Entrepreneurial team locus of control: diversity and trust
Authors: Saud Khan Mohammad , J. Breitenecker Robert , J. Schwarz Erich 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine how internal locus of control (LOC) as a well-established entrepreneurial personality trait at team level impacts team performance (effectiveness and efficiency) in Austria. In addition, it investigates the interaction effects of LOC diversity and affective trust on the internal LOC-performance relationship.Design/methodology/approach– Data originated from 44 entrepreneurial teams based in nine business incubators in Austria. Partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modelling was used to estimate the model.Findings– Results indicate that higher internal LOC at team level promotes entrepreneurial team effectiveness and efficiency. However, team efficiency is increased when such teams possess a high internal LOC and low LOC diversity. Affective trust is identified as a crucial component in enhancing entrepreneurial team effectiveness, especially when the team has a high internal LOC.Originality/value– This study extends research on internal LOC at team level by investigating it as a predictor of entrepreneurial team effectiveness and efficiency. Second, it systematically analyses if and how diversity in internal LOC affects team performance in an entrepreneurial team context. The paper takes a pioneering step by testing a key methodological contribution of addressing the inherent bias in measuring diversity of small teams. Finally, it is one of the first studies to show not only the importance of affect in general, but also the trust based on affect for entrepreneurial team dynamics.
Perceptions of intellectual capital held by the supervisors of nursing divisions in hospitals in Taiwan
Authors: Chang Hsin-Yuan , Wu Ming-Yu , Sheu Dwan-Fang 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore how the nursing division supervisors at hospitals perceive intellectual capital (IC) and identify the relative importance of IC factors.

Design/methodology/approach
– Using literature review combined with experts’ viewpoints, IC is divided into four main structures and adopted them as the measurement criteria. A set of criteria that measure the hospital nursing division's IC was established using the Fuzzy Delphi Method, by the expert questionnaire given out to nursing division supervisors at large-scale teaching hospitals.

Findings
– The research results will hopefully help the management of medical institutions make decisions and input more resources in the “structural capital” perspective of their respective nursing divisions.

Originality/value
– Hospitals in Taiwan may improve in performance and medical services quality.
How mindfulness and acquisition experience affect acquisition performance
Authors: Hutzschenreuter Thomas , Kleindienst Ingo , Schmitt Michael 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to provide insights to the impact of acquisition experience from prior acquisitions on the performance of subsequent ones. The authors base the analysis on the concept of mindfulness which has recently gained increasing attention in organizational learning theory. The aim is to extend prior research on mindfulness in organizational learning by empirically addressing how mindfulness in knowledge transfer affects task performance in the context of a rare organizational event, i.e. an acquisition, and how it is moderated by the conditions surrounding that event.Design/methodology/approach– Employing a path-related approach, the authors analyzed large acquisitions of multiple US acquirers in a sequence to be able to clearly identify feedback from preceding acquisitions on subsequent ones. The authors adopt individual acquisition events as the unit of analysis to demonstrate the effect of mindfulness on task performance, and follow the widely used approach of measuring acquisition performance by abnormal stock market returns around the time of an acquisition announcement.Findings– The analysis reveals an alternating relationship between an acquirer's acquisition experience and its acquisition performance. This relationship is positively moderated by an acquirer's cash reserves and by the temporal spacing of its acquisitions, but negatively moderated by an acquirer's market-to-book value.Originality/value– Path-related approaches are rarely used in the mergers & acquisitions literature. The paper is based on the concept of mindfulness and identifies an up to now unrecognized pattern in the performance of multiple acquisitions.
Organizational slack, experience, and acquisition behavior across varying economic environments
Authors: Alessandri Todd , Cerrato Daniele , Depperu Donatella 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of the organizational slack and acquisition experience on acquisition behavior across varying environmental conditions. Drawing from behavioral theory and the threat-rigidity hypothesis, the paper explores firm acquisition behavior, in terms of type of acquisitions, before and during the recent economic downturn.Design/methodology/approach– Using data on 385 acquisitions in Italy in the period 2007-2010, the paper tests hypotheses on how organizational slack and acquisition experience influence the likelihood of cross-border and diversifying acquisitions relative to domestic, non-diversifying acquisitions prior to and during the economic downturn.Findings– Results suggest that the availability of financial resources and acquisition experience both have an important influence on acquisition behavior. Firms with greater slack and acquisition experience were more likely to make diversifying and/or cross-border acquisitions, compared to domestic non-diversifying acquisitions, particularly during an economic downturn, than firms with lower levels of slack and acquisition experience.Originality/value– The paper extends behavioral theory and threat-rigidity hypothesis, highlighting their applicability to acquisition behavior across varying economic conditions. Slack resources and acquisition experience appear to be particularly salient during challenging economic times.
Effective communication for project success
Authors: Frank Cervone H. 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this review is to look at some of the common mistakes made related to communication within a project and how those mistakes can be avoided. Communication in projects is a critical factor in a project’s success. Many times, project teams forget some basic rules for communicating with their stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach
– The approach of this paper is to provide a general overview of common themes in the project management literature related to communication within projects.

