Uncovering the values that motivate people in relation to payments for involvement in research
Authors: Roca Teresa , Bates Peter 
Published: May 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to contribute to response to the 2013 health and welfare reform in the UK by looking specifically at how health research stakeholders in the East Midlands perceive reimbursements for their participation in research.

Design/methodology/approach
– In keeping with the government research agenda, a survey was distributed to patient and public involvement in research volunteers and other stakeholders in the East Midlands region. In total, 251 useful returns were statistically analysed using descriptive and frequency based statistics and factor analysis. Principal Component Analysis and Varimax Rotation with Kaiser Normalisation were used. This was supplemented by thematic analysis of the content of open questions.

Findings
– 29 per cent of respondents reported experience with payments and/or reimbursement of expenses for participation in research. Three main factors emerged from the exploratory factor analysis indicative of the values that underpin participants motivation to participate in research. These were “as an opportunity for self-development”, “volunteering”, and “work and market forces”. This revealed that local organisations were somewhat out of step with stakeholders motivations.

Research limitations/implications
– It is a small study, and therefore has limited power to predict. Wider societal factors were not taken into account and may also impinge on the responses given, especially if respondents are dependent on welfare benefits and vulnerable to shifting community attitudes.

Practical implications
– This study has got practical implications for policy makers, ethics committees, agencies promoting patient and public involvement, and research organisations. It should influence the design of health research, allow systems to be aligned with individual motivation, maximise recruitment to research and enhance the validity of research findings.

Social implications
– Genuine coproduction will enhance the quality of health and social care research, and will be strengthened by payment systems that respond the ethical position of participants rather than simply organise around welfare benefit regulations. This study also has the potential to influence guidance from major funders of health research.

Originality/value
– This study offers an unique contribution into a neglected, complex yet significant area of research practice.

Wafer damage issue study by heavy Al wire wedge bonding
Authors: Zhang Hanmin , Hu Ming , Zong Fei , Yin Baoguan , Ye Denghong , He Qingchun , Wang Zhijie 
Published: May 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper was to attempt to confirm the root cause of wafer damage issue by heavy Al wire wedge bonding and propose some permanent solutions for it.

Design/methodology/approach
– The infra red–optical beam-induced resistance change (IR-OBIRCH) analysis defines the position of an abnormal hotspot. A cross section and an scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed the wafer damage issue and its position. Based on the position of wafer damage, the wedge tool with different life and Al buildup was checked found to be on the wedge tool. Finite element analysis (FEA) modeling analysis and simulation experiment guarantee the Al buildup, and low wedge deformation thickness (WDT) can cause the wafer damage issue. Finally, design of experiment (DOE) experiments are designed to optimize wedge tool dimension and wedge-bond parameters to eliminate wafer damage issue.

Findings
– Wafer damage issue caused the Vpwr-OUTPUT leakage issue by IR-OBIRCH analysis. Al buildup was found on wedge tool with different life and its size gets larger along with the increase in wedge tool life. Low WDT and bigger Al buildup can cause the wafer damage. Designing new wedge tool and parameters optimization can increase WDT.

Research limitations/implications
– Because of the limitation of time and resources, finite element method (FEM) modeling and wedge tool dimension could not be studied more deeply.

Originality/value
– This paper sets an example on how to find out the root cause of wafer damage by a step-by-step analysis and put forward a quick solution accordingly for the issue.

Authors: Adam Tijjani , Hashim U. 
Published: May 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to present reports on fabrication of silicon (Si) nanowires (NWs). The study consists of microwire formation on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) that was fabricated using a top-down approach which involved conventional photolithography coupled with shallow anisotropic etching.Design/methodology/approach– A 5-inch p-type silicon-on-insulator (SOI) coated with 250nm layer and Photoresist (PR) with thickness of 400nm is coated in order to make pattern transfer via binary mask, after the exposure and development, a resist pattern between 3 μm-5 μm were obtained, Oxygen plasma spreen was used to reduce the size of the PR to 800 μm, after this, the wafer with 800 μm was loaded into SAMCO inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-RIE and got silicoon microwire was obtained. Next, the sample was put into an oxidation furnace for 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes and the sample was removed and dipped into a buffered oxide etch solution for five minutes to remove all the SiO2ashes.Findings– The morphological characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. At terminal two, gold electrodes which were designated as source and drain were fabricated on top of individual NWs using conventional lithography electrical and chemical response. Once the trimming process has been completed, the device's current–voltage (I-V) characteristic was measured by using a Keithley 4200 semiconductor parameter analyser. Devices with different width of wires approximately 20, 40, 60 and 80 nm were characterized. The wire current variation as a function of the pH variation in voltage was investigated: pH monitoring for variations of pH values between 5 and 9.Originality/value– This paper provides useful information on novel and yet simple cost-effective fabrication of SiNW; as such, it should be of interest to a broad readership, especially those interested in micro/nanofabrication.
Dynamic reliability approach of chip scale package assembly under vibration environment
Authors: Yang Ping , Tang Xiusheng , Liu Yu , Wang Shuting , Yang Jianming 
Published: May 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to perform experimental tests on fatigue characteristics of chip scale package (CSP) assembly under vibration. Some suggestions for design to prolong fatigue life of CSP assembly are provided.

