BACKGROUND
Most medical errors are nontechnical and include failures in team communication, situational awareness, resource use, and leadership. Other high-risk industries have adopted team-based crisis resource management (CRM) training strategies to address “nontechnical” skills and to improve human error and safety. Here, we describe the development and evaluation of a national multidisciplinary trauma CRM curriculum.

METHODS
A needs analysis survey was distributed to general surgery program directors across Canada. With the use of this feedback, a course called STARTT [Standardized Trauma and Resuscitation Team Training] was developed and held in conjunction with the Canadian Surgery Forum. Participants completed a precourse and postcourse evaluation exploring changes in attitudes toward simulation and CRM principles using previously validated instruments.

RESULTS
Twenty surgical residents, 6 nurses, 4 respiratory therapists, and 11 instructors (trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, nurses, and intensivists) participated. Of the participants, 100% completed the survey. Satisfaction was very high, with 97.5% of the participants rating the course as “good” or “excellent” and 97.5% recommending it to others. The presurvey and postsurvey showed statistically significant improvement in attitudes toward simulation and overall CRM principles (136.3 vs. 140.3 of 170, p = 0.004) following the course, primarily in the domain of teamwork (69.1 vs. 72.0 of 85, p = 0.002).

CONCLUSION
Creation of a national multidisciplinary trauma CRM curriculum is feasible, has high satisfaction among participants, and can improve attitudes toward the importance of simulation and CRM principles with the ultimate goal of improving patient safety and care.
Perceived value in community supported agriculture (CSA)
Authors: Chen Weiping 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is threefold: to conceptualize a construct of the perceived value in CSA and its dimensions, to operationalize and validate the construct, and to empirically investigate the influence of perceived value in CSA on consumer satisfaction and loyalty.

Design/methodology/approach
– This research begins by reviewing relevant literature that frames the concept of perceived value in CSA and integrates this construct into a nomological network. Operational measures for each component of perceived value in CSA are then developed. The scale is validated, and then used to test the hypothesized model in a sample of 198 consumers of Beijing's five CSA farms using partial least squares (PLS) as an analytical tool.

Findings
– Perceived value in CSA is found to be a formative, multi-dimensional, third-order construct. Further, the results suggest that perceived value in CSA has both a direct positive effect on consumer loyalty and an indirect effect mediated through consumer satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
– Limitations and research directions refer to the need to increase the sample size and replicate research in other places, the possibility of conducting longitudinal research, the need to identify antecedents of perceived value, and the opportunity to assess perceived value across a number of CSA member characteristics.

Practical implications
– CSA farmers should recognize the importance of value creation to build and maintain long time relationships. This study suggests that CSA farmers can enhance value from two approaches. One approach is to build strategies to facilitate delivery of product benefits, emotional benefits, and social benefits. Another approach is to invest in efforts to reduce inconvenience and lower risk. In addition, the formative model means that CSA farmers can allocate resources depending on the relative weight of each in value perceptions.

Originality/value
– This research is one of the first to conceptualize perceived value in a CSA setting; it argues that modeling of perceived value in CSA should take a formative approach and finds support for this; and assesses the nomological validity of the perceived value in CSA.
In search of differentiation and the creation of value: the quest of the Scottish pig supply chain
Authors: M.K. Leat Philip , Revoredo-Giha Cesar 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to analyse different aspects of the concept of value and to provide examples of value creation, identifying the conditions necessary for their production within a case study of a Scottish pig supply chain.

Design/methodology/approach
– The case study involved in-depth, recorded interviews of between 60 and 75 minutes (undertaken between June and August 2010) with seven people involved in the chain and its management.

Findings
– Value within the supply chain (i.e. value in exchange) was created through farmers engaging in horizontal and vertical collaboration. For farmers this value arises from efficient pig collection and transport, improved market and price security, and information on improving pig performance. For the processor and retailer, value is generated in terms of improved security of supply of an assured quality and the ability to communicate with their pigmeat supply base. For consumers, value (i.e. value in use) comes through market development associated with a label that communicates clear provenance, high animal welfare practices and consistent product quality.

