Re‐establishing memory: memory's functions and the reference librarian
Authors: Butler Walter 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThis paper seeks to re‐establish memory's role within reference librarianship, and to argue that continued research on how memory affects the reference librarian can encourage growth within the profession.Design/methodology/approachNeuroscience and psychological explanations of memory are introduced and then utilized to show how reference librarians access and impress memory. Perspectives on reference librarianship in relation to memory, service, education, and knowledge management are also presented and scrutinized.FindingsMemory is an integral part of librarianship, yet often overlooked. Memory is also a complex tool which comprising overlapping systems. Owing to the nature of these systems, it is sometimes difficult to decipher when one system is being utilized and another is not.Research limitations/implicationsMemory is not tangible, though neuroscience has been able to map out some processes. Because of memory's elusive quality, the paper relies heavily on present biological and psychological theories. There is a need to assess memory practices further in the realm of librarianship and to determine more ways in which memory can contribute to the enhancement of library services.Practical implicationsThe paper provides insight for the role of memory within reference librarianship, and suggests a structural basis to analyze librarian service through memory systems.Originality/valueUtilizing both psychological views and biological constructs of memory, the author systematically incorporates these ideas into roles which are beneficial to the development of the reference librarian and enhancement of reference services.
Towards a theoretical foundation of supply network interdependence and technology‐enabled coordination strategies
Authors: Skipper Joseph B. , Craighead Christopher W. , Byrd Terry Anthony , Kelly Rainer R. 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to provide a conceptual/theoretical foundation to enhance the body of knowledge related to supply chain interdependence and technology‐enabled coordination.Design/methodology/approachThe paper heavily engaged itself in the theory/literature related to coordination theory, interdependence theory, interdependence, coordination and supply chain technologies to formulate the theoretical propositions.FindingsFrom the literature/theoretical bases, the paper derived a total (include sub‐components) of eight theoretical propositions related to interdependence, coordination and technology enablers.Research limitations/implicationsWhile technology enabled‐coordination is central to supply chain management, there is a lack of a prescriptive view present in the literature. By deriving insights from the rich literature related to coordination theory and interdependence theory, we provide a theoretical foundation for future research to enhance the body of knowledge related to the systematic application of technology to foster the appropriate coordination strategy.Practical implicationsAlthough empirical support is warranted, the proposed concepts related to technology‐enabled coordination offer pragmatic advice to managers.Originality/valueThe paper provides a theoretical foundation for future research to enhance the body of knowledge related to the systematic application of technology to foster the appropriate coordination strategies.
Automated verification of disaster plans in incident management
Authors: Hoogendoorn Mark , Jonker Catholijn M. , Popova Viara , Sharpanskykh Alexei 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to create a formal specification language for disaster plans in order to remove possible inconsistencies between disaster plans, and to enable the automated verification of properties from such plans against logs of actual incidents.Design/methodology/approachDifferent types of properties in disaster plans have been identified and formalized using order‐sorted predicate logic, enabling automated comparison of plans and verification of such properties against logs by means of software tools. Actual disaster plans and logs have been used as a case study to show the working of the approach.FindingsThe automated approach can be used quite easily and result in important findings. For the case study disaster plans crucial differences were found that could have catastrophic consequences. Furthermore, it is shown that in the logs of a well‐known incident the disaster plan was not followed.Practical implicationsIf the approach is introduced in practice, disaster plans would be stored in a formal format, enabling the automated comparison of disaster plans, and immediate detection of derivation from a disaster plan in case of an incident.Originality/valueOther literature about the formal modelling of disaster plans that includes both structural and dynamical aspects and allows representation of organizational structure at multiple aggregation levels has not been found. Nor has comparing the disaster plans using such a formal model, and using the model of the disaster plan to check empirical traces for compliance with this plan, been addressed in prior literature.

