Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study aims to assess the mediating and driving roles of knowledge cooperation in the effectiveness of G60 Sci-tech Innovation Corridor (G60 STIC) for regional collaborative innovation within the knowledge economy context. Furthermore, it focuses on whether knowledge cooperation is more effective than resource cooperation in terms of spatial spillover and its mediating effects on collaborative innovation.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs multiple statistical and econometric approaches, including social cooperation network, Super-DEA, spatial difference-in-difference model (SDID) and mediating effect model, to measure the effectiveness of knowledge cooperation and resource cooperation paths within the framework of the G60 STIC on regional collaborative innovation in the Yangtze River Delta region (YRD) from 2002 to 2022.FindingsFirst, the knowledge cooperation networks validate the strengthening of collaborative innovation is primarily centred on provincial cities and leading manufacturing locales, with smaller cities radiating outwards from these centres. The knowledge cooperation network was generally stronger than the resource cooperation network. Second, the G60 STIC significantly enhances collaborative innovation efficiency by intensifying knowledge, resource and interactive cooperation networks. Third, within the context of the knowledge economy, knowledge cooperation presents a stronger spillover and mediating effect in stimulating collaborative innovation than resource cooperation.Originality/valueThis study clarifies the existence of a knowledge cooperation network and its mediating role in stimulating the effectiveness of strategic, innovative platforms on collaborative innovation. This further verifies the stronger role of the knowledge cooperation than the resource cooperation, which serves as a vital element in promoting strategic innovative platforms to optimise collaborative innovation.
Consumer responses to infectious disease cues: an integrative framework and research agenda
Authors: M. Affonso Felipe 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to develop an integrative framework explaining how infectious disease cues influence consumer behavior by connecting evolutionary psychology and behavioral immune system literature with consumer research.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper synthesizes pathogen-avoidance psychology and consumer behavior research to identify three psychological changes (affect, cognition, motivation) influencing consumer responses, developing theoretical propositions across five domains while identifying boundary conditions.

Findings
Disease cues trigger changes in affect (disgust, anxiety), cognition (narrowed attention) and motivation (self-protection). These influence consumer responses across self-regulation, social behavior/identity, information processing, evaluation and prosocial/sustainable behaviors. The framework identifies boundary conditions moderating these effects.

Research limitations/implications
The framework advances understanding of disease threats’ influence on consumer behavior and suggests future research directions, including contextual effects and individual differences.

Practical implications
The framework helps marketers predict consumer responses to disease cues, offering insights for marketing strategies during health crises and normal times.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper provides the first comprehensive framework explaining disease cues’ systematic influence on consumer behavior through psychological changes, extending behavioral immune system theory into consumer domains.
Knowledge loss and retention in interorganizational projects: evidence from public transportation projects from Pakistan
Authors: Iftikhar Rehab , Rashid Mehvish 
Published: February 2025

PurposeKnowledge loss and retention are common phenomena not only for organizations but also for interorganizational projects, where multiple organizations are involved. This paper sets out to understand why knowledge loss occurs and how to retain knowledge, particularly in the context of interorganizational projects. For this purpose, the Orange Line Metro Rail Transit System in Lahore, the Bus Rapid Transit in Peshawar and the Green Line Metrobus in Karachi, all in Pakistan, were examined.Design/methodology/approachA multi-case study approach is employed in this paper. Empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews and archival documents. To analyze the data, we used a three-step thematization procedure, which included data condensation, data presentation and conclusion.FindingsThe findings present the determinants of knowledge loss, including high time pressure, memory decay, lack of sharing of personal knowledge and tenuous relationships between salary and experience. For knowledge retention, the findings provide evidence of the transformation of the working environment, externalization, job shadowing, the hiring and rehiring individuals and the provision of incentives.Originality/valueBy examining knowledge loss and retention in interorganizational projects, this article contributes to the literature on knowledge-based theory.
ERP systems and operational efficiency: comparison of the effectiveness of implementing foreign and domestic systems
Authors: Naidenova Iuliia , Smirnov Aleksei 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study examines the effectiveness of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation in Russian companies, considering the vendor’s country of origin and the context of sanctions.Design/methodology/approachTo estimate the impact of implementation, the event study method is employed, with a control group selected using propensity scores matching to address the issue of systematic self-selection. Operational efficiencies are calculated using the Stochastic Frontier Estimation method. The impact of the vendor’s country and the sanctions context is evaluated using regression analysis. The dataset comprises large manufacturing companies in Russia that adopted ERP systems between 2007 and 2021.FindingsThe results show that Russian companies benefit in operational efficiency even during the preparation phase for ERP implementation, and this effect persists up to a year post-implementation, after which it diminishes. Additionally, companies implementing ERP systems of foreign vendors gain more from the implementation. Moreover, the sanctions context drives an increase in operational efficiency. Furthermore, initially less efficient firms receive greater benefits from the implementation of ERP systems, while efficient firms receive smaller gains in operational efficiency.Originality/valueThis study offers new insights into how the choice of domestic or foreign vendor influences the impact of ERP adoption on operational efficiency in emerging economies. Our methodological contribution lies in extending the framework for analyzing operational efficiency to include firms with negative operating income, which is important in the context of emerging markets and turbulent environments.