Research limitations/implications
– A limitation of the research is that the findings are based on the analysis of a particular supply chain. However, the pig cooperative involved currently produces over half of Scotland's weekly pig production.

Practical implications
– The lessons of the case study are highly transferable to other agri-food supply chains. It shows producers' successful efforts to reflect attributes that are important for different stakeholders (e.g. retailers, consumers). It also illustrates the importance of shared goals, information exchange and collaborative interaction between supply chain stakeholders in value creation.

Originality /value
– The paper's contribution derives from showing the creation of value at different stages of a supply chain.
Value in the territorial brand: the case of champagne
Authors: Charters Stephen , Menival David , Senaux Benoit , Serdukov Svetlana 
Published: October 2013

Purpose– The aim of this study is to consider how key actors in a territorial brand view the creation of value, and how it is balanced between the territorial and individual brands – using champagne as a means of exploring this.Design/methodology/approach– The project was exploratory and a qualitative process involving interviews with key actors in the region was adopted.Findings– Members of the champagne industry adopt a range of views about the nature of value, focusing on image, reputation and perceived quality, but varying between an individualist approach (which considers that value creation lies with the proprietary brands) and a more collectivist perspective, which considers it is predominantly the result of the territorial brand.Research limitations/implications– Research into the organisation of territorial brands is just beginning; while merely exploratory this research suggests that issues around value merit further consideration.Practical implications– Actors within a territorial brand need to clearly negotiate how they view value in order to maintain coherence and a common message. They may also need to pay more attention to issues around brand co-creation.Originality/value– No research in this precise field has previously been carried out and this study highlights variations in the perceptions of key actors within a territorial brand.
Unified trust establishment by leveraging remote attestation – modeling and analysis
Authors: Khiabani Hamed , Bashah Idris Norbik , Ab Manan Jamalul-lail 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– Ambient service provisioning with the least human participation in a pervasive computing environment, which is composed of interconnected devices and sensors, raises several trust and security issues. Accurate measuring of the integrity of the nodes that are willing to interact in this intimate environment can boost the trust evolution process, particularly in the uncertainty state and initiation phase. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper presents a unified approach in calculating the trust value among the nodes by leveraging some trusted computing functionalities. The approach aggregates different trust metrics like context, recommendation, and history to compute the trust index of each party more accurately. The paper also describes several existing remote attestation techniques including the chosen attestation technique for the model. The paper simulated the behaviour of the model in different scenarios and evaluates its responsiveness when the trustworthiness among peer nodes can be attested.

Findings
– The results obtained from different simulated scenarios demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model. It is shown that trust evaluation process in the proposed model is very granular and also can be fine-tuned according to the application and context. The model strength in solving the uncertain situations and assigning appropriate initial trust values is shown, as well. Finally, the paper describes the future research plan to evaluate the accuracy of the model.

Originality/value
– The novel idea of applying remote attestation in trust determination may open up new avenues of research in the study of trust management and trust models.
A comparison of password feedback mechanisms and their impact on password entropy
Authors: Ciampa Mark 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– Text-based passwords created by users are typically weak. A common mitigation is to provide meaningful feedback to users regarding the relative strength of their newly created password. However, the effects of these feedback mechanisms on users to create stronger passwords have not been well studied. This study examined four different types of password feedback mechanisms to determine which, if any, are the most effective. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
– Undergraduate student volunteers created four different passwords and then entered the passwords into four different online password feedback mechanisms. Participants were then asked whether the feedback persuaded them to change their original password.

Findings
– In all cases, the feedback mechanisms significantly influenced users with lower password entropy to choose a more secure password. The password feedback mechanism that was most effective was the feedback of the estimated amount of time to break the password.

Research limitations/implications
– Undergraduate students in an academic environment were the participants, which may limit external validity.

Practical implications
– The implications are for designers of web sites and other applications that require users to create a text-based password: any feedback mechanism can influence users to create passwords with higher entropy, yet those that indicate the length of time it would take to crack the password are most effective.

Originality/value
– There are a wide variety of password feedback mechanisms in use. However, their effects on influencing users to create stronger passwords have not been well studied.
Moving cultural information systems research toward maturity
Authors: Tams Stefan 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to propose both short-term and long-term recommendations, with the potential to help cultural information systems (IS) research overcome the definitional and epistemological problems that cause it to remain largely immature.

