Abstract
The Indian readiness to engage in prolonged negotiation derives at least partly from its bureaucratic and political culture. Interestingly, the willingness of Indian negotiators to bide their time in international bargaining predates India's rise to power, and is only partially driven by strategic considerations. Rather, speed is often regarded as haste and associated with a failure to follow due process. Both the existence of this long shadow of the future and the particular ways in which it is conceptualized and translated into the negotiation process need explaining. This chapter investigates how negotiators (in the Mahabharata and the present day) interpret the culture-specific notion of time, focusing on the extent to which references to the past are used and allowed to influence negotiations, and further the responsiveness of negotiators to time pressures and deadlines.

AbstractChapter 1 introduces the field of performance studies and argues that Christian communities interpret Scripture in the performance of worship and Christian life. Performance is characterized as event, interaction, and doubleness. Using both the analysis of performance studies and the analogy between church and theatre, this chapter argues that Christians perform the Bible in several different senses: from performing a set script to performing a commandment to performing ourselves as people shaped by this text. All of these different kinds of performance are ways in which communities interpret the Bible. Christian communities interpret Scripture through embodied, communal performance of worship and life. This chapter also outlines a performative anthropology (human identity is formed in multidirectional interactions that include biology, culture, and relationships over time), a performative epistemology (we know in our whole selves, including body, emotion, intellect, and will), and a performative hermeneutic (Christians interpret Scripture in and through performance).
Striking the Set

AbstractFinally, chapter 5 brings together Karl Barth and Peter Brook to consider the possible problems of theatrical and performative views of church, and to develop an understanding of emptiness as necessary to worship that longs for the Spirit of God. The performance of church occurs in hope of the Spirit. Our performances cannot control the Spirit, but rather help us to be open and attuned to the Spirit’s presence and movement. Through a discipline of emptiness, we clear away the No-Gods of our own creation, repent of our arrogance, and hope for something far more than our own strivings. We hope to be taken up, to be allowed in on the action, to participate in the movement of the Spirit.
The overdue promise of short tandem repeat variation for heritability
Authors: Press Maximilian O. , Carlson Keisha D. , Queitsch Christine 
Published: June 2014

