Patient-to-patient value co-creation in online health communities: a systematic literature review and research agenda
Authors: Ahuja Himanshu , Shree Deep 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
The idea of value co-creation involves the benefit actors gain from integrating resources through activities and interactions within a service network, with the environment enabling high-quality collaboration. This paradigm highlights customers’ ability to co-create value with service providers and other customers. This idea is gaining traction in health care. These days, patients are no longer passive recipients of health-care services; rather they have started taking proactive roles in their self-health management. This study aims to understand the phenomenon of value co-creation among patients within online health communities (OHCs).

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review of papers published from 2003 to 2024 in Web of Science-indexed journals was conducted. The review highlights theories, contexts, characteristics and methodologies in this area, synthesizing insights from previous research and presenting a future research agenda for underexplored and unexplored contexts using emerging theoretical perspectives and analytical methodologies.

Findings
The review illuminates theoretical and empirical studies on value co-creation among patients in OHCs. Previous research shows that value co-creation among patients leads to cognitive, affective and physical benefits such as reduced anxiety and stress, increased assurance and self-confidence, improved quality of life, enhanced patient empowerment, acceptance of disease and treatment effectiveness and a sense of self-worth and well-being.

Originality/value
This review synthesizes insights from previous works and outlines a research agenda for future studies in underexplored and unexplored contexts using new theoretical perspectives and methodologies. Considering the role social media plays in an individual’s life, this work will help in deep diving into the role of such online communities in the health-care sector.

Authors: Mayanja Samuel Ssekajja , Kizito Reuben David , Mutebi Henry , Zombeire Regis Kamadduka 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe study empirically explores the influence of re-organization on entrepreneurial intentions and family business generational transfers among small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachUsing multi-group analysis and partial least square structural equation models, data from 252 family-owned businesses were analyzed.FindingsThe results reveal that re-organization partially mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and family business generational transfers among SMEs.Research limitations/implicationsThe study used a cross-sectional survey approach and focused on Kampala business district. If required and funding permits, a longitudinal study in this field may be conducted.Practical implicationsFamily business owners ought to involve their family members in the management of the business from an early age, including them in the decision-making process, and use social exchange to strike a balance between their personal goals and the objectives of the business. In order to protect the business's goals, the business founder should mentor the next generation through quality family social interactions.Originality/valueIntegrating entrepreneurial intentions and re-organization is likely to improve the survival rate of family business generational transfers among SMEs in Uganda using social exchange theory.
Does diversity in top management and boards affect ESG performance? Evidence from Islamic and conventional banks in the MENA region
Authors: Rabbani Mustafa Raza , Kiran Madiha , Bhuiyan Abul Bashar , Al-Hiyari Ahmad 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the impact of gender diversity in top management teams and boards on environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. The authors propose a corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee as a moderating variable in this relationship, drawing on resource dependence and legitimacy theories. This study is crucial in understanding the dynamics of gender diversity and its impact on ESG performance in the banking sector.

Design/methodology/approach
The study examines a sample of Islamic and conventional banks from 10 Middle Eastern and North African countries during 2008–2022. Initial analysis was conducted using fixed effects panel regression, whereas the robustness test used the generalized method of movement dynamic system.

Findings
The findings, which are significant for both conventional and Islamic banks, indicate that female directors are crucial in promoting ESG performance in conventional banks. In contrast, female executives do not appear to contribute significantly. However, for Islamic banks, neither board nor executive gender diversity significantly affects ESG performance. Moreover, the find that the positive moderating role of the CSR committee is significant only for the nexus between board gender diversity and conventional banks’ ESG performance and for the connection between executive gender diversity and Islamic banks’ ESG performance.