Design/methodology/approach
– The paper uses an extensive literature review to identify the major definitional and epistemological problems inherent in cultural IS research and to propose ways to overcome these problems.

Findings
– The paper finds that cultural research in the area of IT and people needs to employ more consistent definitions of the culture construct and that such research could benefit from a diversification of the epistemological approaches employed.

Originality/value
– The present paper finds that a more contemporary definition of culture is needed alongside a greater emphasis of the interpretivist approach to move cultural IS research toward maturity. The paper also suggests that anthropology constitutes a promising reference discipline for cultural IS research. In line with recent research in IS and anthropology, future IS research may consider defining culture consistently as shared values among the members of a collective rather than as a nation state since the former definition accounts for the fact that nation states are no longer culturally homogeneous.
Customer satisfaction in Web 2.0 and information technology development
Authors: Sharma Gajendra , Baoku Li 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the individual and organizations best use Web 2.0 social networking technologies to improve its relationships with customers.

Design/methodology/approach
– The theoretical background used in the paper was the familiarity-liking theory and prospect theory to understand the extent of user satisfaction with the services. Online survey from Second Life users was conducted to investigate customer satisfaction in Web 2.0 social networks and recent development on information technologies.

Findings
– The findings suggested that IT development is the inseparable part of Web 2.0 and enables to understand customer satisfaction as well as their perception on online technology. Both customer satisfaction and IT development has positive influence on consumer's service enjoyment and experience.

Research limitations/implications
– The generalizability of the paper is limited. The survey data in this study have some common method bias. The possibility of the existence of the common method bias cannot be completely eliminated.

Practical implications
– The paper provides the significance of customer satisfaction for organizations, researchers, managers, and policy makers. The paper provides validated measurements to facilitate evaluation of several major user satisfaction constructs.

Originality/value
– The recent development of information and communication technology (ICT), especially the internet and its related technologies has become the main force of the development of online social network. The number of Web 2.0 users has been growing so rapidly that it has become an important channel for marketers to reach their customers.
Estimating the time varying NAIRU in Iran
Authors: Valadkhani Abbas , M. Mehdee Araee Sayyed 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The main purpose of this paper is to provide more accurate estimates of Iran's time varying non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) than what already exists in the literature.

Design/methodology/approach
– Using the Kalman filter approach and annual time series data spanning from 1959 to 2008, the paper presents two estimates of the NAIRU for Iran.

Findings
– The estimated two measures appear to be robust and consistent in terms of their magnitude and pattern, having a more logical upper limit of 11.1 per cent. Irrespective of which of the two models are considered, the results clearly indicate that overall Iran's NAIRU has been on the rise since the 1960s and whenever the unemployment rate lies below the NAIRU, the rate of inflation has exhibited an explosive behaviour. Such a phenomenon was observed in both 1995-1996 and the post 2006 era.

Originality/value
– In the context of Iran, all previous studies have consistently over-estimated the maximum value of the time varying NAIRU. In these studies, the NAIRU's upper limit ranges from 14 to 20.7 per cent. The paper concludes that such implausible high rates are as a result of the overestimation associated with misspecification errors in their model.
Corporate governance and organizational survival under punctuational change
Authors: Li Sun Sunny , Zhang Yanli 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– How do different corporate governance structures fare under conditions of fundamental environmental transformations? Treating governance structure as a knowledge distribution mechanism embedded in institutional frameworks, the paper aims to propose that the efficiency of this knowledge diffusing process will increase organizational survival under a punctuational change.

Design/methodology/approach
– Using the case of Chinese banking industry during 1897-1927, a period of rapid technological, economic, and regulatory shifts.

Findings
– Money shops (qianzhuang) with decentralized, open and extended governance structure were better able to adapt to rapid changes in the environment and had a higher survival chance than ticket stores (piaohao) with centralized, closed and internalized governance structure.

Research limitations/implications
– When exogenous shocks dramatically change the environment, decentralized, open and extended governance structures can more easily discover new habitats in which a modified form of organization can thrive.

