherios G. , Tsekrekos Andrianos E. 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to quantify the impact of online customer reputation on financial profitability.

Design/methodology/approach
Online reputation is captured by extracting the most recurring textual themes associated with customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction, expressed within positive vs negative online guest reviews on Booking.com. Latent semantic analysis is used for textual analysis. Proxies of overall financial performance are manually constructed for the sample hotels, using financial data from the Financial Analysis Made Easy (FAME) database. Ordinary least squares is used to gauge the effect of online customer reputation on financial profitability.

Findings
Empirical findings indicate that recurring textual themes from positive online reviews (in contrast to negative reviews) exhibit a higher degree of homogeneity and consensus. The themes repeated in positive, but not in negative reviews, are found to significantly associate with hotel financial performance. Results contribute to the discussion about the measurable effect of online reputation on financial performance.

Originality/value
Contemporary quantitative methods are used to extract online reputation for a sample of UK hotels and associate this reputation with bottom-line financial profitability. The relationship between online reputation, as manifested within hotel guest reviews, and the financial performance of hotels is examined. Financial profitability is the result of revenues, reduced by the costs incurred in order to be able to offer a given level of service. Previous studies have mainly focused on basic measures of performance, i.e. revenue generation, rather than bottom-line profitability. By combining online guest reviews from travel websites (Booking.com) with financial measures of enterprise performance (FAME), this study makes a meaningful contribution to the strategic management of hotel businesses.
Predicting intentions to visit microbreweries and investigating beerscape
Authors: Carr Allison , Shin Yeon Ho , Severt Kimberly 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThis study aims to examine the predictors of microbrewery consumers’ intentions to visit microbreweries using an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) and to assess the gaps between attribute importance and performance by performing importance-performance analysis (IPA) on the beerscape measure.Design/methodology/approachA self-administered questionnaire was administered to visitors of microbreweries within a southern US state. A total of 200 responses were selected based on completion and were analyzed using structural equation modeling and an IPA analysis.FindingsSelf-identity, attitude and perceived behavioral controls were found to be significant predictors of microbrewery consumers’ intentions. The subjective norm was insignificant following the addition of self-identity. Furthermore, the beerscape was not a significant predictor of microbrewery consumers’ attitudes. The IPA found that microbreweries should improve beer value, beer cost, variety of beers and the embodiment of local culture in the atmosphere.Originality/valueTo the researcher’s knowledge, this is the first quantitative study to successfully apply the TPB framework and develop the beerscape in the microbrewery context. The results of this study provide useful information to microbrewery owners and operators, which ultimately helps them serve their consumers more effectively.
Creating a development force in Swedish healthcare
Authors: Kahm Therese , Ingelsson Pernilla 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the results from a study that investigates first-line healthcare managers’ views on their role and the conditions that influence their ability to drive improvement work based on Lean.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire was sent to all first-line managers in a healthcare organization to investigate their views on their role, conditions and ability to create change according to Lean. The results from four of the questions are presented, which focus on how crucial they consider their role to be for managing improvement work based on Lean, what work tasks their time is spent on, what factors they consider to be important to their ability to drive change and what factors best describe what Lean provides.

Findings
The results show that first-line managers claim that their role is crucial in improvement work, but when they defined their work tasks, the time spent on improvements was not frequently described. Time, support from coworkers, and a clear vision and clear goals were the three factors that they considered to be most important to their ability to drive improvement work. Considering their leadership, Lean contributed to the structure with tools and supportive methods.