Design/methodology/approach
– The CSP assembly which contains different package structure modes and chip positions was manufactured. The fatigue characteristics of CSP assembly under vibration were tested. The fatigue load spectrum of CSP assembly was developed under different excitation. The fatigue life of chips can be estimated by using the high-cycle fatigue life formula based on different stress conditions. The signal–noise curve shows the relationship between fatigue life and key factors. The design strategy for improving the fatigue life of CSP assembly was discussed.

Findings
– The CSP chip has longer fatigue life than the ball grid array chip under high cyclic strain. The closer to fixed point the CSP chip, the longer fatigue life chips will have. The chip at the edge of the printed circuit board (PCB) has longer fatigue life than the one in the middle of the PCB. The greater the excitation imposed on the assembly, the shorter the fatigue life of chip.

Research limitations/implications
– It is very difficult to set up a numerical approach to illustrate the validity of the testing approach because of the complex loading modes and the complex structure of CSP assembly. The research on an accurate mathematical model of the CSP assembly prototype is a future work.

Practical implications
– It builds a basis for high reliability design of high-density CSP assembly for engineering application. In addition, vibration fatigue life prediction method of chip-corner solder balls is deduced based on three-band technology and cumulative damage theory under random vibration so as to verify the accuracy of experimental data.

Originality/value
– This paper fulfils useful information about the dynamic reliability of CSP assembly with different structural characteristics and material parameters.

Spearman rank correlation is used to find out the relationship between the BOP customers and marketers responses.Findings– The findings enrich understanding of value co-creation in the BOP market by suggesting the various drivers that instigate BOP consumers to participate in value co-creation activities. The study also shows a strong relationship between the customers and marketers perspective on what drives BOP customers to participate in value co-creation.Research limitations/implications– The study is conducted qualitatively hence results cannot be generalized. The sample used for data collection is limited to one state of India.Practical implications– Twenty-seven factors are identified that an organization can leverage or develop to successfully practice value co-creation in the BOP markets.Originality\value– The paper provides a comprehensive view to help organizations manage value co-creation through customer participation in BOP market. According to author's knowledge, no prior study in BOP as well as on value co-creation literature discusses empirically the drivers of customer participation in value co-creation.
An empirical examination of customers’ adoption of m-banking in India
Authors: Deb Madhurima , Lomo-David Ewuuk 
Published: May 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to identify factors impacting the adoption of m-banking.

Design/methodology/approach
– To attain the above objective a conceptual model was developed based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and diffusion of innovation (DOI). Primary data were collected using questionnaire from 600 customers and the data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS.

Findings
– The study found empirical evidence for positive relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and Social Influence to positive attitude towards m-banking. However, no support was found for FC, benevolence and privacy and security to attitude towards m-banking. The study found support for the relationship between attitude towards m-banking and intention to adopt m-banking.

Practical implications
– The study has practical implications for managers. The study suggests that m-banking adoption can be increased by improving the customer's perception of benevolence and privacy and security.

