Authors: Khedmat Hossein , Ghamar-Chehreh Mohammad Ebrahim , Amini Mohsen , Taheri Saeed 
Published: June 2013

Context Despite the high frequency of liver transplants in infants, few data are available on the characteristics of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders in liver transplant patients (PTLD). Objective To analyze special features and behavior of PTLD arising after liver transplant in infants. Methods A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted for the available data on PTLD in infant liver transplant recipients through PubMed and Google scholar. An infant was defined as a liver recipient who was less than 2 years old at the time of transplant. Overall, 205 cases of PTLD were found in 24 reports, and the 100 infants with PTLD were compared with children and adults with PTLD. Results PTLD lesions in infants were more likely to be polymorphic whereas monomorphic lesions were more prevalent among older patients ( P= .05). Remission rates, metastasis frequency, and organ involvement did not differ significantly between the groups. Survival analysis showed that the infants had a significantly better outcome than did older patients ( P = .05). Conclusion PTLD is more benign and may have a better outcome in infant liver transplant recipients than in older recipients. A prospective multicenter approach is needed for future research studies.

AbstractObjectiveThe results of studies concerning levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in adolescent children with a parent suffering from cancer as compared with control groups or normative data are contradictory so far. Longitudinal designs using control groups are rare. No study explicitly exploring a broad range of risk behaviors in adolescent children with a parent suffering from cancer exists to date.MethodsTherefore, 74 adolescents who have a parent with cancer (index group) were compared with 75 adolescents with healthy parents (control group) concerning several juvenile risk behaviors and externalizing behaviors. Participants were examined three times over the course of 12 months.ResultsNo significant main effects for group or interactional effects of group with time could be found for any of the measured variables.ConclusionsResults suggest that the somatic illness of the parent is not a developmental risk that is expressed in increased levels of juvenile risk behavior. Adolescents with a parent suffering from cancer adjusted generally quite well to the parental illness, although some individuals did show signs of severe strain.

The current and future role of business schools
Authors: Rayment John , Smith Jonathan 
Published: June 2013

PurposeConsiderable debate since the global financial crisis has been evident concerning the role of business schools. This article aims to outline the authors’ research on their role.Design/methodology/approachThe paper begins with an overview of the significant literature highlighting the current debates impacting on business schools and their leaders. From this the authors argue that the most significant challenge is the role business schools should play in the resolution of urgent global issues. The paper then details and analyses the research and provides recommendations.FindingsThe authors argue that the most significant challenge is the role business schools should play in the resolution of urgent global issues. The main finding from the research was that the leaders of participating business schools did not convey the impression that steering business toward helping humanity achieve a sustainable future and tackling urgent global issues was seen by them as one of their main current or future roles.Research limitations/implicationsFunding constraints and the desire to make a timely contribution to the debate mean that this research is limited in scale. It is therefore viewed as a scoping study, paving the way for more detailed investigation and analysis, and recommendations for further research are provided.Originality/valueThe authors argue that, rather than make the same mistakes as the West, BRIC economies and related business school leaders should be looking for an alternative strategy that would lead to a just, sustainable and fulfilling human presence on the planet. The authors also suggest that Type 1 European business schools are well advised to focus their limited resources locally but should be aware of global issues and bear them in mind in their actions.
Salesperson coachability: what it is and why it matters
Authors: Shannahan Kirby L.J. , Shannahan Rachelle J. , Bush Alan J. 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of salesperson coachability and to propose potential relationships between it and sales coaching and sales performance.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper reviews the sales coaching and sales performance literature to highlight how the knowledge of each may be enhanced by the coachability construct. The concept of athletic coachability is then introduced to explain why it should be adapted and applied to salespeople in a personal selling context.FindingsAdapting and applying the concept of athlete coachability to salespeople in a personal selling context may provide sales management practitioners and academics a better understanding of how certain salesperson personality traits combine and interact with certain situational influences to impact sales performance.Research limitations/implicationsFuture studies need to test the propositions advanced.Practical implicationsSalesperson coachability may be used by sales managers as a screening criterion for sales force recruiting and retention.Social implicationsSalesperson coachability assessments for recruiting and training may result in lowering job turnover.Originality/valueThis paper introduces the concept of athletic coachability to the sales literature, argues why the concept should be adapted and applied to salespeople in a personal selling context, and advances testable propositions with respect to its expected relationship with sales coaching and sales performance.
Finding out about social care: what information seekers want
Authors: Bright Les , Clarke Alison , Dalley Gillian 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThe research reported here aims to explore the problems facing individuals searching for information about available options in choosing care services.Design/methodology/approachIt presents data drawn from an on‐line survey, follow‐up telephone calls and a focus group, which reveals the preferences people have in searching for information about care services and the difficulties encountered.FindingsIt finds that people need information but find it complicated, unwieldy and inaccessible. In addition to using on‐line sources, they value person‐to‐person contact and information tailored to meet their specific needs.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is original in raising issues and presenting findings that open up the topic of information in care decision‐making. While it relies on a self‐reporting survey and the direct participation of a small number of subjects, future research based on random sampling and a larger sample of subjects would enable these findings to be tested more thoroughly.Practical implicationsHigh quality, accurate information is an essential element in enabling individuals to make appropriate choices about the care they seek for themselves or their loved ones. Service providers, councils and commercial undertakings each have a part to play in facilitating that choice.Social implicationsThis research highlights issues that confront both information searcher and provider, making recommendations about overcoming them. The concept of individual choice is a cornerstone of social policy but findings reveal the complexity facing individuals, providers and practitioners in making this a reality.Originality/valueThe importance of information in making decisions about care is under‐researched; this study raises issues and presents findings which open the topic for further exploration.
SOS: a relational orientation towards social inclusion
Authors: Denham‐Vaughan Sally , Chidiac Marie‐Anne 
Published: June 2013