Published: February 2025

PurposeWith the pandemic reshaping healthcare delivery, telemedicine has emerged as a vital solution for overcoming access barriers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Hence, this study explores the key drivers behind the sustained use of telemedicine services in low-income countries during the post-pandemic period.Design/methodology/approachUsing a quantitative research approach and purposive sampling technique, 273 valid responses were gathered from participants in Bangladesh. A comparative analysis utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) were conducted to ensure greater accuracy.FindingsThe PLS-SEM analysis revealed that expectation confirmation and perceived ease of use positively influence satisfaction. Similarly, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use directly impact Attitude toward telemedicine services. However, perceived usefulness and perceived security were not significantly associated with satisfaction and attitude toward telemedicine services, respectively. The findings highlight that user satisfaction drives continuance use intention for telemedicine services, but only when it also cultivates a positive attitude toward telemedicine services. While the PLS-SEM findings indicate that perceived usefulness has no significant relationship with satisfaction and perceived security is not significantly associated with attitude toward telemedicine services, the fsQCA results offer a different perspective. fsQCA reveals that perceived usefulness retains a significant association with satisfaction and that perceived security, regardless of whether its effect is high or low, is equally effective in contributing to the intention for continuous telemedicine use. These findings underscore fsQCA’s ability to provide deeper insights into the complex causal relationships among the antecedents.Practical implicationsThe findings provide valuable insights for hospitals, doctors and telemedicine providers on retaining existing users. Additionally, governments can leverage this information to address healthcare disparities between urban and rural areas. The study also identifies strategies to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of healthcare services.Originality/valueThis study advances telemedicine research by employing the extended technology continuance theory (ETCT) alongside a hybrid analytical approach that integrates PLS-SEM and fsQCA. It highlights that telemedicine organizations can boost patient confidence and encourage continued use by enhancing satisfaction and cultivating a positive user attitude. The innovative use of ETCT and the combined methodologies provide a comprehensive analysis, offering actionable strategies to retain telemedicine users in low-income countries during the post-pandemic period.
Top management team stability, corporate social responsibility and firm internationalization speed
Authors: Hu Man , Ding Zhenkuo , Li Longda 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of top management team (TMT) stability on firm internationalization speed, identifying the mediating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and moderating the role of institutional distance.Design/methodology/approachBased on a sample of Chinese companies from 2005 to 2020. This article used ordinary least squares to empirically test the impact of TMT stability on firm internationalization speed.FindingsOur main findings show that the more stable the TMT, the faster the internationalization speed of the enterprise. CSR mediates the influence of the TMT stability and firm internationalization speed, that is, the stable TMT is more willing to make decisions to assume more CSR based on the long-term sustainable development of the enterprise, thus influencing the firm internationalization speed. The greater institutional distance between the home country and the host country, the stronger the positive impacts of CSR on the firm internationalization speed.Originality/valueThis paper is of reference significance for enterprises to rationally formulate corporate internationalization strategies. We call on multinational enterprises (MNEs) to pay more attention to the TMT stability and the important role of CSR in the internationalization of enterprises in emerging economies.
An insight into the implications of investor sentiment on crash risk in Asia–Pacific stock markets: are uncertainty factors important?
Authors: Nguyen An Tuan , Nguyen Nhung Thi 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to examine the effect of investor sentiment on stock market crash risk in the Asia–Pacific region and the moderating role of uncertainty factors.