Originality/value
– This is one of the few empirical studies which have investigated the adoption of m-banking in India. Earlier build theories like TAM and DOI were adapted for their generalizability to test the adoption of m-banking technology, which resulted in the development of an advanced conceptual model. The present model adds to the existing literature of technology adoption. The findings would help the managers to work on factors that are not perceived adequate by customers. Such improvements would facilitate the adoption of new technology.
Market orientation in Islamic banks – a qualitative approach
Authors: Ahmed Zebal Mostaque , M. Saber Hussein 
Published: May 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of market orientation that exists in the Islamic financial institutions. The study further aims at identifying the antecedents and consequences of such market orientation.Design/methodology/approach– Considering the explorative nature, the study uses qualitative research approach, collecting data in words using in-depth interview technique, drawing sample from Islamic financial institutions of both Bangladesh and United Arab Emirates. Data were coded and categorized using inductive reasoning method and similar responses were identified from a prepared data matrix. The results were presented in a narrative way using simple frequency for the agreements and disagreements of respondents considering “street language” without being mediating the meaning of the responses.Findings– A different nature of market orientation called Islamic market orientation has been identified by the results of the study. The study identifies five elements (orientation on Islamic customer, orientation on information, orientation on integration, orientation on competition, and finally orientation on responsiveness) that embody the formation of Islamic market orientation. The study also identifies a different set of antecedents (attitude toward Islamic values, Islamic leadership, risk partaking, inter-relationships, government legislations, and management training) that are responsible for determining the extent of Islamic market orientation. The study further identifies a set of consequences (profitability, customer satisfaction and retention, gaining new customers, increase of employees’ team spirit and satisfaction, service quality improvement, increase of market share, and increase of work efficiency) when market-oriented behavior is being adopted by the Islamic financial institutions.Originality/value– To the best of the knowledge of the authors of this study, the results offer a different kind of market orientation along with its antecedents and consequences which can be considered as completely original and unique.
Informant characteristics as moderators in higher education research
Authors: L. Hammond Kevin , L. Webster Robert 
Published: May 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a survey of business schools examining the impact of market orientation on overall business school performance. The authors extend previous research by examining the possible moderating influence of accrediting body affiliation and administrative position of key informants on the relationships between the components of market orientation (customer orientation, competitor orientation, and inter-functional coordination) and overall performance for each of three markets (student, parent, and employer). Research objectives are stated in terms of 18 hypotheses.Design/methodology/approach– The authors apply moderated regression analysis following the methodology used by Sharma, Durand, and Gur-Arie (1981) and Slater and Narver (1994), examining the variable relationships within schools affiliated through two accrediting bodies, from the perspective of business school deans and chief academic officers.Findings– Results suggest moderating effects for three of the 18 relationships that were tested. Intelligence gathered from survey research within higher education is indicated to vary somewhat depending on key informant characteristics (accrediting body affiliation and administrative position in this study).Practical implications– These results have practical implications for strategic planning within higher education. A better understanding of the differences within higher education will assist decision makers in responding to intelligence gathered within their own university, and will also assist them with strategies involving other universities (such as competitors or global partners).Originality/value– These results within higher education have implications for survey research more broadly, supporting concerns by Phillips (1981) and others that researchers be mindful of key informant characteristics and other factors that could bias their judgments regarding organizational properties and other variables under investigation.

Authors: Namdevrao Yadav Priyanka , Goli Srinivas , Perianayagam Arokiasamy , Maikho Apollo Pou Ladumai 
Published: May 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to examine the linkages of employment, chronic disease prevalence and medical care of the older population in India.Design/methodology/approach– This study used the India Human Development Survey data for the analysis. Bivariate, multinomial logit regression and multiple classification analysis are used as methods for the study.Findings– The findings suggest a bi-directional relationship between employment and chronic diseases: the older population who are engaged in regular paid work has lower likelihood to the risk of chronic diseases compared to those who are not working. Conversely, the older population with chronic diseases may be unable to work in regular paid jobs. The greater proportions of not-working older population with savings and retirement pensions are more likely to seek modern treatment for the chronic diseases. Overall, the results foster that employment determines and is determined by chronic disease prevalence among the older population in India.Originality/value– This paper for the first time presents evidence on the linkages of employment, chronic disease prevalence and medical care of the older population in India by using a unique and comprehensive data source.
The forecasting ability of world mutual funds
Authors: Rodriguez Javier 
Published: May 2014

Purpose
– The paper aims to empirically examine the forecasting ability of US-based world mutual funds during the 2001-2007 time period.

Design/methodology/approach
– World mutual funds are treated as portfolios composed of two sets of securities, i.e. domestic and foreign and two methodologies are used to measure forecasting ability: domestic differential exposure and assertion rates. Domestic differential exposure is based on the difference between each fund exposure to the domestic market when it is the outperforming market and the portfolio exposure to the domestic market when the foreign market is outperforming. Similar to the differential exposure, assertion rates measure the ability of fund managers to pick, on a monthly basis, an outperforming market.

Findings
– Although changing economic conditions in both domestic and foreign markets provided plenty of opportunities to outperform market benchmarks, the results of two empirical tests reveal that fund managers fail to effectively manage their exposure to both markets. Some evidence of good forecasting ability is found when funds are examined on a yearly basis.

Originality/value
– This study provides the first implementation of both methodologies: domestic differential exposure and assertion rates, to examine global funds.