PurposeRelational approaches have become fashionable in a variety of areas from organisational to clinical interventions, however the practical implications of such approaches are still misunderstood. This paper aims to define what we mean by “relational” and explores how understanding and practising a specific type of relational approach is necessary to truly promote social inclusion and recovery. Design/methodology/approach – A hypothetical case study is described giving a practical illustration of how a relational approach would be used in the context of the provision of socially inclusive mental health services.FindingsThe paper makes the case for a relational and socially inclusive approach to change. A three‐pronged “SOS” model calling attention to the exploration of Self, Other and Situation is outlined. Most importantly, the model attempts to balance the complex and varying needs of clients, others and the wider situation/community/organisation, as opposed to primarily focussing on individual “fault/lack”.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper relies on self‐report methods from a relatively small number of individuals.Originality/valueThe paper challenges a still predominant individualistic paradigm to change. Instead it suggests the need to redirect attention to clients’ existing relational supports to effect quicker and more sustainable change.
FDA and the role of e‐cigarettes in harm reduction
Authors: Wilcox Neil L. , Kovacevic Patricia I. 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThis article aims to provide an informed overview of the current policy and upcoming e‐cigarette legislation, and their impact on the potential for harm reduction in the tobacco products arena in the USA. The article argues in favor of reasonable regulatory options supportive of harm reduction, and which take into consideration the realities of the emerging US e‐cigarette market.Design/methodology/approachThe authors consider the recent refocus on harm reduction potential in the e‐cigarettes, which are growing in popularity but will be soon subject to potentially very restrictive regulation. This article provides an overview of selected, relevant provisions of the US tobacco product regulatory framework as it may soon apply to e‐cigarettes, not only for the benefit of the tobacco harm reduction debate, but also to global stakeholders, as well.FindingsFDA needs strong leadership to avoid current political pressures to label all tobacco products as equally dangerous, vilify nicotine and deny a reasonable approach to harm reduction that promotes the benefits of reduced risk as a legitimate approach to better health. Admittedly, more research is needed before a final assessment can be made on the population‐level health benefits of e‐cigarettes.Originality/valueThis article provides an informed view of US e‐cigarette industry regulatory challenges by two industry regulatory experts, and an overview of possible e‐cigarette regulatory outcomes in the USA, in light of the US Food and Drug Administration announcement that such regulation is to be expected shortly.
Tobacco control, harm reduction and the problem of pleasure
Authors: Bell Kirsten 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThis article examines the relationship between tobacco control and tobacco harm reduction, illuminating the differences and similarities between them.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on published sources, the author conducts a critical analysis of the prevailing discourses on tobacco control and tobacco harm reduction.FindingsAlthough tobacco control and tobacco harm reduction differ in their views on the resolutions to the tobacco “problem”, they manifest similar underlying assumptions about the nature of “the smoker” and are equally silent on the topic of pleasure.Originality/valueThis article emphasises the need for tobacco harm reduction to take pleasure seriously and highlights the limitations of approaches focused exclusively on risk and harm reduction.
The wine consumption preferences of young people: a Spanish case study
