Current trends in collection development practices and policies
Authors: Horava Tony , Levine-Clark Michael 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a snapshot of some major collections-related trends and issues in current academic libraries today. These include using collection development policies; demand-driven acquisition (DDA) models; big deals; using the collections budget; rationalizing legacy print collections; stewarding local digital collections; and demonstrating value.

Design/methodology/approach
A web survey was developed and sent to 20 academic librarians via e-mail during the summer of 2016, along with a statement on the purpose of the study.

Findings
The findings are as follows: the collections budget is used to fund many costs other than content (such as memberships and MARC records); most libraries are experimenting with DDA in one form or another; most libraries financially support open access investments; most libraries participate in at least one collaborative print rationalization project; and libraries have diverse methods of demonstrating value to their institutions.

Research limitations/implications
This was a very selective survey of North American academic libraries. Therefore, these findings are not necessarily valid on a broader scale.

Practical implications
Within the limitations above, the results provide librarians and others with an overview of current practices and trends related to key issues affecting collection development and management in North America.

Originality/value
These results are quite current and will enable academic librarians engaged in collection development and management to compare their current policies and practices with what is presented here. The results provide a current snapshot of the ways in which selected libraries are coping with transformative challenges and a rapidly changing environment.
Joint effects of creative self-efficacy, positive and negative affect on creative performance
Authors: Thundiyil Tomas G. , Chiaburu Dan S. , Li Ning , Wagner Dave T. 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to test a model connecting Chinese employees’ positive and negative affect and creative self-efficacy with supervisor-rated creative performance in Chinese business. Building on the cognitive tuning theory, this paper answers several calls for research to examine the joint effects of positive and negative affects on creative performance in the China business environment.Design/methodology/approachThe participants were drawn from one of the largest petrochemical companies in China. We drew 459 leader-subordinate dyads across different jobs situated in multiple divisions to complete our surveys. The authors used hierarchical linear modeling to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe findings suggest that creative self-efficacy has a positive influence on creative performance during low PA scenarios. The authors also demonstrated that for employees in China, creative self-efficacy has a positive influence on creativity when employees experience both low levels of positive affect and high levels of negative affect.Originality/valueAs the findings suggest, Chinese employees who experience positive affect may engage in heuristic, top-down cognitive processes. Furthermore, findings from the present study also serve to extend the scope of the cognitive tuning model by testing the informational roles of positive and negative affects in self-regulatory processes rather than focusing directly on the main effects of employee affect. An important finding in this study is the three-way interaction indicating that individuals experiencing low positive affect and high negative affect will see a strong connection between creative self-efficacy and creative performance.
The resource evolution of standard alliance by technology standardization
Authors: Daoping Wang , Xiaoyan Wei , Fang Fang 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the evolution mechanism of resources in a standard alliance that are matched with resources required at different standardization stages from the viewpoint of dynamic matching. How core enterprises in an alliance allocate resources, select member enterprises and maintain the normal operation of an alliance, according to the resource evolution of a standard alliance, is an important issue when dealing with the implementation of technology standardization.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors have chosen the Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing (IGRS) standard alliance of computer companies in China as the object of this study. The authors have built indices to identify core enterprises in the alliance from the viewpoint of network organization. The authors also collected data from authoritative news websites concerning patents and cooperative projects undertaken by 216 enterprises in the IGRS alliance during the period from 2002 to 2016, and they have computed and analyzed these data by using UCINET 6.0 software and social network analysis methodology to identify core enterprises at different standardization stages, thus revealing the evolution mechanism for resources in the standard alliance.

Findings
Technology standardization is divided into R&D, industrialization and marketization stages, and the standard alliance requires different resources to satisfy what is required at each of those different standardization stages. While technology standardization is a process during which technology systems standards are continuously being perfected and the standard product market is continuously expanding, the development of technology standardization affects the evolutionary processes of the core enterprises and affects the selection of member enterprises in the standard alliance.

Practical implications
The results obtained will assist the standard alliance to select proper member enterprises and dynamically match the alliance’s resources with the resources required at different standardization stages to speed up the implementation of independent standardization in China.