Originality/value
Despite the widespread belief that gender diversity in top management teams is pivotal in promoting ESG performance, empirical studies supporting these claims are scarce, particularly in the banking sector. The study, therefore, brings a novel perspective to this discourse. These findings have the potential to significantly assist stakeholders in evaluating how gender diversity in top management teams influences banks’ sustainability practices, thereby empowering them to make more informed and impactful investment decisions.
Are government budgets a visible stabilizer? Evidence from China since the tax-assignment reform
Authors: Li Cheng , Yao Hui 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis study quantitatively examines the relationship between economic fluctuations and government budget size in the context of China’s fiscal decentralization, drawing inspiration from theoretical predictions of the Keynesian view and empirical studies on other economies.Design/methodology/approachThe panel comprises 31 provinces or equivalents in mainland China, spanning from 1994 to 2019. Diverse estimation strategies including two-way fixed effect regression, the generalized method of moments (GMM) and threshold regressions are, utilized.FindingsThe results suggest that under the “tax-assignment system”, neither the central government’s fiscal transfers nor the provincial budgetary revenues or expenditures help reduce economic volatility. Surprisingly, some regression outcomes suggest that government size measures destabilize business cycles.Originality/valueWhile the study does not provide supportive evidence for the stabilizing effect of public budgets in Chinese provinces, it promotes a rethinking of the government’s intricate role in macroeconomic stabilization in the context of China’s fiscal decentralization.
The role of ESG reporting, artificial intelligence, stakeholders and innovation performance in fostering sustainability culture and climate resilience
Authors: Mohamed Riyath Mohamed Ismail , Inun Jariya Achchi Mohamed 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the causal relationships among environmental, social and governance reporting (ESGR), stakeholder sustainability awareness, use of artificial intelligence (AI), sustainability culture, innovation performance and climate resilience of organizations across diverse sectors in Sri Lanka.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted among 327 respondents, including senior accounting professionals, operations managers and functional heads to gather company-level data in various industries in Sri Lanka. A disjoint two-stage approach validated the measurement model, and the partial least squares structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe analysis evidences the mediating role of stakeholders' sustainability awareness on the relationship between ESGR and sustainability culture. Furthermore, it emphasizes the role of sustainability culture in driving climate resilience. Innovation performance acts as a moderator, strengthening the relationship between the use of AI and sustainability culture.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that organizations should strategically use ESGR, integrate AI and prioritize stakeholder engagement to strengthen their commitment to sustainability. These provide insight for decision-making in organizations seeking to align with sustainable business practices.Originality/valueIt explores the use of AI to enhance ESGR and sustainability culture, providing a broader understanding of how organizations manage AI and stakeholders in sustainability issues.
Employment brand equity and corporate’s job growth and reputation
Authors: Bui Hong T.M. , Irmayanti Aryani 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis research aimed to explore the commonalities and differences in the type of information provided on corporate websites in relation to their employment brand equity.Design/methodology/approachMixed methods of content analysis, ANOVA and regression analyses were employed to answer the research questions. The data were collected from multiple sources, including the websites of a sample of forty companies listed as the US Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work in 2012 and information presented on Fortune’s website as well.FindingsEmployment brand equity hardly showed any significant impact on either company’s job growth or reputation in the ranking as an “employer of choice”.Practical implicationsThe results indicated some practices to make a company’s employment brand outstanding and how its web presence reflected its “brand” and presence for potential employees. They are useful for HR practitioners concerned with building an employee brand. For example, the more highly ranked companies in the Fortune 100 tend to provide more forms of online support related to employment opportunities.Originality/valueUsing brand equity theory from the marketing arena and applying this within the human resources management area, this study suggests that “employment brand equity” became a major factor that many companies and organizations should focus on to enhance their standing with job seekers, particularly talented ones. Nearly a decade before the COVID-19 pandemic, the best companies to work for in the US had paid attention to digitalization via websites and social media, to attract talent (and support employees).
Mentoring global talent: an integrative review
Authors: Zhang Hui , Nardon Luciara 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe international mentoring literature predominantly features traditional company-assigned expatriates as protégés overlooking other types of global talent, such as immigrants, refugees, and international graduates, who may help organizations gain long-term IHRM competitive advantages. We integrate multidisciplinary research to better understand the role of mentoring as a global talent management tool, identify research gaps, and propose future research directions.Design/methodology/approachWe draw on an integrative review of 71 academic journal articles published between 1999 and 2024 to explore the role of mentoring in managing global talent (i.e. expatriates, immigrants, refugees, and international students and graduates).FindingsWe found that research has identified and examined relationships between various antecedents and outcomes of mentoring but mainly treating mentoring as a talent development tool. Less is known about the role of mentoring as a recruitment and selection tool in the pre-employment context. Mentoring is an important HRM tool that contributes to managing a global talent pool and developing existing employees.Originality/valueThe review contributes to a better understanding of the characteristics and processes involved in mentoring in a global context by proposing a framework that incorporates antecedents of mentoring, characteristics of the mentoring process, and mentoring outcomes. It highlights the value of mentoring as a recruitment and selection tool supporting global talent management and identifies avenues for future research.
Corporate reputation in Brazil: do board characteristics matter?
Authors: Pinheiro Alan Bandeira , do Prado Nágela Bianca , Moraes Gustavo Hermínio Salati Marcondes De , Carraro Wendy Beatriz Witt Haddad 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to analyse the influence of board characteristics on corporate reputation.