Authors: Garcia Teresa , Barrena Ramo , Grande Ildefonso 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThis paper aims to analyze the current wine consumption situation with special attention being paid to the habits and preferences of young consumers.Design/methodology/approachThe study was carried out on a sample of 318 consumers; 50 per cent of the sample were under the age of 35 and 50 per cent were older. The information gathered was then subjected to the appropriate statistical tests. The lifestyles and images of wine consumption of those surveyed was first looked at, followed by the results obtained related to consumption of drinks such as water, fruit juice, soft drinks, beer and, of course, wine.FindingsLifestyles are changing and the results found here indicate that the under‐35s are concerned about their health and to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This is reflected in a certain negative view of wine with its consumption being reserved for special occasions. With regard to knowledge of Denominacion de Origen, the results are pointing out that a small sector of the under‐35 group had only a vague notion of its meaning. This situation suggests a need for promotional activity by business and institutions aimed at increasing the knowledge of young people have of wine.Originality/valueThis study offers information to the wine industry for the improvement of young consumers' knowledge of the meaning of Denominacion de Origen as a guarantee of the origin of a product and of its quality.
An appraisal of United Nations and other money laundering and financing of terrorism counter‐measures
Authors: Mugarura Norman 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThe purpose of the paper was to examine the challenges inherent in harnessing the UN and other AML counter‐measures, paying particular attention to the United Nations Resolutions on countering financing of terrorism and why the UN Security Resolutions have not been easy to invoke. As regards other AML counter‐measures, the paper examined the legal status of soft law instruments, articulating the possible reasons why they are easy to implement.Design/methodology/approachThe paper was written by the analysis of UN and other AML counter‐measures – which were evaluated in the gaze of how they have been implemented across states. While states are under an obligation to implement UN AML counter‐measures such as international treaties and soft law instruments, private banks as non‐state actors have exploited some loopholes in the law to flaunt them. This has undermined the efficacy of global AML counter‐measures. Many banks have been fined for violating UN sanctions on countries like Iran and Sudan. These examples were utilized in appraising the current UN and other AML counter‐measures across states.FindingsThe findings of the paper were compelling in demonstrating that global anti‐money laundering laws are often emasculated by the fact that they are implemented in the realm of international law. International law manifests itself within independent member states' vested strategic self‐interests. In the event of conflicts, national self‐interests will prevail. But again, money laundering is an opportunistic crime because it generates both synergies and externalities and the response of individual states often depends on how it is affected by it. It is wrong to assume as doing things in the realm of international law is not as easy as it is presumed to be.Research limitations/implicationsIt would have been better to carry out interviews so as to corroborate secondary data sources used in writing this paper. But due to some constraints, this option was not possible. It would also have been better to undertake the analysis of data based on a large sample of countries rather than cherry picking. While implementing AML counter‐measures in the realm of international law is necessary to foster international co‐operation, there are still some loopholes that need to be paid more attention.Originality/valueThe paper was written, analysed and evaluated based on the most recent literature on implementation of UN and other AML counter‐measures across countries. It also utilized the recent cases involving violations of UN AML counter‐measures by banks on sanctioned countries such as Iran and Sudan.