Originality/value
The questions can be used separately or as part of the entire questionnaire before and along a Lean process to obtain a better understanding of how to create a sustainable Lean approach in healthcare. Understanding the factors that first-line managers consider supporting their ability in improvement work and what they consider Lean provides is important in creating a development force in Swedish healthcare.
Effectiveness of frequent inventory audits in retail stores: an empirical evaluation
Authors: Ishfaq Rafay , Raja Uzma 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to focus on the effectiveness of the inventory audit process to manage operational issues related to inventory errors in retail stores. An evaluation framework is proposed based on developing an error profile of store inventory using product attributes and inventory information.Design/methodology/approachA store inventory error profile is developed using data on price, sales, popularity, replenishment cycle, inventory levels and inventory errors. A simulation model of store inventory management system grounded in empirical data is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the inventory audit process in a high SKU-variety retail store. The framework is tested using a large transaction data set comprised of over 200,000 records for 7,400 SKUs.FindingsThe results show that store inventory exhibits different inventory error profile groups that would determine the effectiveness of store inventory audits. The results also identify an interaction effect between store inventory policies and replenishment process that moderates the effectiveness of inventory audits.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis is based on data collected from a single focal firm and does not cover all the different segments of the retail industry. However, the evaluation framework presented in the paper is fully generalizable to different retail settings offering opportunity for additional studies.Practical implicationsThe findings about the role of different error profile groups and the interaction effect of store audits with inventory and store replenishments would help retailers incorporate a more effective inventory audit process in their stores.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel approach that uses store inventory profiles to evaluate the effectiveness of inventory audits. Unlike previous papers, it is the first empirical study in this area that is based on inventory error data gathered from multiple audits that identify the interaction effect of inventory policy and replenishments on the inventory audit process.
Dynamic positioning matters: uncovering its fundamental role in organization’s innovation performance
Authors: Wang Jingbei , Yang Naiding , Guo Min 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to propose the following questions: How does dynamic positioning influence organization’s innovation performance? Does knowledge base mediate the relationship between them?Design/methodology/approachThe empirical setting of this study is the smartphone collaboration network from 2004 to 2017; the authors selected one-site schemes and data of patents from the Derwent Innovation Database. Furthermore, the authors adopted the negative binomial model with random effects to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe regression results show that organization’s dynamic positioning has an inverted-U-shaped relationship with its exploratory innovation. Similarly, organization’s dynamic positioning has an inverted-U-shaped relationship with its exploitative innovation. Besides, knowledge base mediates the relationship between dynamic positioning and organization’s innovation performance.Originality/valueThis study empirically confirms the relationship between dynamic positioning and organization’s innovation performance by separately examining exploratory and exploitative innovation. Furthermore, this study provides a contribution to the literature linking dynamic positioning and organization’s innovation performance by investigating the mediating role of knowledge base.
Servitization and business performance: the moderating effects of environmental uncertainty
Authors: Zhang Ying , Wang Longwei , Gao Jie , Li Xin 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
To obtain in-depth explanations of the effects of servitization, this paper aims to analyse the benefits and costs at different servitization levels. The authors also investigate the moderating roles of demand uncertainty and technological turbulence on such effects.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use the resource-based view (RBV) and transaction cost economics (TCE) to analyse the varying benefits and costs associated with servitization at its different levels and proposes the hypotheses. Then they use the survey data of 239 Chinese manufacturing firms to empirically test these hypotheses.

Findings
The interplay among service benefits, adjustment costs and coordination costs results in a nonlinear relationship between servitization and business performance. A negative servitization–performance relationship is observed at low levels of servitization as adjustment costs would be dominant. At moderate servitization levels, a positive relationship is observed because service benefits increase substantially and outweigh the increase in adjustment and coordination costs. As servitization levels further increase, coordination costs become dominant and a negative servitization–performance relationship reappears. The study further shows the significant moderating role of demand uncertainty and the insignificant moderating role of technological turbulence.

Research limitations/implications
This study provides a nuanced understanding of the curvilinear effects of servitization on business performance in response to the calls for detailed insights from quantitative studies.

Practical implications
The findings provide guidance on the degree to which the manufacturing firm should extend its service businesses based on demand and technological environments.

Originality/value
This is one of the pioneering empirical studies applying RBV and TCE to examine the varying benefits and costs across different servitization levels. The findings provide insight into the ongoing discussion about “service paradox” and “deservitization”.
Distrust issues in business-to-business e-procurement decisions
Authors: Truong Dothang 
Published: October 2019

PurposeDespite the important role of distrust in predicting the intention to use, existing literature has not studied the impact of distrust on the buyer’s integration with suppliers and their e-procurement usage in the B2B context, creating major gaps in the e-procurement theory. The purpose of this paper is to fill the gaps in the literature by examining the role and impact of distrust in the e-procurement context.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a web-based survey of purchasing professionals in the USA. ANOVA was used to compare the level of distrust among companies. In addition, the measurement model and hypotheses were tested using the structural equation modeling method.FindingsEmpirical findings indicate if buyers have uncertainty or negative expectation on the reliability and capability of the supplier in e-procurement systems, they would tend to hesitate to use e-procurement for purchasing. Furthermore, distrust also inhibits buyers from strengthening the supplier integration through sharing operational and logistics information and collaborating in new product development and purchasing process.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper discovers the vital role of distrust in the e-procurement context. Distrust has a significant impact on a company’s cooperation and commitment with business partners. Additionally, to improve the supplier integration, it is important not only to use e-procurement applications but also to have a mechanism to lower the buyers’ distrust level in e-procurement systems.Practical implicationsRealizing the important role of distrust, e-procurement vendors could improve the supplier selection process by allowing buyers to review the supplier’s reliability and capability, and to interact with the supplier before making any online purchase. Vendors could also build a better supplier verification system and collaborative mechanism to reduce buyers’ distrust issues.Originality/valueDespite the important role of distrust in predicting the intention to use, existing literature has not studied the impact of distrust on the buyer’s integration with suppliers and their e-procurement usage in the B2B context, creating major gaps in the e-procurement theory. This paper fills the gaps in the literature by examining the role and impact of distrust in the e-procurement context.
Public sector entrepreneurship in South Africa
Authors: Urban Boris , Nkhumishe Mmapoulo Lindah 
Published: October 2019

