La Captation théâtrale, le plus pur des théâtres? Le cas d'
‘Art’
de Yasmina Reza
Authors: Jaccomard Hélène 
Published: July 2013

Résumé

En son temps, André Bazin avait comparé sur le plan de leur théâtralité respective le théâtre et le théâtre
filmé
, expression qui recouvrait les films tirés de textes théâtraux aboutissant parfois à des ‘croisements féconds’, c'est-à-dire à un cinéma et un théâtre
impurs
. Ce qui est plus courant de nos jours, c'est le théâtre
capté
, lorsqu'une représentation enregistrée en public est montée sous forme de film pour être retransmise au cinéma, à la télévision ou diffusée sur support numérique. Une réflexion sur la théâtralité de ce type de film est encore à faire. En se référant aux remarquables intuitions de Bazin, le présent article se propose de jeter les bases d'une analyse théorique et pratique du théâtre capté, en étudiant le langage cinématographique de la captation d'une pièce à succès,
‘Art’
de Yasmina Reza, c'est-à-dire sa bande-image et sa bande-son. On s'interroge au final sur la question du plaisir devant le film de la captation, qui restitue fidèlement les réactions sonores de la salle de théâtre.
Agricultural risks and risk management in the current context of Chinese economy
Authors: Holly Wang H. 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a big picture of the current context of Chinese economy, the government policies on agriculture, and the role of agricultural risks and risk management against this background.Design/methodology/approachThe new Chinese economic challenges are laid out upfront. Relevant agricultural issues are then provided, with statistics; next, risks and risk management topics are introduced and controversial issues in agriculture are discussed. Relevant policies reflected in the State Council's No. 1 documents in both 2012 and 2013 are introduced and filled in each section.FindingsThe Chinese economy may slow down after decades of fast development. Food security is still a top priority, even with the income rise. Increased labor cost may transform Chinese agriculture from the traditional labor intensive field management into a modern agriculture characterized by high input use and larger scale.Research limitations/implicationsThe research implication is directing economists focusing on Chinese agricultural risks to grasp the opportunity of the Chinese government investing in agricultural research and development, to look more broadly, to involve multidisciplinary research with the natural sciences, and to refer to the situation of modern agriculture.Practical implicationsThere are some policy implications. Further liberalization of land ownership is called for, as is the development of infrastructure.Originality/valueThis paper addresses the objectives in putting agricultural risks and risk management into the overall big picture of the Chinese economy and government policies.
Modelling “shallow loss” crop revenue programs
Authors: Paulson Nicholas D. , Woodard Joshua D. , Babcock Bruce 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate changes proposed in 2012 to commodity programs for the new Farm Bill. Both the Senate and House Agriculture Committee versions of the new Farm Bill eliminate current commodity programs including direct payments, create new revenue‐based commodity program options designed to cover “shallow” revenue losses, and also introduce supplemental crop insurance coverage for shallow revenue losses.Design/methodology/approachThis paper documents the payment functions for the new revenue programs proposed in both the Senate and House Ag Committee Farm Bills, and also estimates expected payments for each using a model based on historical county yield data, farmer‐level risk rates from RMA, and commodity price levels from the March 2012 CBO baseline projections.FindingsThe authors find significant variation in expected per acre payment across programs, crops, and regions. In general, the Senate's bill would be expected to be preferred over the House's bill for corn and soybean producers, particularly those in the Midwest. Also, the RLC program in the House's Bill typically would be projected to pay much less than the Senate's SCO or ARC programs for most producers in the Midwest.Originality/valueThis study develops an extensive nationwide model of county and farm yield and price risks for the five major US crops and employs the model to evaluate expected payment rates and the distribution of payments under the House and Senate Farm Bill proposals. These analyses are important for program evaluation and should be of great interest to producers and policymakers.