Authors: Roblek Vasja , Pejić Bach Mirjana , Meško Maja , Bertoncelj Andrej 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the significance of Web 2.0 and social media for organizational development and adaptation to an ever‐changing business environment and its successful managing. A model is proposed based on the concepts of innovative economy, knowledge management and social media for value creation in knowledge‐based industries.Design/methodology/approachThe paper examines critical factors that influence the role of social media in organizational change and value creation in knowledge‐based industries.FindingsThe paper contributes to discussion about the increasingly important role of social media in the value added chain in knowledge‐based industries.Research limitations/implicationsSocial media are still an emerging phenomenon and further studies are required to investigate these relationships over a longer period of time.Practical implicationsThe topic is relevant for designing corporate strategies in knowledge‐based companies becoming a part of global networks. Better understanding of the impact of social media on value added could significantly enhance both the top and bottom lines.Originality/valueThe paper explores when and why the inexpensive, but increasingly wider, use of social media in knowledge‐based industries is preferred to traditional media. This paper intends to give executives practical hands‐on advice for using social media in business campaigns.
The influence of internal organisational factors on corporate‐community partnership agendas
Authors: Glennie Miriam , Lodhia Sumit 
Published: June 2013

PurposeCorporate‐community partnerships, the collaboration between business and community groups, have risen to prominence recently. This paper seeks to examine how internal organisational factors affect the agenda of corporate‐community partnerships.Design/methodology/approachThe internal factors considered in this research were the processes involved in the partnerships' agenda development and the attitudes of participating members towards the partnership and its social or environmental goals. Interviews were conducted with representatives from both the corporate and community members of two major partnerships in Australia.FindingsThe findings suggest that internal organisational processes and attitudes affect five major features of the partnerships' agenda: form, target, scope, stability and sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe study proposes a framework for understanding how internal organizational factors affect the various features of agenda formation in corporate‐community partnerships.Practical implicationsThis research provides a practical understanding of corporate‐community partnerships in relation to the influences on agenda formation, and would be useful to both corporations and stakeholders, especially community groups.Social implicationsThis study stresses the increasing importance of corporate‐community partnerships and suggests that government policies should encourage the development of such partnerships.Originality/valueThe paper examines the influences on the agenda formation of corporate‐community partnerships through the voices of corporations and community groups.
Structural breaks in the parameter estimates of the determinants of capital structure
Authors: Chipeta Chimwemwe , Wolmarans Hendrik P. , Vermaak Frans N.S. , Proudfoot Stacey 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThis paper aims to test the effects of financial reforms on the structural stability of the parameter estimates in the determinants of capital structure.Design/methodology/approachA panel of 100 non‐financial companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is constructed, and a panel least squares estimation technique is used to test for lagged, current and leading structural breaks in the firm specific determinants of leverage.FindingsThe results show that structural reforms have a significant role in influencing the empirical relationship between leverage and its determinants. Specifically, the lifting of international sanctions and stock market liberalisation have a significant impact on the stability of the profitability, growth and tax rate variables for the book and market values of the debt to equity ratio. Furthermore, when the total and short term debt ratios are considered, only stock market liberalisation appears to have a significant influence on the stability of the profitability parameter.Originality/valueThis paper adds to the existing body of literature on capital structure by documenting the extent of structural breaks in the parameter estimates of the relationship between leverage and firm specific determinants of capital structure for listed non‐financial firms in South Africa.
Setting up global mobility strategies
Authors: Maes Sophie 
Published: June 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify some of the legal issues that HR professionals may face when seconding talent internationally for work assignments and offer advice on how to overcome the challenges involved.Design/methodology/approachBest practices are outlined to help avoid legal issues when seconding talent to other countries. The guidance offered is based on private practice experience of almost 15 years in employment and global mobility issues and studies of case law and jurisprudence with regard to global mobility.FindingsSeconding employees abroad can be a complex and confusing process. Assumptions should be avoided and care taken to investigate the legal and tax implications in each country. A global mobility strategy should be put in place to ensure proper procedures are applied.Originality/valueThe best practice provided in this paper will be useful to HR professionals with employees working across the globe, as it takes a global view of talent mobility.