Findings
– While communication failures in projects are caused by many factors, the project team ultimately bears the burden for ensuring successful communication within a project. There are several common causes of communication failures. Thankfully, there are also some simple things that project teams can do to lessen the likelihood of miscommunication.

Research limitations/implications
– As this is a general overview, this article only explores the more commonly experienced issues related to project miscommunication.

Originality/value
– By observing some relatively easy to remember questions and concerns related to communication, a project team can be more effective in communicating with their project stakeholders. Effective communication will generally lead to better outcomes and, therefore, a higher likelihood for overall project success.
Continuous 3D-printing for additive manufacturing
Authors: Günther Daniel , Heymel Bastian , Franz Günther Johannes , Ederer Ingo 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to present the results that can be achieved using continuous three-dimensional (3D) printing technology.

Design/methodology/approach
– In the first section, conventional additive manufacturing and continuous 3D-printing are described and compared against each other. Essential is the new approach to coat the particulate material and to print it on a tilted surface. For this special setup, theoretical considerations for sources of distortions are given. These considerations define the design of the test parts. For the evaluation of a tilted setup a prototype using large dimensions is shown. Of special interest is the exact transportation using a large mass of particulate material.

Findings
– The 3D-printing principle is suitable for tilted surfaces, making production without any downtime possible. The parts produced using the prototype continuous 3D-printer have sufficient accuracy for foundry use, although various considerations and the setup show that angular deflections can be caused by inaccuracies in the feeding system.

Research limitations/implications
– The parts’ accuracy is additionally affected by the thickness of unbound particle material under the building area. The amount of unbound particle material is of a constructive nature. Thus, the setup is limiting the investigations. Using the current material system, the printing should take place as near to the conveyor belt as possible.

Practical implications
– This paper outlines which kind of parts can be manufactured using continuous 3D-printing.

Originality/value
– This article shows a first evaluation of parts printed using continuous 3D-printing. It gives a perspective on future designs from rapid prototyping machines based on these principles and shows the possible benefits. The change over from rapid prototyping to rapid manufacturing will be strongly accelerated by said machine design.

Authors: de Oliveira Setti Grazielle , Fernandes de Oliveira Marcelo , Alves Maia Izaque , Vicente Lopes da Silva Jorge , Joanni Ednan 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to demonstrate the functionalization of polyamide parts made by selective laser sintering (SLS) for application as substrates for chemical analysis by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).

Design/methodology/approach
– Fabrication of Nylon 12 (Duraform PA®) samples using two laser power levels and deposition of a layer of gold-coated zinc oxide nanostructures. Performance of these substrates in the detection of a known compound was tested by Raman spectroscopy.

Findings
– The hydrothermal synthesis proved to be a good method for functionalizing the surface of polyamide parts made by the SLS process. By varying the synthesis temperature, ZnO nanoparticles and nanorods attached to the sample surfaces could be obtained. The degree of sample sintering had an effect on the growth of the nanostructures. The gold-coated functionalized surfaces enhanced the Raman signal from crystal violet by more than three orders of magnitude. ZnO nanorods grown on well-sintered SLS parts showed the best performance from the set of samples tested in this work.