AbstractShort tandem repeat (STR) variation has been proposed as a major explanatory factor in the heritability of complex traits in humans and model organisms. However, we still struggle to incorporate STR variation into genotype-phenotype maps. Here, we review the promise of STRs in contributing to complex trait heritability, and highlight the challenges that STRs pose due to their repetitive nature. We argue that STR variants are more likely than single nucleotide variants to have epistatic interactions, reiterate the need for targeted assays to accurately genotype STRs, and call for more appropriate statistical methods in detecting STR-phenotype associations. Lastly, somatic STR variation within individuals may serve as a read-out of disease susceptibility, and is thus potentially a valuable covariate for future association studies.
Regulation and strategic group dynamics of the Nigerian telecommunications industry
Authors: Oladipo Adejuwon Olawale 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– In order to achieve a desirable level of market efficiency, regulators need to identify the strategic groups within an industry and understand the way the constituent groups relate to one another. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– In the current study, factors that may lead to strategic group formation were developed and used as clustering variables in ak-means cluster statistical analysis to categorize the firms into strategic groups. The factors used are entry costs, timing of entry, technology type and scope of operations. In addition, the number and type of competitive actions employed by the firms in the industry were identified by structured content analysis of a public source. The competitive actions were used to examine the dynamics of the resulting groups within the context of competitive behavior, resource and scope commitments and corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions. In addition,χ2 analysis was employed to ascertain the likelihood that actions of a firm will be responded to by firms from the same group or from outside the group.Findings– License fees was found to be the most significant clustering variable. The study also showed that groups with significantly higher license fees carried out considerably more competitive actions, had higher resource and scope commitments and executed more CSR actions. In addition, the study revealed significantly more competition within strategic groups than between groups.Research limitations/implications– The absence of financial records for firms in the sample necessitated the use of CSR activity as a measure of firm performance. Some empirical studies have shown strong links between CSR and firm performance.Practical implications– The study revealed high mobility barriers which prevent ease of movement of firms in the industry from one strategic group to the other. Therefore regulators who wish to promote competition must do so by identifying the strategic groups with significant market power and permitting entry not by lowering entry barriers but by allowing the entry of firms with proven resources similar to the firms in those groups and to stipulate similar commitments in entry conditions. The results also offer management practitioners an insight into competitive behavior in the industry.Originality/value– The study utilized a unique data set (competitive actions of firms in the Nigerian Telecommunications industry as reported in the media) in contributing to empirical studies on competitive dynamics and strategic group literature.
Personality traits and simultaneous reciprocal influences between job performance and job satisfaction
Authors: Yang Cheng-Liang , Hwang Mark 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– This paper aims to test the relationships among three important variables in the management of Chinese employees: personality trait, job performance and job satisfaction. A causal model is developed to hypothesize how personality trait affects job performance and satisfaction and how job performance and satisfaction simultaneously affect each other.Design/methodology/approach– The survey was conducted from October to November 2009. In total, 414 questionnaires were distributed and 392 were returned. Using data collected, the theoretical model is empirically validated. Structural equation modelling using LISREL 8.8 is used to test the causal model.Findings– Job performance and job satisfaction have a bilateral relationship that is simultaneously influential. All Big Five personality traits significantly influence job performance, with agreeableness showing the greatest effect, followed by extraversion. Extraversion is the only personality trait that shows a significant influence over job satisfaction.Originality/value– This study contributes to the literature by clarifying the inconsistent findings of causal relationship between job performance and job satisfaction in previous studies. Another contribution is testing the effect of personality traits on job performance and job satisfaction in a simultaneous reciprocal model. A hybrid theory of expectance and equity is advanced in this study to explain the results.

Published: June 2014

Purpose– The aim of this paper, considering the two types of networks and the scope of power from structural holes, is to clarify the relationship between employees’ performance and their social network structure in Chinese small and medium enterprises from the whole-network perspective. The complicated relationship in Chinese culture requires human resource management (HRM) practitioners to be aware of the implications of social network.Design/methodology/approach– An empirical research approach is used in this paper. Using the cluster sampling method, authors collected 118 employees’ characteristic data and network data by face-to-face interviews through structured questionnaire survey, and also got their performance data from the financial department, which support correlation analysis and OLS regression analysis.Findings– First, informal network, but not formal network, has a significant impact on employees’ performance. Second, individual performance of brokerage is greater for direct than indirect contacts. Finally, broker-of-brokers will be the winner in the competition.Originality/value– First, previous research focuses on egocentric network as the difficulty of data collection, while this paper analyzes a whole network based on the real social network. Second, this paper reveals the network structure mode where individuals get benefits. Third, it also uncovers the effect of relationship type on employees’ performance in Chinese SME. Finally, this paper identifies the status homophily and status crystallization phenomenon in the process of social network formation.
Prediction of convective heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid considering particle migration using neural network
Authors: Bahiraei Mehdi , Mostafa Hosseinalipour Seyed , Hangi Morteza 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to attempt to investigate the particle migration effects on nanofluid heat transfer considering Brownian and thermophoretic forces. It also tries to develop a model for prediction of the convective heat transfer coefficient.

Design/methodology/approach
– A modified form of the single-phase approach was used in which an equation for mass conservation of particles, proposed by Buongiorno, has been added to the other conservation equations. Due to the importance of temperature in particle migration, temperature-dependent properties were applied. In addition, neural network was used to predict the convective heat transfer coefficient.