Originality/value
This study demonstrates the evolution mechanism of resources in technology standard alliances at different standardization stages by using quantitative analysis methodology, and it enriches the research on which elements are influential for technology standardization’s development in the context of China’s social, economic and cultural characteristics.
Linear quadratic-based optimal current control of BLDC motor minimizing control error and considering accurate finite element model
Authors: Bernat Jakub , Stepien Slawomir Jan , Stranz Artur , Superczynska Paulina 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are commonly used in the industry. The improvement of power switching electronic elements, especially integrated circuits, has led to the development and improvement of control strategies. The purpose of this paper is to apply the well-known LQR control method for the highly accurate model of the BLDC motor, which is a must for the control system to be optimal and stable.

Design/methodology/approach
The employed distributed parameter finite element motor model uses a state vector which is dependent not only on time but also on space configuration, thus enabling the end-winding effect, cogging torque or magnetic saturation to be taken into account. The adopted infinite horizon linear quadratic-based controller aims at optimally minimizing current control error considering the energy delivered to the motor. For this reason, the relationship between the quadratic forms of the performance index is investigated and the reference currents’ influence on the results was studied. The presented methodology was confirmed with the numerical analysis of the problem.

Findings
It was found how the configuration of the optimal control objective function influences the performance and the stability of the drive system subject to energy delivery minimization. An exact configuration was calculated for which the control error was reasonably small. The applicability of the infinite horizon optimal current control for the BLDC drive applications was proved.

Originality/value
The authors introduced an innovative approach to the well-known control methodology and settled their research in the newest literature coverage for this issue.
Vodafone Egypt (B), managing corporate cultural change and organizational performance
Authors: Harlow Harold Dennis 
Published: November 2016

Subject area
This telecommunications international business case study is the second in a series (A, B and C) of Vodafone cases.

Study level/applicability
This case is intended to be used in MBA graduate and undergraduate business courses in strategy, cross-cultural management and human resources.

Case overview
This case examined organizational structures and human resource operating strategies of Vodafone Egypt from 2002 until 2007. Vodafone’s business model, how Vodafone addressed the differences in national culture between Britain and Egypt and how Vodafone fostered adoption of the Vodafone corporate culture are the main themes of this case. Further, this case examined business issues, products, processes and people systems that challenged Vodafone to grow quickly from zero local operations in 1998 to 4,000 employees and national mobile coverage in 2007.

Expected learning outcomes
The students who have used this case in the author’s classes have gained a clearer understanding of how international managers often have to develop a change culture and structure as a catalyst for firm growth in emerging markets. Adaptation to the local culture may not be an option for fast growth technology firms and may be ill-suited to meet corporate objectives.

Disaster restoration project management: leadership education and methods
Authors: Baroudi Bassam , Rapp Randy 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
Disaster restoration concerns the mitigation and repair of buildings and property resulting from natural and man-made disasters. This paper aims to investigate current attitudes with respect to disaster restoration project management leadership and its associated education.

Design/methodology/approach
Relevant literature is presented to provide some background with respect to disaster restoration projects, project management and leadership education. This is followed by a questionnaire survey that seeks opinion from appropriately qualified industry practitioners on a series of important issues with respect to the topic.

Findings
The results provide some insight into disaster restoration leadership education and methods. It was found that varied degrees of support existed on issues involving knowledge, teaching approaches and delivery modes.

Research limitations/implications
This research focuses on leadership and education as it pertains to the restoration of buildings post disaster. It does not delve into leadership education with respect to disaster management in general.

Practical implications
Appropriate education and training of industry participants needs to take place to ensure that qualified people undertake restoration projects. This study informs disaster restoration educators and industry with respect to leadership education and methods.

Originality/value
There have been many studies on leadership and education. However, this study has a specific focus on how disaster restoration practitioners view leadership and its associated education within their field.
Development of building inventory for northern Pakistan for seismic risk reduction
Authors: Rafi Muhammad Masood , Lodi Sarosh Hashmat , Ahmed Muhammad , Kumar Amit , Verjee Firoz 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to present the studies which were carried out to determine building typology in Northern Pakistan, which is a seismically active region.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 41 towns and cities were surveyed to collect the data of building types. Help was also taken from global positioning system and satellite imagery.