Originality/value
– By examining the Chinese banking industry during the fundamental shift of the environment at the turn of the twentieth century, this paper sheds new wisdom on the understanding of the current turbulent world and helps us discover new solutions to cope with the institutional transition necessary to survive and prosper in the new world environment and pave the road ahead.
The contingent effect of corporate social responsibility fit on consumer brand attitude
Authors: Tian Hong , Yuan Haixia 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purposes of this study are to demonstrate the conditional effect of functional fit and image fit on consumer brand attitude through the altruistic attributions and identify the criteria for choosing a perfect social cause for managers.

Design/methodology/approach
– Based on the existing research, a conceptual model is proposed, explained the moderating effect of social cause affinity on the indirect influence of functional fit and image fit on consumer brand attitude via altruistic attributions; these relationships were assessed through a bootstrap procedure. The model was estimated with a sample of 240 subjects. Two newly created, printed corporate social responsibility (CSR) information served as the basic stimulus of this article.

Findings
– The main conclusions are as follows: first, social cause affinity moderates the effect of functional fit and image fit on altruistic attributions, and the combination of image fit and social cause affinity both on high levels can more easily lead to the emergence of suspicion of company's altruistic motives, contrary to functional fit. Second, contingent on social cause affinity, CSR fit has an indirect relationship with consumer brand attitude mediated by altruistic attribution. More specifically, the indirect effect will be more positive for functional fit with higher levels of social cause affinity, but for image fit with low levels of affinity.

Research limitations/implications
– The experiment relied on fictitious corporate name. Most of the responders were students from Changchun. This may reduce the generalizability of the results.

Practical implications
– Besides functional fit and image fit, social cause affinity should be treated as a key criterion to choose social cause.

Originality/value
– This work analyses and compares the indirect effect of functional fit and image fit on consumer brand attitude through altruistic attributions. The findings give some enlightenment on solutions to contradictions in existing research.
Managing regional centres' of expertise collaborations with stakeholders including higher education institutions
Authors: Liane Brown Francesca , Meyer Jonas , Diethart Mario 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to assist the United Nations Regional Centres of Expertise (RCEs) in continuing their fundamental work within the region and to address some of the prominent challenges within the RCE community. Specific RCE case studies from the global network were employed, emphasizing experiences in collaboration with multiple stakeholders including higher education institutions.

Design/methodology/approach
– Conducting a literature review and employing a qualitative research methodology with the use of a guided questionnaire, the paper aims to gain a deeper understanding of the operations of RCEs in general and more specifically the case studies.

Findings
– The paper shows some of the strategies implemented by the cohort of case studies to overcome their common challenges. Key recommendations based on the findings are made in its quest for continual development and final conclusions assessing the contentious challenges are drawn.

Research limitations/implications
– This paper focuses on RCEs within Europe, with cases from the USA and Canada for comparison. Although the paper highlights common themes and challenges, it is highly probable that RCEs outside of the studied regions may contend with similar challenges; further research would have to be conducted to assess the wider scope of the situation.

Originality/value
– The paper gives an external perspective of the challenges faced and identifies some areas in which improvements could be made. It is also generated from information gathered from multi-case study RCEs.

Authors: A. Adams Carol 
Published: October 2013

Purpose
– This article aims to provide a perspective on sustainability reporting and performance management in the university sector making a case for increased accountability, improved (management of) performance and greater innovation in approach.

Design/methodology/approach
– The author provides a personal perspective drawing on experience in sustainability standard setting and as a sustainability researcher, advisor and practitioner in the university sector and others.

Findings
– The paper finds that university practice in sustainability reporting and performance management significantly lags other sectors and falls far short of optimising the potential of the sector to influence transformational change through knowledge transfer.

Research limitations/implications
– The paper suggests some areas for further research.

Practical implications
– This article makes a case for increased sustainability performance management and reporting in universities arguing that it would lead to increased accountability and improved performance. It calls for social, environmental and economic sustainability to integrated into university processes. The paper has implications for university policy makers and regulators.

Originality/value
– Little attention has been paid to the university sector in the sustainability reporting and social responsibility literature or indeed in recognised standards for sustainability reporting and management.