Originality/value
– ZnO nanostructures were grown directly on untreated surfaces of SLS-made polyamide. These substrates were used for chemical analysis by SERS.
Squaring the circle
Authors: Grosvold Johanne , U. Hoejmose Stefan , K. Roehrich Jens 
Published: July 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships between management, measurement and performance of sustainability in supply chains. The authors develop a framework which explores these links through decoupling as articulated by the institutional theory. They draw on a conceptual continuum of reactive-proactive sustainable supply chain practices and identify clusters of companies along these dimensions and evaluate the theoretical and managerial implications of this for sustainability performance.Design/methodology/approach– This study uses primary and secondary datasets from 12 inductive, multiple case studies across different industries. This method ensures that we are better able to encapsulate a broader and more diverse set of practices and settings which in turn adds robustness to the theory we induced from our findings.Findings– The authors find varying degrees of alignment between management practices and measurement systems of sustainable supply chains. Some firms better align their sustainable supply chain management and measurement practices than others, resulting in tighter coupling and ultimately improved sustainability performance in the supply chain.Research limitations/implications– Further research may explore the conditions under which firms decouple their practices and the contextual settings that are associated with decoupling, loosely and tightly coupled alignment. Additionally, the conceptual framework should be tested across countries, industries and different relationships between public and private organisations.Originality/value– This is one of the first empirical explorations of the decoupling theory and the reactive-proactive continuum in sustainable supply chain management.
Solder joint imagery compressing and recovery based on compressive sensing
Authors: Zhao Huihuang , Wang Yaonan , Qiao Zhijun , Fu Bin 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to develop an improved compressive sensing algorithm for solder joint imagery compressing and recovery. The improved algorithm can improve the performance in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of solder joint imagery recovery.

Design/methodology/approach
– Unlike the traditional method, at first, the image was transformed into a sparse signal by discrete cosine transform; then the solder joint image was divided into blocks, and each image block was transformed into a one-dimensional data vector. At last, a block compressive sampling matching pursuit was proposed, and the proposed algorithm with different block sizes was used in recovering the solder joint imagery.

Findings
– The experiments showed that the proposed algorithm could achieve the best results on PSNR when compared to other methods such as the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm, greedy basis pursuit algorithm, subspace pursuit algorithm and compressive sampling matching pursuit algorithm. When the block size was 16 × 16, the proposed algorithm could obtain better results than when the block size was 8 × 8 and 4 × 4.

Practical implications
– The paper provides a methodology for solder joint imagery compressing and recovery, and the proposed algorithm can also be used in other image compressing and recovery applications.

Originality/value
– According to the compressed sensing (CS) theory, a sparse or compressible signal can be represented by a fewer number of bases than those required by the Nyquist theorem. The findings provide fundamental guidelines to improve performance in image compressing and recovery based on compressive sensing.
Tin oxide coverage on tin whisker surfaces, measurements and implications for electronic circuits
Authors: D. Dunn Barrie , Mozdzen Grazyna 
Published: July 2014

Purpose
– This paper aims to evaluate the morphology and thickness of oxides that form on the surfaces of tin whiskers. The problems related to the growth of tin whiskers are stated, and the relevance of oxide layers adhering to whiskers is discussed.

Design/methodology/approach
– Modern laboratory methods including focused ion beam sectioning, energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to characterise the composition of oxides present on the surfaces of 48-year-old whiskers. These very old whiskers had nucleated and grown on electronic equipment stored at ambient temperatures. They were compared to the oxide layers on newly grown 2-week-old whiskers.

Findings
– A dual oxide film, consisting of stannous and stannic oxides, was found present on both the old and the new whiskers. Measurements of oxide thickness were established for both generations of whiskers and these were noted to be similar to those films present on pure, cleaned bulk tin.

Research limitations/implications
– Only very new and very old whiskers, and their oxide films, were the focus of this investigation. However, sufficient data were gained to predict the effect both kinds of oxide films would have during whisker bridging between conductors and the risk of short circuits. Thick oxide films (order of 30 nm) may have a greater resistance to shorting, but they will be more difficult to remove during solder dipping (with respect to whisker mitigation).

Practical implications
– A knowledge of the oxide thickness on growing/gyrating tin whiskers will provide the electronics industry with data useful for establishing the risk of short circuits. It will also be useful during the forensic work associated with component and assembly failure analysis.

Originality/value
– The data resulting from this study are unique. They are of value to others who may require knowledge of the morphology, composition and thickness of oxides present on tin whiskers of different vintage.
Editorialising Practices, Competitive Marketability and James Thomson's The Seasons
Authors: Van de Walle Kwinten 
Published: July 2014

AbstractThe lapse of Andrew Millar's copyright for James Thomson's The Seasons in 1765 resulted in an increasing number of new editions of the poem being published in the late eighteenth century. This article compares the print‐cultural make‐ups of three editions of The Seasons that were issued in the 1790s. An examination of the print‐cultural differences between these publishing ventures reveals distinct editorial practices and marketing strategies. In an attempt to increase the attractiveness of their editions with visual and textual paraphernalia, the producers developed their own ‘versions’ of The Seasons and, in the process, fashioned new interpretations of Thomson's poem.
Anglo‐Chinese Caresses: Civility, Friendship and Trade in English Representations of China, 1760‐1800
Authors: Williams Laurence 
Published: July 2014