Findings
In total, 14 different types of buildings were identified in the region based on the structural system and combination of wall and roof materials; each of them was assigned an appropriate designation. The walls in these buildings were made of block, stone or brick, whereas the roof consisted of corrugated galvanised iron sheet, thatched roof, precast concrete planks or reinforced concrete (RC). Only 6 per cent buildings were found to be engineered RC buildings; this indicates a significance proportion of non-engineered building stock in Northern Pakistan.

Research limitations/implications
The surveys were conducted in some of the selected areas. Other areas are beyond the scope of this work.

Practical implications
The presence of a huge deficient building stock in Pakistan indicates a major seismic risk. The seismic losses are largely dependent on the earthquake resistance of existing buildings and building stock. An inventory of existing buildings and their types can help in assessing seismic vulnerability of the built environment, which may lead to the development of policies for seismic risk reduction.

Originality/value
Presently, housing encyclopaedia does not exist in Pakistan. As a result, housing typology in the country is not known. The presented study addresses this gap in part. Housing typology surveys were conducted to study the typical construction practices in the selected areas and to determine the proportions of different building types in the overall building stock.

Authors: Kundu Subhash C. , Phogat Rina S. , Datta Saroj Kumar , Gahlawat Neha 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to assess the effects of various workplace characteristics on work-family conflict among dual-career couples in India.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data based on 393 employees belonging to dual-career couples were analyzed. Using multiple regression analysis, the study has attempted to find out the effects of workplace characteristics on work-family conflict in dual-career couples.FindingsThe findings indicate that not all workplace characteristics effect work-family conflict in dual-career couples. Out of 13 characteristics, 8 workplace characteristics, namely, development and flexibility, co-worker support, supervisory support, job competence, self-employee control, practicing overtime, flexibility and discrimination, are found to have significant effects on work-family conflict in dual-career couples.Research limitations/implicationsAs this study is limited to the dual-career couples employed mainly in organizations operating in India, these results may not be generalized to other areas such as traditional career couples, self-employed member of couples and in other national contexts.Practical implicationsIt would be beneficial for organizations to understand and implicate that adoption of certain workplace characteristics provide appropriate choices, freedom and environment for dual-career employees, which further encourage them to build effective amalgamation of work and family roles suiting their individual circumstances.Originality/valueThis study is an important and almost first study on dual-career couples in India on such issues. As a very scant number of researches have examined the impact of workplace characteristics on work-family conflict on such extensive basis, it definitely contributes to HR literature.
Human resource management executive presence in top management
Authors: Reutzel Christopher R. , Belsito Carrie A. , Collins Jamie D. 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThis study aims to draw upon research from strategic human resource management (HRM) and strategic management to examine how HRM demands influence the likelihood that chief executive officers (CEOs) will staff top management with a human resource (HR) executive.Design/methodology/approachThe theory and hypotheses developed in this study are tested on a sample of US initial public offering firms from the calendar year 2007, using logistic regression.FindingsThe results of hypothesis tests suggest that HR executive presence in top management is positively related to the HRM demands faced by a CEO stemming from product/service innovation strategies, the number of HRs employed by the firm and CEO’s financial orientation.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of this study may not generalize to other settings. This study does not simultaneously consider the role of other structural forms which may increase or reduce the degree of HRM demands faced by the CEO. This study extends prior research on executive job demands by expanding the understanding of factors which give rise to HRM sources of executive job demands. Study results suggest that CEOs with financial orientations are more likely to staff their top management teams with an HR executive, which suggests that in the face of executive job demands stemming from a particular functional area, CEOs delegate responsibility for that function to another member of top management. This finding suggests that CEOs can, and in fact do, recognize the limitations engendered by their experiences and that when confronted with a specific type of executive job demand that does not align with their expertise, they take steps to address their individual limitations by appointing others that are more capable of addressing the particular source of executive job demand.Practical implicationsStudy results suggest that product/service innovation strategies, CEO’s financial background and the number of HRs employed by the firm increase the likelihood of HR functional representation in top management.Originality/valueThe theory and results of this study extend the focus of extant research on factors giving rise to HRM’s functional representation in top management. Although prior research has emphasized the role of ownership characteristics and risk preferences in the adoption of this structural form, this study examines the role of CEO HRM demands. This approach allows for the integration of the upper echelons theory with the strategic HRM literature and provides an empirical examination of CEO job demands arising from the HRM function.
Expatriate managers decision-making practices within the UAE: a qualitative study
Authors: AlMazrouei Hanan , Zacca Robert , Bilney Chris , Antoine Giselle 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
Managing across cultures is vital for international business success. Leaders need to make decisions in a way that suits the new culture in which they are placed. This paper aims to explore how expatriate managers in the UAE make decisions in respect to their contextual environment. Additionally, the study investigates the approaches expatriate managers use to adjust their decision-making and how they manage local staff in contrast to home country staff. Finally, the study investigates the factors that contribute to the situation-specific environment of the expatriate leaders’ experience.