Design/methodology/approach
In total, 128 Brazilian publicly traded companies from Refinitiv Eikon were analysed between 2016 and 2020. The dependent variable was corporate reputation, whereas the independent variables were board size, gender diversity, board independence and audit committee presence. Multivariate analysis was used.

Findings
The results presented empirical evidence that board members can impact corporate reputation. Findings showed that board size, gender diversity and independence positively influence Brazilian companies’ corporate reputation. Conversely, an audit committee had no significant impact on corporate reputation.

Research limitations/implications
The paper presents a contribution to the significance of board members in shaping a company's corporate reputation, using the signalling theory and the resource-based view (RBV) theory.

Practical implications
Regarding practical implications, this work provides subsidies for managers to value board characteristics because they directly reflect on corporate reputation and competitive advantage, leading to more sustainable performance.

Social implications
The research findings highlight that a diverse board encourages the organisation to improve its workforce, human rights, relations with the community and responsibility for manufactured products.

Originality/value
The relationship between board characteristics and corporate cooperation is poorly established in the literature. Furthermore, the results prove the RBV theory in an emerging context. Similarly, the signalling theory proved helpful in improving Brazilian firms’ corporate reputation.
Entrepreneurial intentions and the role of educational and social support: do the self-efficacy and the theory of planned behavior variables matter?
Authors: Yesmin Mst. Nirufer , Hossain Md. Alamgir , Islam Md. Saiful , Rahman Md. Mostafizur , Jahan Nusrat , Kim Minho 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
The study aims to ascertain whether educational and social support for entrepreneurs significantly affects university students’ intentions to become successful entrepreneurs. This study examines the mediating role of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) variables (e.g. entrepreneurial personal attitude, subjective norms and entrepreneurial perceived behavioral control) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy in encouraging young entrepreneurs.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey with a structured questionnaire collected data from different university students in Bangladesh; subsequently, it was analyzed through the structural equation model.

Findings
The results suggested that educational support has a direct positive relationship with the three variables of TPB. Moreover, the findings indicated that social support positively influences the variables of TPB, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. The variables of TPB and entrepreneurial self-efficacy were found to have a significant direct impact on entrepreneurial intentions and also exhibited favorable mediating effects of educational and social support on entrepreneurial intentions.

Research limitations/implications
First, the study is only generalized to some sectors of entrepreneurship activities because the researchers used samples from university students across Bangladesh. Second, the implicit limitation of survey-based research is that respondents need to know more ways of understanding the questionnaires accurately, and some participants need to be taught how to answer the question items.

Practical implications
The main practical implication for the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and educational support involves different entrepreneurial educational programs, which give rise to attitude, behavior, self-efficacy and intentions and enhance the student's awareness of advancing a successful entrepreneurial career.

Social implications
This study demonstrated that universities and social communities should promote the improvement of innovative thoughts for entrepreneurs and offer essential information about entrepreneurship.

Originality/value
Because entrepreneurial educational support is a crucial factor in entrepreneurial intentions, universities need to develop a practical education system that can help improve the skills required to start new ventures. The results will improve a new route to developing students’ entrepreneurial intentions using the variables of TPB and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Subsequently, these research findings will help to achieve governmental goals and increase the number of startups in the future.

Authors: Dille Lucas M. , Campbell Arlisa , Combs Deborah Goodner 
Published: September 2024

Research methodology
The case is a secondary sourced case. Information for the case was found from news articles and interviews.