Authors: Stenfert Kroese Biza , Rose John , Heer Kuljit , O’Brien Alexis 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe current qualitative study aims to investigate service users’, support staff's and community team members’ views of gender differences in cause and presentation of mental health problems, whether current services respond differently to men and women with mental health problems and areas in which services can become more gender sensitive.Design/methodology/approachTwo focus groups were conducted with service users with intellectual disabilities and mental health problems in addition to two focus groups with a variety of staff. Subsequently, individual interviews were conducted with both male and female staff members employed in residential and community intellectual disability services. The number of participants totalled 54 (16 service users and 38 staff). Thematic analysis was adopted in order to identify dominant themes in the discourse of these stakeholder groups.FindingsThe analysis produced a number of themes which include: compliance versus challenge; vulnerability; expression of emotion; gender equality; same sex support; caring qualities; and boundaries.Originality/valueA number of suggestions for improving services are discussed in the context of the current findings.
Dysfunctional auditing behaviour: empirical evidence on auditors' behaviour in Macau
Authors: Yuen Desmond C.Y. , Law Philip K.F. , Lu Chan , Qi Guan Jie 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to investigate the factors that may result in a high turnover rate of auditors in Macau. The factors considered include client importance, task complexity, time budget constraints, auditor independence and acceptance of dysfunctional behaviour by Macau's audit firms.Design/methodology/approachThis study involved three stages. In the first stage, interviews were carried out with auditors from Big‐4 (seven interviewees) and local non‐Big‐4 firms (three interviewees) in Macau to investigate the reasons for the high turnover rate amongst auditors in Macau. They were asked to speculate about common explanatory factors. The second stage involved 141 auditors from Big‐4 and local non‐Big‐4 accounting firms who were asked to complete a questionnaire survey for the explanatory factors. A total of 135 usable questionnaires were included in the multiple regression data analysis. The third stage of research comprised follow‐up interviews aimed at learning more about the reasons for dysfunctional behaviour.FindingsThis research provides valuable information for audit firms in Macau and will potentially help them to reduce their turnover rate and identify the factors affecting dysfunctional behaviour amongst auditors. The results extend the literature by focusing on the effect of perceived responsibility on professional responses to time budget pressures, task complexity, pressure from clients, and professional and ethical issues.Practical implicationsThe challenge facing auditors today is to expand their auditing practices and evolve standards for adequately monitoring the operations of business entities. The current high turnover rate alarms audit firms, which are concerned with training and the provision of sufficient resources to solve the problems that auditors face in the workplace.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to examine the reason for turnover intentions in Macau. This study sheds light on the factors that contribute to individual auditor differences in the acceptance of dysfunctional behaviour that may result from the stressful nature of their duties.
Multi campus investigation of academic dishonesty in higher education of Pakistan
Authors: Ellahi Abida , Mushtaq Rabia , Bashir Khan Mohammed 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe worst scandals of the world's top companies have turned the attention of researchers towards the function of academic institutions in ethical training of future business leaders because the issue of dishonest behaviour of students becomes very severe, when they exercise the same practice at their place of work. Therefore, the understanding of the factors that affect student's decisions to engage in academic dishonesty is important for academic institutions, in order to reduce its occurrence. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of individual factors, situational factors and ethical factors on academic dishonesty behaviour of students in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire‐based field survey was conducted with 500 students across four universities in Pakistan.FindingsIt has been found that individual, situational and ethical factors affect on rationalisation of academic dishonesty and this rationalisation shapes actual conduct of academic dishonesty. Moreover, lack of well‐defined policies of the academic dishonesty in higher education is a major determinant of academic dishonesty among students.Practical implicationsThe results provide a strong implication for academics. By discouraging such behaviour, academic institutions can help ensure the integrity of the degrees they offer, and help to level the fair grade competition among students.Originality/valueThe research provides a profound investigation of individual, situational and ethical factors as predictors of students’ academic dishonesty. The study is pioneering in its nature to explore two common forms of academic dishonesty, i.e. plagiarism and dual submission among university students. Furthermore, the study used rationalisation of academic dishonesty as a determinant of the actual act of academic dishonesty.

