Authors: Yan Chengxi , Pan Yuchen , Li Shaojian , Zhang Fuqian 
Published: August 2024

PurposeNational collaboration is an important topic for the development of digital humanities (DH). However, the collaboration patterns of DH have not been well studied in terms of development stages and collaboration characteristics. This paper aims to reveal the typical patterns of country-level collaboration in the global environment of DH based on research capacity, network features and influence indicators.Design/methodology/approachWe systematically designed a pipeline procedure based on the methods of bibliometrics and altmetrics to analyze global DH-related publications from two popular databases. The process includes the division of development stages, the identification of typical characteristics, the analysis of collaboration networks and the correlation test for different influences across countries.FindingsThe findings show that the collaboration in DH has certain characteristics and evolutionary patterns – with 2007 as the turning point that presents a gradual alteration from the strong competition of nation giants and the dominance of domestic collaboration to diversified international cooperation within regional alliances and a clear positive effect on national influence (both academic and social levels) by international collaboration. Some relevant suggestions are also put forward.Originality/valueThe study demonstrates not only the evidence of distinct patterns of country-level collaboration for DH during its evolutionary period as well as collaboration types and structures but also the positive effect of international collaboration on the enhancement of both academic influence and social attention. Moreover, the proposed analytical procedure provides insightful ideas around DH development from both the bibliometric and altmetric views, which can be an extensible framework for other scholarly collaboration research.

Relative, absolute or combined strength momentum strategies: what works for India?
Authors: Sehgal Sanjay , Pandey Asheesh , Sen Swapna 
Published: August 2024

PurposeIn the present study, we investigate whether enhanced momentum strategies outperform price momentum strategies and if they show greater resilience and stability under adverse market conditions. We also examine if such strategies are explained by prominent asset pricing models or are a result of behavioral mispricing.Design/methodology/approachData consist of the equity shares of all companies listed on National Stock Exchange over the study period. To check the efficacy of enhanced momentum over price momentum, six momentum strategies have been designed and their raw as well as risk-adjusted returns using multi-factor models have been observed. Behavioral mispricing has been examined by constructing an investor attention index. Finally, few robustness tests have been performed to confirm the results.FindingsWe find that an enhanced momentum strategy which combines relative and absolute strength momentum outperforms conventional price momentum strategy in India. We also demonstrate that rational pricing models are not able to explain momentum profits for any of the strategies. Finally, we observe that investor overreaction is the possible explanation of momentum profits in India. Thus, our results confirm the role of behavioral mispricing in explaining momentum returns.Originality/valueOur research is the first major attempt to study enhanced momentum strategies in the Indian context. We experiment with several new enhanced momentum strategies which have not been explored in prior literature. The findings have strong implications for global portfolio managers who wish to design profitable trading strategies.

Authors: Mehedi Sohel , Akhtaruzzaman Md , Zaman Rashid 
Published: August 2024

PurposeWe examine the relationship between board demographic diversity, board structural diversity, board capital diversity and corporate carbon performance (CCP). Additionally, we investigate how corporate sustainable resource use mediates these relationships.Design/methodology/approachWe utilize unbalanced panel data from Refinitiv Eikon covering 9,960 global firms from 2002 to 2022. We conduct a panel regression analysis to examine the relationship between board demographic diversity, board structural diversity, board capital diversity and CCP. In addition, we estimate entropy balancing estimation and two-step system GMM to address endogeneity issues.FindingsThe results indicate that board demographic diversity (including tenure, gender, and cultural diversity), structural diversity (such as board independence, board size, CEO-chairman duality, board meetings, and board compensation), and capital diversity (comprising board member affiliation and specific skills) all have a positive and significant association with corporate carbon performance. Additionally, our findings reveal that corporate sustainable resource use fully mediates the relationship between board demographic diversity and CCP and partially mediates the relationship between board structural diversity, board capital diversity, and CCP.Practical implicationsOur study findings are based on a diverse range of global firms, ensuring that the results address the global challenges of firm-level climate change response and governance issues.Originality/valueOur group diversity constructs offer new insights into the literature and further advance research on board group diversity. Additionally, for the first time, we explore the mediating role of sustainable resource use through the resource-based view (RBV) between-group diversity attributes and corporate carbon performance.

YouTube influencer marketing through parasocial interaction: a dyadic perspective
Authors: Chen Chih-Ping 
Published: August 2024