AbstractFrom the late 1750s British writers, merchants and diplomats responded to trade tensions with China by imagining how cross‐cultural forms of civility might bridge the political divides between the two empires, allowing the trade demands of the East India Company to be granted as tokens of Chinese friendship. This article explores the development of this cosmopolitan and idealising perspective on Anglo‐Chinese relations in two related literary genres: philosophical contes imagining Chinese travellers in England (by Oliver Goldsmith, Charles Johnstone and Horace Walpole) and travel narratives of Canton and Beijing (by Charles‐Frederick Noble and George Macartney).

Published: July 2014

AbstractAimHypertension is a major clinical complication of obesity. Our previous studies show that abnormal uptake of the nitric oxide precursor L‐arginine, via the cationic amino acid transporter‐1 (CAT1), contributes to endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that abnormal L‐arginine transport may be a key mediator of obesity‐induced hypertension.MethodsMean arterial pressure (MAP) was monitored by telemetry in conscious wild‐type (WT; n = 13) mice, and transgenic mice with endothelial‐specific overexpression of CAT1 (CAT+; n = 14) fed a normal or a high fat diet for 20 weeks. Renal angiotensin II (Ang II), CAT1 mRNA and plasma nitrate/nitrite levels were then quantified. In conjunction, plasma nitrate/nitrite levels were assessed in obese normotensive (n = 15) and obese hypertensive subjects (n = 15).ResultsBoth genotypes of mice developed obesity when fed a high fat diet (P ≤ 0.002). Fat fed WT mice had 13% greater MAP and 78% greater renal Ang II content, 42% lesser renal CAT1 mRNA levels and 42% lesser plasma nitrate/nitrite levels, than WT mice fed a normal fat diet (P ≤ 0.02). In contrast, none of these variables were significantly altered by high fat feeding in CAT+ mice (P ≥ 0.36). Plasma nitrate/nitrite levels were 17% less in obese hypertensives compared with obese normotensives (P = 0.02).ConclusionCollectively, these data indicate that obesity‐induced down‐regulation of CAT1 expression and subsequent reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide may contribute to the development of obesity‐induced hypertension.
Selective renal vasoconstriction, exaggerated natriuresis and excretion rates of exosomic proteins in essential hypertension
Authors: Damkjær M. , Jensen P. H. , Schwämmle V. , Sprenger R. R. , Jacobsen I. A. , Jensen O. N. , Bie P. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractAimIn essential hypertension (EH), the regulation of renal sodium excretion is aberrant. We hypothesized that in mild EH, (i) abnormal dynamics of plasma renin concentration (PRC) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are responsible for the exaggerated natriuresis, and (ii) exosomic protein patterns reflect the renal tubular abnormality involved in the dysregulation of sodium excretion.MethodsAfter 2‐week drug washout and 4‐day diet, systemic and renal hemodynamics, cardio‐renal hormones, glomerular filtration and renal excretion were studied in male patients during saline loading (SL). Excretion rates of exosome‐related urinary proteins including apical membrane transporters were determined by proteomics‐based methods.ResultsIn patients, baseline renal vascular conductance was reduced (−44%, P < 0.001), but non‐renal vascular conductances were normal while PRC was reduced and ANP elevated (both P < 0.01). SL induced exaggerated natriuresis and reduced PRC (P < 0.01), at normal suppression rate. SL increased arterial pressure in patients (+11 mmHg, P < 0.001), but not in controls; however, during time control, patients showed identical increases (+10 mmHg, P < 0.005) apparently dissociating arterial pressure from natriuresis.At baseline, excretion rates of 438 proteins ranged from 0.07 to 49.8 pmol (mmol creatinine)−1; 12 proteins were found in all subjects, and 21 proteins were found in two or more patients, but not in controls. In patients, the excretion rate of retinoic acid‐induced gene 2 protein was reduced, and excretion rates of other proteins showed increased variances compatible with pathophysiological and clinical applicability.ConclusionEssential hypertension patients exhibit selective renal vasoconstriction and individually varying excretion rates of several exosome‐related proteins. Hormonal changes, rather than arterial pressure, seem to cause exaggeration of natriuresis.