Published: July 2013

PurposeThe study aims to assess healthcare workers' needle‐stick injury (NSI) knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP).Design/methodology/approachA cross‐sectional study was conducted in a 600‐bedded hospital throughout six months. The data were collected using an anonymous, self‐reporting questionnaire. Participants were various healthcare workers (HCW) drawn through stratified random sampling and their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding NSI were assessed.FindingsThere is significant difference in the mean knowledge, attitude and practice scores among healthcare workers. Even though scores are better for doctors and nurses, practice scores were better for technical staff. Healthcare workers, who had better practice scores, had suffered fewer NSIs. Since this study is a cross‐sectional, the population's NSI incidence could not be calculated.Practical implicationsThis study emphasizes that applying knowledge to practice is required to prevent NSIs. Various recommendations to help prevent and deal with NSIs are made.Originality/valueThis study analyses healthcare workers' NSI knowledge, attitude and practices, and also assesses their correlation with NSI incidence, which has not been done previously.
Improving laboratory data entry quality using Six Sigma
Authors: Elbireer Ali , Le Chasseur Julie , Jackson Brooks 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe Uganda Makerere University provides clinical laboratory support to over 70 clients in Uganda. With increased volume, manual data entry errors have steadily increased, prompting laboratory managers to employ the Six Sigma method to evaluate and reduce their problems. The purpose of this paper is to describe how laboratory data entry quality was improved by using Six Sigma.Design/methodology/approachThe Six Sigma Quality Improvement (QI) project team followed a sequence of steps, starting with defining project goals, measuring data entry errors to assess current performance, analyzing data and determining data‐entry error root causes. Finally the team implemented changes and control measures to address the root causes and to maintain improvements. Establishing the Six Sigma project required considerable resources and maintaining the gains requires additional personnel time and dedicated resources.FindingsAfter initiating the Six Sigma project, there was a 60.5 percent reduction in data entry errors from 423 errors a month (i.e. 4.34 Six Sigma) in the first month, down to an average 166 errors/month (i.e. 4.65 Six Sigma) over 12 months. The team estimated the average cost of identifying and fixing a data entry error to be $16.25 per error. Thus, reducing errors by an average of 257 errors per month over one year has saved the laboratory an estimated $50,115 a year.Practical implicationsThe Six Sigma QI project provides a replicable framework for Ugandan laboratory staff and other resource‐limited organizations to promote quality environment. Laboratory staff can deliver excellent care at a lower cost, by applying QI principles.Originality/valueThis innovative QI method of reducing data entry errors in medical laboratories may improve the clinical workflow processes and make cost savings across the health care continuum.
Online retailer reputation and consumer response: examining cross cultural differences
Authors: Kim Jiyoung , Yang Kiseol , Yong Kim Bu 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate cross cultural differences in the impact of online retailer reputation and retail quality on consumers' emotional and cognitive (i.e. perceived risk) reactions, which lead to purchase intention, based on stimulus‐organism‐response (S‐O‐R) model.Design/methodology/approachTwo cultures, US (individualism, low uncertainty avoidance) and South Korea (collectivism, high uncertainty avoidance) were chosen for comparison for their contrast in cultural characteristics. Multiple group analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed in order to compare the structural model in two different cultures.FindingsThe results indicate that while the overall mechanism underlying the decision making process is similar for the two countries, differences are found in the relative importance of the factors determining consumers' cognitive and emotional reactions as well as their intention to purchase online.Research implications/limitationsThe majority of the respondents were female and their evaluation was mostly towards online apparel websites. It did not bias the result of this study as the two sample sets were comparable in their demographics and online shopping behavior, yet the result may be generalized to a limited extent.Practical implicationsThe results suggest that retailing strategy may vary in response to cultural differences. In East Asian countries that share Confucian values, targeting consumer emotion through experiential cues may not yield as significant result as it may in the USA.Originality/valueThis study will add value to the current literature by examining the cultural difference in consumer psychological process and its consequent effect on purchase intention focusing on reputation as key external stimuli.
An exploratory analysis of social commonalities and subjective discounts
Authors: Rosenbaum Mark S. , Massiah Carolyn , Wozniak Richard 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThis article seeks to illustrate how social commonalities between employees and their customers often result in customers believing that they are entitled to discounts in retail settings.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs survey methodology to reveal the extent to which various social commonalities between customers and service providers encourage customers to believe that they are entitled to financial discounts.FindingsThe findings show that commonalities may cause customers to adhere to narcissism – that is, many customers may expect discounts even when they know that employees may jeopardize their jobs by providing them.Research limitations/implicationsCustomer relationships dramatically change with commonalities, as customers believe that social relationships propel them to “best customer status” and that they are entitled to discounts.Practical implicationsCustomers who become increasingly connected with employees expect relational benefits that usually require time to develop. Retailers that encourage their employees to develop social media bonds with their customers must realize that customers desire to be financially rewarded for maintaining these linkages.Originality/valueThis work reveals that customers who maintain social commonalities with employees expect to receive some type of financial benefit from doing so.
In‐store shopping experience in China and France
Authors: Ling Xu‐Priour Dong , Cliquet Gérard 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the hypotheses about whether the effects of consumer enjoyment shopping experience, derived from seven aspects of recreational shopping (i.e. social aspects of retail environment, service quality, browsing, bargain hunting, social interaction, enduring involvement and brand experience) on consumer attitude towards stores channels are comparable between France and Chinese cosmetic shoppers.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve this objective, a questionnaire of 500 French and 480 Chinese working females were conducted. Both the convergence and habituation theories were applied.FindingsResults of the multiple regression analysis support the above assumptions and suggest that customer enjoyment shopping experience and its relation with consumer attitudes towards store channels in China tends to be more in line with those in developed countries.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings presented are the views of women's in‐store enjoyment shopping experiences in two cities in French and Chinese cosmetic markets. To ensure the generalizability of the findings, other products, consumer groups and regions (i.e. Indian etc.) can be envisaged.Practical implicationsMultinational retailers and cosmetics vendors have to recognize these customer enjoyment shopping experiences in both retail settings. In particular in the Chinese retail market, to improve these experiences so as to achieve positive consumer attitude towards retail outlets and finally strike the deal in this numerous market.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to employ convergent and habituation theory to examine the stability or change of the aforesaid relation between China and France. Hence, it adds to international marketing theory concerning the usefulness of these growing important theories in explaining the comparability between developed countries and developing ones in relation between constructs.
A research framework for social commerce adoption
Authors: Hajli Mahmood 
Published: July 2013