Findings
– At greater volume fractions, the effect of wall heat flux change was more significant on nanofluid heat transfer coefficient, whereas this effect decreased at higher Reynolds numbers. The average convective heat transfer coefficient raised by increasing the Reynolds number and volume fraction. Considering the particle migration effects, higher heat transfer coefficient was obtained and also the concentration at the tube center was higher in comparison with the wall vicinity. Furthermore, the proposed neural network model predicted the heat transfer coefficient with great accuracy.

Originality/value
– A review of the literature shows that in the single-phase approach, uniform concentration distribution has been used and the effects of particle migration have not been considered. In this study, nanofluid heat transfer was simulated by adding an equation to the conservation equations to consider particle migration. The effects of Brownian and thermophoretic forces have been considered in the energy equation. Moreover, a model is proposed for prediction of convective heat transfer coefficient.
Does employee-perceived reputation contribute to citizenship behavior?
Authors: Fu Hui , Li Yaoqi , Duan Yanhong 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to propose and verify a research model that investigates the mediating role of organizational commitment on the relationship between hotel employee-perceived reputation and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs).Design/methodology/approach– Based on the data obtained from a sample of 323 hotel employees in China, the reliability, validity and hypothesized relationships in the model were tested through structural equation modeling using LISREL 8.70.Findings– Empirical results show that different dimensions of corporate reputation affect OCBs differently. Social responsibility reputation has both direct and indirect effects on OCBs, while there is no direct link between employee-treatment reputation and OCBs. The relationship between corporate reputation and OCBs is mediated by organizational commitment.Practical implications– Hotel managers should pay more attention to employee perception of the hotel’s reputation. Reputation management is as important as reputation building. Favorable perception of hotel’s reputation contributes to positive behavioral intentions.Originality/value– Most recent research has explored the relationship between corporate reputation and customer behaviors. However, few studies take employee perception of reputation into consideration. This study tried to fill this void. Also, this study contributes to the current knowledge of both the reputation literature and citizenship literature by exploring the mediation of organizational commitment on the relationship between employee-perceived reputation and citizenship behaviors through data obtained from Chinese hotels.
Do affluent customers care when luxury brands go mass?
Authors: Yang Wan , S. Mattila Anna 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– This paper aims to examine the joint effects of product type (hospitality services vs goods) and consumers’ need for status (low/Patricians vs high/Parvenus) on consumers’ attitude change toward their favorite luxury brands. As an ever increasing number of customers can now afford luxury products, it is important to understand how affluent consumers react to the less affluent mimicking behaviors.Design/methodology/approach– In all, 265 luxury consumers with annual household income of more than $100,000 and experiences of luxury consumption in the past three months were recruited. A 2 (product type) × 2 (need for status) factorial design was used to test the hypotheses.Findings– This study demonstrates that when faced with mimicking behaviors by less affluent consumers, Parvenus exhibit more negative attitude toward their favorite luxury goods brands than luxury hospitality brands. Conversely, Patricians exhibit similar levels of attitude change across the two types of luxury brands.Practical implications– The findings suggest that luxury hospitality companies may find it easier to expand to less affluent markets than their luxury goods counterparts, in particular when the majority of target consumers are Parvenus.Originality/value– To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine consumers’ reactions to mimicking behaviors by the less affluent in the context of luxury hospitality services, and it adds to the knowledge on the joint effects of product type and status seeking on luxury consumption.
Festival attendees’ motivations: the case of International Troia Festival
Authors: Duran Erol , Hamarat Bahattin 
Published: June 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate underlying motivational dimensions of visitors attending the International Troia Festival (ITF), Çanakkale, Turkey.

Design/methodology/approach
– Surveys with 26 items on six motivational dimensions were empirically tested. Data were collected by a self-administered survey. The study sample comprised attendees of particular festival events which were suitable for survey practice in the ITF lasting for five days. The participants of the survey were the attendees of two theater shows, two conferences, and two folk dance shows. A total of 473 usable forms were obtained from the visitors and processed in the analysis.