Design/methodology/approach
Structured personal interviews of expatriates drawn from stratified sampling were used to discover the styles of decision-making that were effective in the UAE.

Findings
The consultative management style of management enhanced by a hybrid approach of melding the strongest aspects of the expatriates’ decision-making style with the strongest aspects of the local decision-making style met with much success managing in the UAE. Additionally, the expatriate managers’ expression of appreciation towards local staff provided motivation and encouraged cooperation. Moreover, it was found that expatriates can face difficulties in expressing their wishes and requirements accurately to local staff because of their unfamiliarity with the Arabic language.

Practical implications
This research provides practical guidance for expatriate managers charged with successfully leading organizations in UAE. It also offers guidance for employers seeking to recruit or employ appropriate management talent to UAE.

Originality/value
The paper concentrates on expatriate managers’ decision-making practices within the UAE.

Authors: Browning Lynette , Thompson Kirrilly , Dawson Drew 
Published: November 2016

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe organisational strategies that support early career researchers in building a successful track record which can lead to a successful academic research career.Design/methodology/approachThis paper draws on more than a decade of experience designing, implementing and evaluating professional development programmes for early career researchers in universities.FindingsIf an early career researcher is to achieve long-term success, the first five years after graduating with a doctorate are critical in establishing long-term career success. Professional development programmes for early career researchers are more successful if they are supported by organisational strategies around workload, performance management and accountability.Originality/valueIf implemented, these organisational strategies can assist early career researchers to build a successful track record, which can lead to a successful research career and contribute towards increasing aggregate institutional research performance for universities.
Consumption values, destination cues and nostalgia on the attitude in the selection of destination for educational tourism: the mediating role of destination image
Authors: Rahman Muhammad Sabbir , Osmangani AAhad M. , Hassan Hasliza , Anwar Md. Aftab , Fattah Fadi Abdel Muniem Abdel 
Published: November 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between consumption values (CV), destination cues (DC), nostalgia and attitude in the selection of destination for educational tourism, and the mediating effect of destination image (DI).

Design/methodology/approach
The research applied descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling techniques. The study tested the reliability and validity of the measurement model through CFA, Cronbach’s α and inter-correlation analyses. This research applied the structural equation model to examine the relationship between the research variables using 250 foreign students.

Findings
The results of data analysis support the stated hypotheses. All the direct relationships were significant and positive. However, DI found a partial mediating role among the relationships. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

Research limitations/implications
From this research the tourism researchers, policymakers and managers of the respective higher learning institution may develop a complete understanding of the antecedents of attitude formation of the edu-tourists which were not even studied before from the perspective of educational tourism.

Originality/value
To date, there have been few empirical studies examining the attitude of the edu-tourists in the selection of a destination for educational tourism. Therefore, understanding the purpose of CV, DC and nostalgia in a tourist’s decision-making operation, and their theoretical relationship, will make both scientific and practical contributions.