Design/methodology/approach
This research uses principal component analysis to construct an investor sentiment index of 17 Asia–Pacific stock markets before analyzing the data through hierarchical regression with the feasible generalized least squares method.

Findings
The empirical results show that investor sentiment has a positive impact on crash risk in the Asia–Pacific stock markets. This impact is more significant in advanced economies compared to emerging markets and developing economies. The nexus between investor sentiment and stock market crash risk is increased by economic policy uncertainty but decreased by uncertainty from pandemics.

Research limitations/implications
This study only investigates the moderating roles of global uncertainty factors but not local uncertainty factors. In addition, the sentiment of different investor groups has not been examined yet.

Practical implications
The findings of this study are relevant for global investors, portfolio managers and policymakers. Investors and portfolio managers can use sentiment indicators to predict downturns and adjust strategies, whereas policymakers can leverage these insights to design regulations that mitigate systemic risks during global uncertainties.

Originality/value
This study expands the literature on the relationship between investor sentiment and stock market crash risk, providing updated insights into sentimental bias in behavioral finance.
A study of the rationality criteria for the configuration of the capacitive six-axis force/torque sensors
Authors: Pu Minghui , Xue Bin , Lin Hu , Feng Haobin , Fan Jiale , Chen Jiahui 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Capacitive six-axis force/torque (F/T) sensors require various configurations to fulfill diverse performance requirements; however, a systematic method to assess the feasibility of any new configuration is lacking. This study aims to propose three criteria for evaluating the rationality of these configurations, enabling a quick determination of the feasibility of the initial structure of the sensor.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used sensitivity isotropy as a performance metric. By examining the signal conversion process from F/T to displacement using the compliance transformation matrix, the authors identified Criterion 1: the symmetry condition. By analyzing the decoupling process of the sensor, the authors discovered Criterion 2: the capacitor arrangement condition. Through the optimization of analog sensors, this study derived Criterion 3: the range and structural parameters conditions. Ultimately, this study designed and fabricated a sensor that fulfills these criteria, thereby demonstrating the feasibility of the approach through its performance.

Findings
By analogy with capacitive six-axis F/T sensors that have demonstrated exceptional performance in recent years, the authors have found that they all meet the criteria proposed in this paper. Furthermore, the sensor designed and fabricated in this study achieves an accuracy of 0.64% FS, surpassing both the accuracy and sensitivity of the commercially available high-performance ATI industrial automation (Gamma) sensor. This underscores the feasibility of this study’s criteria.

Originality/value
By following the configuration guidelines presented in this paper, designers can quickly assess whether a new configuration will perform well at the early stages of the design process. This makes it easier to consider other requirements while meeting the basic performance needs, thereby significantly enhancing design efficiency.
A comparative analysis of error correction procedures for skill acquisition in autistic students
Authors: Rizos Konstantinos , Fattal Sarah , Gouws Marlizanne , Meyer Sophie , Vostanis Athanasios 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two error correction methods – Model Prompt Switch Repeat (MPSR) and Error Statement, Modelling and Active student Response (ESMASR) – for teaching new skills to autistic students. This study evaluates which method results in faster and more effective skill mastery, measured by the number of trials needed to reach the mastery criterion, and assesses long-term retention of learned skills.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a multiple-treatment reversal design within an Applied Behaviour Analysis framework, this study involved four participants aged 13–15 years. The participants were taught using both MPSR and ESMASR methods, with data collected on how quickly they mastered new skills. Maintenance data were gathered at one and four weeks after teaching to assess skills retention.

Findings
This study found that the MPSR method led to faster and more sustained skill acquisition than ESMASR for most participants. MPSR demonstrated better long-term retention in several cases. These results emphasise the effectiveness of structured error correction procedures in improving learning outcomes for autistic students.