Case overview/synopsis
David’s Bridal was a privately held corporation generating $1.3bn in annual revenue and employing over 12,000 employees. David’s Bridal filed bankruptcy not once but twice. This case examines the bridal industry and the environmental factors that led to the two bankruptcies. Bridal dresses are at the top of wedding categories. Environmental factors causing bankruptcy included online competition, reputation as seen through the eyes of the consumer, COVID, and supply chain challenges. David’s Bridal first looked to Jim Marcum to turn the corporation around and when this failed, they created a new management team after the second bankruptcy to save the company.

Complexity academic level
The case is designed as an interdisciplinary case for undergraduate leadership, advanced accounting or undergraduate strategy courses. The case was tested in MGMT 330: Leading People in Organizations. This case is appropriate for junior- and senior-level students.This case will be used in ACCT 402: Advanced Accounting – a senior-level course. The case gives perspective on going concern opinions and the strategic implications of bankruptcy.Possible textbooks▪ Christensen, T., Cottrell, D. and Budd, C. (2023).

How do people quit smoking using e‐cigarettes? A mixed‐methods exploration of participant smoking pathways following receiving an opportunistic e‐cigarette‐based smoking cessation intervention
Authors: Ward Emma , Belderson Pippa , Clark Allan , Stirling Susan , Clark Lucy , Pope Ian , Notley Caitlin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsPathways of transitioning from tobacco smoking to vaping after receiving an e‐cigarette‐based smoking cessation intervention have been minimally explored. Study aims: 1) identify pathways between intervention delivery and final follow‐up; 2) describe baseline and post‐intervention statistical data in relation to smoking/vaping behaviour of the different pathway groups; 3) explore qualitative participant perspectives contextualising pathway groups.DesignEmbedded mixed‐methods analysis of data collected for the Cessation of Smoking Trial in the Emergency Department (COSTED) randomised controlled trial.SettingRecruitment from 6 Emergency Departments (5 in England and 1 in Scotland) between January and August 2022.Participants366 adult smokers who were randomised to receive the COSTED intervention and provided data at 6‐month follow‐up. Qualitative subsample of 24 participants interviewed after follow‐up.InterventionsBrief smoking cessation advice, provision of an e‐cigarette starter kit and referral to the local Stop Smoking Service.MeasurementsDescriptive statistical reporting of identified pathways and smoking/vaping behaviour at baseline and 6‐month follow‐up. Semi‐structured phone/video interviews analysed thematically.Findings13.4% (n = 49) of participants quit smoking within 1 month of receiving the intervention, 19.1% (n = 70) quit between 1 and 6 months, 24.9% (n = 91) reduced cigarettes per day (CPD) by at least 50%, and 42.6% did not experience a significant smoking reduction. Approximately a third of participants who quit reported not vaping at follow‐up. Reporting dual use was associated with a reduction in CPD. Appoximately a third reported experimenting with a different device to the one provided as part of the intervention. Quitters reported themes of satisfaction with vaping, changes in environment facilitating quitting and motivation to quit.ConclusionsDual use of cigarettes and e‐cigarettes can result in a reduction of smoking and may prelude quitting smoking. Sustained e‐cigarette use is not always necessary for quitting success. Success depends on personal context as well satisfaction with vaping.
Survival evaluation of surgical extrusion for the management of complicated crown‐root fractured maxillary incisors: A clinical study
Authors: Jenisha J. , Geeth Deepika K. G. , Sherwood I. Anand , Abirami A. Azhagu 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to clinically evaluate the survivability of surgically extruded teeth, to assess the success rate and predictable factors pertaining to alterations in both hard and soft tissues adjacent to extruded teeth. A total of 46 complicated crown‐root fractured maxillary central and lateral incisors with >75% tooth structure loss relatively due to trauma were included. Preoperative clinical and radiographic variables were recorded. Single operator performed endodontic treatment before surgical extrusion. Patients were recalled for review at 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months. Survivability was assessed using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. With a mean follow‐up of 2.8 years, survival rate was 95.7%. Mobility observed in only two cases. The crown‐root ratio was favourable (1:2) in all the cases except for five teeth. Only two teeth displayed non‐progressive root resorption. Survival of surgically extruded teeth relies on significant predictors like favourability of CRR and implementation of atraumatic extrusion.