Findings
– Significant differences and relations in motivational dimensions were found on the basis of visitors’ socio-demographic origins. Female visitors are more likely to attend festival events with high motivation of family togetherness and cultural exploration. Also male visitors are more likely to attend the events with more motivation of event attraction and escape and excitement than family togetherness. Motivation of cultural exploration is also high for all socio-demographic groups of festival visitors. Thereby, cultural exploration and family togetherness are also highly important for attendees. The basic theme of the ITF was identified as a cultural festival which essentially motivates visitors to attend particularly for cultural exploration.

Research limitations/implications
– The findings of this paper solely reflect the motivational dimensions identified during a Turkish festival with a cultural lifestyle.

Practical implications
– The field research of the study demonstrates the application of methodology by event managers to gain better understanding into visitor motivation, satisfaction, behavioral intention, event organization, and event theme.

Originality/value
– The important theoretical contribution of the study is in the area of establishing a meaningful and empirical relation between motivation of festivals and cultural structure of community as part of the perceived socio-cultural impacts of festivals. This implies and empirically substantiates the common belief that festivals and events can be instrumental in enriching cultural life.
Using a multiple-informant approach in SCM research
Authors: Kaufmann Lutz , Astou Saw Aischa 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to review the current state of survey-based SCM research that employs a multiple-informant perspective. Recommendations on how to rigorously conduct such research are developed, strengths and limitations discussed, and opportunities for advancing the discipline through this approach identified.Design/methodology/approach– A systematic literature review (SLR) of 1,048 articles published in five leading SCM journals within a seven-year time frame is conducted.Findings– The review shows that multiple-informant studies are still largely under-represented. Yet this approach more accurately depicts the multi-faceted nature of SCM. Specific requirements of this approach need to be considered throughout the research process, from unit of analysis, sampling frame, and data collection to analytic strategy.Research limitations/implications– Taking into account the often complex, dynamic actor networks in which SCM phenomena are embedded may provide new insights, especially when controversial results have been found. This approach may also enrich the understanding of phenomena that have previously been examined only from a monadic perspective.Originality/value– The paper examines the low incidence of multiple-informant survey research in SCM, discusses how its application can advance the field, and provides guidance on how to effectively apply this approach to more fully understand complex SCM phenomena. It further shows that studies using multiple informants yield novel theoretical insights and valuable recommendations for decision makers on how to use the interfaces between different actors across functional and organizational borders.

Subsequently, it briefly outlines the epistemological and theoretical anchors that guided the development of the proposed method. Then it follows the path and the peculiarities of this method. And finally a few guidelines are presented for the legitimization of the knowledge generated, illustrated by an example.Findings– The proposed method is aimed at experienced practitioners who are involved in a process of scientific research. Ideally, it is carried out with a co-searcher.Originality/value– A new method of qualitative research to explore new avenues in management science.
Appropriation or participation of the individual in knowledge management
Authors: D.W. Rechberg Isabel , Syed Jawad 
Published: June 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine whether there is a tendency towards appropriation or participation of the individual in the literature of knowledge management (KM).Design/methodology/approach– This is a literature review paper. In terms of approach, appropriation in this paper is referred to as the KM tasks assigned to individual employees by the management whereas participation is referred to as KM tasks determined jointly by individuals and management.Findings– The review suggests that while the participation of individuals is seen as important for KM, the KM discourse is visibly oriented towards the appropriation of individual employees and their knowledge for better economic performance of organisations. The review suggests that an appropriation of the individual in KM serves neither employees nor organisations, and that individual employees are meant to be valued participants in the development and management of knowledge.Research limitations/implications– The paper is concerned with the KM literature to study the appropriation or participation of individual employees in the discourse on KM. Consequently other streams of literature that address individual employees’ participation are excluded from this study.Originality/value– The paper initiates a new research agenda for KM where the emphasis shifts from the appropriation to the participation of the individual in the discourse on KM practices.