Research limitations/implications
Because of the small sample size and focus on a specific educational setting, the findings of this study may not apply broadly. Future research should test these methods across a wider variety of learners and settings to ensure broader applicability and validation of the results.

Practical implications
This study’s findings offer practical strategies for educators working with autistic students, showing that structured error correction procedures like MPSR can be integrated into daily teaching to improve skill acquisition and retention. These strategies can also inform educator training and instructional planning.

Social implications
This study contributes to a more inclusive education system by offering evidence-based methods that help autistic students succeed. By identifying effective teaching techniques, this research supports efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities for neurodivergent learners.

Originality/value
This study fills a gap in research by comparing two specific error correction methods in an ABA setting, providing fresh insights into which strategies most effectively promote skill acquisition and long-term learning in autistic students. This study also offers practical guidance for educators seeking evidence-based methods to improve student outcomes.

Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study aims to explore the factors influencing the quality of project delivery in the Nigerian construction industry, addressing a critical gap in the existing literature and providing insights for improving construction practices in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of survey data with qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews. The survey gathered data on various factors affecting project quality, while interviews provided contextual understanding and nuanced perspectives from industry professionals.FindingsThis study identifies seven key factors influencing project delivery quality: contractor performance (β = 0.235, p < 0.001), design and materials management (β = 0.180, p < 0.001), documentation and procurement (β = 0.175, p < 0.001), workforce management and skills (β = 0.142, p < 0.001), project management practices (β = 0.153, p < 0.001), budget and financial management (β = 0.139, p < 0.001) and government regulations (β = 0.080, p < 0.001). Contractor performance and design/materials management have the most significant impact, underscoring the need for strong contractor supervision, material standards and efficient design processes. Additionally, effective documentation and procurement are crucial for success, with procurement inefficiencies leading to delays and reduced quality. Workforce competencies also play a major role, as inadequate training and a lack of skilled labour result in construction defects and compromised project outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations of the study include its focus primarily on industry professionals' perspectives and its limited scope to the Nigerian context. Future research could explore additional stakeholder perspectives and extend the study to other geographical contexts.Practical implicationsThe findings offer valuable insights for construction professionals, policymakers, and other stakeholders, informing the development of a tailored approach to enhance quality project delivery in Nigeria. By addressing critical factors identified in the study, stakeholders can mitigate risks, improve project outcomes and contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature by comprehensively analysing the factors influencing quality project delivery in the Nigerian construction industry. Integrating quantitative and qualitative data provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in ensuring project quality, offering practical implications for industry practitioners and policymakers.
Naming and Framing: Six Principles for Embedding Health Equity Language in Policy Research, Writing, and Practice
Authors: KAALUND KAMARIA , PEARSON JAY A. , THOUMI ANDREA 
Published: February 2025

Policy Points
Science communication and health policy language often fail to adequately define and contextualize systemic barriers—like structural racism and wealth inequity—that contribute to disparities in health outcomes.
Health policy practitioners should understand best practices for communicating research and policy findings to various audiences and understand how to disseminate messages that are culturally and linguistically responsive to different community needs.
As no perfect term exists, adopting health equity language principles can help health policy practitioners avoid dehumanizing and exclusionary language as well as ill‐suited terminology that perpetuates racist systems and leads to inequities in population health.
ContextLanguage specificity in research, advocacy, and writing is an important tool to ensure more equitable health policies. All health policy practitioners working at the intersection of health care, health policy, and health equity have a role in upholding ethical standards that promote the use of humanizing, inclusive, and antisupremacist language.MethodsWe conducted an environmental scan and synthesized themes across commonly used and publicly available health equity language guides to provide specific guidance to health policy practitioners to inform their policy research, analysis, writing, and dissemination.FindingsWe identify and describe six guiding principles to dismantle systems that work against the goals of health equity through policy‐focused research, writing, and communications. These principles include avoiding blaming language, contextualizing health inequities, acknowledging that systems are not passive, understanding that one‐size‐fits‐all terminology does not exist, seeking input from community members, and paying attention to omissions.ConclusionsApplying these principles will better equip health policy practitioners to develop or inform equitable policies and meaningfully engage in dialogue with community members to advance equitable health policy.