PurposeSocial relationships on the internet through the emergence of Web 2.0 applications created new opportunities for business. This is mainly because of the growth of social networking sites, which has also developed e‐commerce. The current development in e‐commerce opened a new stream, entitled social commerce, which is using social technologies to create an environment for generating social interactions. These social interactions can drive online social support in e‐commerce, which in turn is creating trust and an increased intention to use social commerce.Design/methodology/approachThis research used social support theory and related theories on intention to use to propose a theoretical framework for the adoption of social commerce.FindingsThe model predicts that forums and communities, ratings, reviews, referrals and recommendations are helping to introduce new business plans for e‐vendors. The model also shows trust is an on‐going issue in e‐commerce and can be built through social commerce constructs.Research limitations/implicationsThere is limited research in the area of social commerce which this study seeks to redress. This study proposes a new model which can be extended by other constructs. However, the research needs to empirically test the constructs of the proposed model and their relationship.Originality/valueThis paper introduces social commerce constructs, namely; recommendations and referrals, forums and communities and rating and reviews. The bases of the model proposed in this research are IT adoption and literature in the area such as PU and intention to buy or trust. These highlight the key role of ICT in the behaviour of online customers. This can be a development for e‐commerce adoption models and the results signify that IS has a reference discipline for the behaviour of online consumers. This is an issue in marketing where not enough attention is paid to the importance of IT and IS.
Evaluating and enriching information and communication technologies compliance frameworks with regard to privacy
Authors: Lambrinoudakis Costas 
Published: July 2013

PurposeThe aim of the paper is to highlight gaps in compliance environments regarding information privacy and provide recommendations for global information privacy standards.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws conceptually upon an existing security standard's framework and omissions in information privacy compliance frameworks are recognized. As a result, an extended framework of information security and privacy standards is developed. Moreover, taking into account the different attributes and focus of information privacy as compared to information security, the elicitation of usability criteria for web applications and interfaces that will assist users to protect their privacy, is being proposed.FindingsWithin ICT standards numerous information security standards exist, which enable a common understanding of security requirements and promote global rules and practices for security mechanisms. Through their usage, designed information systems ultimately reach a commonly accepted security level and interoperate with other systems in an efficient and secure way. Nevertheless, a similar compliance environment is missing with regard to information privacy. Often security controls are seen as the solution to privacy protection and security compliance frameworks are regarded as guidance to information privacy as well. This is clearly the wrong approach since the main security and privacy attributes are different; information security refers to information stored, processed and transmitted for completing the information system's functions and purpose, while information privacy is the protection of the information's subject identity.Research limitations/implicationsThe identified gaps in compliance environments are based on extensive literature review, while the proposed enhancements for the information privacy standards are, at this stage, an opinion‐based piece of work.Originality/valueCurrently, information privacy is treated mostly as a legal compliance requirement and thus is not adequately handled by security standards. The paper provides recommendations and further guidance in managerial, procedural and technical level for handling information privacy.