PurposeSocial media influencers (SMIs) have become vital components of interactive marketing to promote beauty-endorsed products. However, there are three major research gaps in the literature on influencer marketing. This research aimed to fill these gaps by integrating the stimulus-organism-response (SOR) model with theories of source credibility and parasocial interaction (PSI).Design/methodology/approachA qualitative method was used to gain a deep understanding of the Korean beauty field in YouTube influencer marketing.FindingsThe data showed that YouTube influencer marketing is an ongoing PSI process that conforms to the extended SOR model. This model was based on four concepts: stimulus, which was the SMIs’ source credibility; organism, which was the followers’ perceptions of homophily/relevance to the SMIs in PSIs; response, which was the desire to imitate and engage in impulse buying behavior, and management, which was the parasocial trust friendship and/or relationship.Originality/valueThis study expands the new concept into the existing SOR model and releases an insight into ongoing PSIs in YouTube influencer marketing.
The formation mechanism of social media platform brand value under the prosumption logic from the perspective of value co-creation
Authors: Li Guilong , Aisaiti Gulizhaer 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the dimensions and formation mechanisms of brand value on social media platforms within the prosumption logic based on the theory of value co-creation. By adopting a process-oriented mindset, this study deconstructs and applies the prosumption theory and the theory of value co-creation in the field of social media, thereby addressing the insufficiencies of previous research that focused primarily on the subject mindset. It offers reference ideas for social media brand managers to attract prosumers to engage in value co-creation.Design/methodology/approachThe crawler technology and grounded theoretical method were adopted in this research paper.FindingsBased on the logic of prosumption and the theory of value co-creation, the research finds that the brand value of social media platforms is composed of seven dimensions. The dimensions include brand recognition, brand perception quality, brand experience, brand value-in-use, brand relationship quality, brand loyalty and brand co-creation behavior. From the perspective of prosumption logic, the formation of brand value on social media platforms is a gradual accumulation process. This process involves prosumers participating in prosumption activities, progressing through several stages. Initially, it starts with “prosumption conditions”, which include brand recognition, brand perception quality and brand experience. It then moves to “prosumption processes,” characterized by brand value-in-use and brand relationship quality. Finally, it culminates in “prosumption outcomes,” represented by brand loyalty and brand co-creation behavior. From the perspective of value creation, the formation of brand value on social media platforms is a closed-loop process that includes “brand value identification and empowerment—brand value acquisition and transformation—brand value co-creation and relationship upgradation—brand value co-creation and stability—brand value feedback and iteration.”Originality/valueThe findings contribute to expanding prosumption and co-creation theory and enriching the prosumption logic frame. Meanwhile, it is conducive to encouraging prosumers to participate in the platform’s prosumption activities and jointly creating the brand value of the social media platform. This paper interprets prosumption through the lens of the value co-creation process.

Published: August 2024

PurposeReading habit plays a pivotal role in individuals' personal and academic growth, making it essential to encourage among campus users. University libraries serve as valuable platforms to promote reading by providing access to a diverse range of books and resources. Recommending books through personalized systems not only helps campus users discover new materials but also enhances their engagement and satisfaction with the library’s offerings, contributing to a holistic learning experience.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents a web-based solution, the Web-Based Hybrid Intelligent Book Recommender System (W_HybridBook), as a solution that addresses challenges like cold start issues and limited scalability by factoring in user preferences and item similarities in generating book recommendations. The paper improves the traditional hybrid system using Genre-Oriented Profiles (GOPs) instead of original rating profiles of users when determining similarities between individuals. Consumption-based genre profiles (W_HybridBook-CBP) are created by assessing whether an item has received any ratings in the dataset, and vote-based genre profiles (W_HybridBook-VBP) are generated by considering the genre categories based on the magnitude of the user’s rating.FindingsThe comparative results indicated that users are quite satisfied with the recommendations generated by W\_HybridBook-VBP profiling, with an average rating of 4.0633 and a precision value of 0.7988. W\_HybridBook-VBP is also the fastest way with respect to the algorithm and recommendation run time.Originality/valueThe proposed W\_HybridBook has been then enhanced by adopting two user profiling strategies to boost the similarity calculation process in the recommendation generation phase. This system provides ranking-based recommendations by mainly integrating well-known collaborative and content-based filtering strategies. A dataset has been collected by considering the preferences of both users and academics at Izmir Bakircay University, which is one of the universities with the highest number of books per student. More importantly, this dataset has been released and become publicly available for future research in the recommender system field.
Research on renewable energy investment decision-making in power supply chain based on cap-and-trade mechanism
Authors: Chen Peng , Lan Li , Guo Mingxing , Fei Fei , Pan Hua 
Published: August 2024

PurposeBy comparing and contrasting the two scenarios of power producers investing in renewable energy and electricity sellers investing in renewable energy, we explore the conditions under which profit growth and carbon emission reduction can be realized, and provide a theoretical basis for decision-making on renewable energy investment by electric power companies as well as for government policy formulation.Design/methodology/approachThis paper constructs a game model of a grid supply chain consisting of a leader generator and a follower seller in the context of the C&T mechanism, considering two scenarios in which the generator and the seller invest in renewable energy. Conclusions are drawn by comparing and analyzing the equilibrium solutions in different scenarios.FindingsThe scenario where electricity sellers invest in renewable energy exhibits a higher investment volume compared to the scenario involving power generators. In scenarios where power producers invest in renewable energy, electricity sellers achieve lower profits than power generators, while scenarios with electricity seller' investments yield higher profits for them. Increasing the cost coefficient of renewable energy investment reduces investment volume, electricity prices and electricity demand, leading to decreased profits for electricity seller but increased profits for power generator. A rise in the preference coefficient for renewable energy results in increased profits for electricity seller but decreased profits for power generator.Originality/valueAddressing a literature gap in the context of low carbon, this study examines the investment scenario of electricity sellers in low carbon technologies, complementing existing research focused on power generators and consumers. The findings enrich knowledge in low carbon investment. By analyzing the investment decisions of both power producers and electricity sellers, this study explores the practical implications of renewable energy investments on the decision-making and operational dynamics of power supply chain enterprises. It sheds light on their profitability and investment strategies.