PurposeMany unanswered questions remain regarding the authors’ understanding of how entrepreneurship can be fostered in the public sector. To fill this knowledge gap, the purpose of this paper is to conduct an empirical investigation to determine the relationship between different organisational factors and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in the South African public sector.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data are sourced from middle-level managers at municipalities in the three largest provinces across South Africa. Hypotheses are statistically tested using regression analyses.FindingsResults reveal that the organisational antecedents of structure and culture explain a significant amount of variation in the EO dimensions of innovativeness, risk taking and proactiveness. Additionally, the findings on organisational rewards converge with an emerging stream of research which highlights that while rewards works well to motivate individuals in the private sector, they are negatively correlated with entrepreneurship in the public sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe study implications relate to the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery of municipalities in South Africa. Due to increases in community protest actions, it is necessary not only to maximise efficiency in the provision of services, but also to innovate and be proactive in order to achieve more with less resources.Originality/valueBy investigating previously unrelated factors in the public sector, the authors create closer conceptual and empirical links between the role of organisational factors and each of the EO dimensions. Furthermore, the study takes place in a relatively under-researched entrepreneurship and public sector context.
CEO compensation, portfolio holdings and strategic investments
Authors: Lord Richard A. , Saito Yoshie , Nicholson Joseph R. , Dugan Michael T. 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of CEO compensation plans and the risk of managerial equity portfolios with the extent of strategic investments in advertising, capital expenditures and research and development (R&D). The elements of compensation are salary, bonuses, options and restricted stock grants. The authors proxy the design of CEO equity portfolios by the price performance sensitivity of the holdings and the portfolio deltas.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use the components of executive compensation and portfolio risk as the dependent variables, regressing these against measures for the level of strategic investment. The authors test for non-linear relationships between the components of CEO compensation and strategic investments. The sample is a broad cross-section from 1992 to 2016.

Findings
The authors find strong support for non-linear relationships of capital expenditures and R&D with CEO bonuses, option grants and restricted stock grants. There are very complex relationships between the components of executive compensation and R&D expenditures, but little evidence of a relationship with advertising expenditures. The authors also find strong complex relationships in the design of CEO equity portfolios with advertising and R&D.

Originality/value
Little earlier research has considered advertising, capital expenditures and R&D in a unified framework. Also, testing for non-linear associations provides much greater insight into the relationship between the components of executive compensation and strategic investment. The findings represent a valuable incremental contribution to the executive compensation literature. The results also have normative policy implications for compensation committees’ design of optimal annual CEO compensation packages to incentivize or discourage particular strategic investment behavior.
Corporate social responsibility in marketing: a review of the state-of-the-art literature
Authors: Chakraborty Anirban , Jha Ankur 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of the study is to understand the evolution of the state-of-the-art of corporate social responsibility (CSR) research in the domain of marketing.

Design/methodology/approach
The top-ranked journals in the domain of marketing have been chosen for the purpose of this study, and the papers related to CSR concept published in those journals between 1930 and 2018 have been reviewed. A lucid framework has been used to structure the reviewing process.

Findings
The study finds that the CSR concept in marketing context has become more complex, its dimensions have evolved and increased in number, affecting diverse stakeholders leading to different outcomes.

Research limitations/implications
A simple model is proposed to understand the amalgamation of CSR concept in marketing literature. The study also highlights extant gaps in the literature and suggests the directions for future research.

Practical implications
The notion of CSR goes beyond the economic and regulatory obligation of the firm. Hence, for it to be duly implemented, practitioners must have a holistic understanding of this multi-faceted construct. This paper examines the changing role of CSR in the context of marketing over a period of almost a century. It thereby helps marketers to understand and visualize their changing responsibility toward the society at large and thereby co-create a sustainable relationship with all the stakeholders. The study provides both tactical and strategic pointers to practitioners.

Social implications
The study draws upon extant literature and documents the positive impact of CSR on marketing variables and thereby gives a compelling reason to the marketers to be socially responsible. Compilation of persuasive evidence would encourage the adoption of CSR concepts by the marketers. This would elicit a more socially responsible action which will have a positive impact on the society that the marketer serves.

Originality/value
This is an in-depth study depicting the journey of CSR construct in marketing literature and provides a holistic understanding of the construct in the context of marketing.