Authors: Crutzen Rik , de Nooijer Jascha , Brouwer Wendy , Oenema Anke , Brug Johannes , de Vries Nanne K. 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to gain first insight into factors which might be associated with exposure to internet‐delivered interventions.Design/methodology/approachSemi‐structured focus group interviews were conducted with five groups of Dutch adolescents (n=54), aged 12‐17 years. Several aspects of exposure: a first visit; staying long enough actually to use and process the information; and revisiting the intervention, were explored.FindingsSeveral factors that are likely to improve exposure to internet‐delivered interventions were identified, such as the use of “word of mouth” marketing, comparison of own behaviour with friends and the use of reminders.Research limitations/implicationsFocus group interviews are only a first step in the generation of ideas and opinions. A next step would be to conduct observational, experimental and longitudinal studies to test if and how these factors improve exposure to internet‐delivered interventions.Practical implicationsThis paper is a useful source for those developing internet‐delivered interventions who want to improve exposure rates to their interventions.Originality/valueThe results of this exploration serve as an important first step to gain more insight into factors that improve exposure to internet‐delivered interventions.
The role of alcohol in a sexually motivated situation
Authors: Suvivuo Pia , Tossavainen Kerttu , Kontula Osmo 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study in detail what kind of role alcohol has among a selected group of sexually active teenage girls, with special emphasis on their locus of control and risky sexual behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThe data comprise the narratives of 87 girls regarding their experience with sexually motivating situations that involved alcohol. The narratives were analysed with a categorical‐content mode of reading.FindingsNarratives belonging to the category ”Everything under control” involved self‐directed girls with strong self‐control who remained in control of the sexually motivated situation despite their drunkenness. “Let it go” narratives were characterised by outwardly directed girls with weak self‐control, irrespective of alcohol use. The effect of alcohol was most noticeable in “I both wanted and didn't want” narratives by girls who had shaky and situation‐dependent self‐control. Their ability to control a sexually motivated situation was unstable and considerably affected by alcohol use.Practical implicationsAlcohol use should be taken into account in sex education and vice versa. Sexual issues should be brought up in education concerning substance use. Young girls should be taught to recognise their own feelings and to consider beforehand what they want from their dating relationships. Role playing can be a useful tool in learning how to better handle sexually motivated situations. A feeling of regret can be utilised in health education both in providing knowledge and as a motivation for behavioural reform.Originality/valueThis study provides sophisticated information for comprehension of the conflicting results of earlier surveys, and it suggests that the association between alcohol use and sexual behaviour is affected by the type of self‐control tendency that girls possess.
Developing the business case for a digital library project
Authors: Cervone H. Frank 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of the role comprehensive business cases can have in ensuring the successful adoption of a digital library project.Design/methodology/approachUsing theory and practice from information technology in both profit and non‐profit organizations, the author develops a methodology for developing a successful business case for digital library projects.FindingsOne of the major tasks a digital library project manager faces is getting their project approved and in the queue for development. By exploiting the full potential of the planning phase of the SDLC (systems development lifecycle), a digital project manager can develop a compelling business case for their proposed project. By using SWOT analysis as well as additional considerations, the project manager should identify how the project will address critical organizational (business) issues and success factors as well as provide a compelling case for action. In particular, the most successful business cases develop compelling cases for action by carefully crafting solid arguments for why the digital project being proposed is the most important project an organization to undertake out of all the potential projects that might exist.Originality/valueThis paper fills a gap in the digital project management literature by providing a step‐by‐step process for developing compelling business cases for digital library projects.
The long and winding road
Authors: Herb Ulrich , Müller Matthias 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to describe the open access archiving of scientific primary and secondary literature on the institutional and the disciplinary repository of the Saarland University and State Library. The challenges, opportunities and success factors of both repositories are compared and evaluated.Design/methodology/approachThe article is based on the findings and experiences of eight years of open access archiving practice.FindingsBasic requirements for success and acceptance are: quality control and standardisation that could be proved for example by an official certificate; and visibility and dissemination – researchers emphasize that their documents are indexed by the databases most common within their community. This applies especially to disciplinary repositories.Originality/valueUniversities should undoubtedly offer an institutional repository. Usually the university library runs this repository. The article lists some key points that should be considered when an organisation plans to start and run an institutional or disciplinary repository.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the DigiTool software has been used to create a university digital repository.Design/methodology/approachThe paper outlines the project team's experience of using the DigiTool software and evaluates its potential for the creation of academic digital libraries.FindingsThe initial trials and first live projects demonstrate that DigiTool is a proprietary software solution with all the capabilities required to create an open access digital repository. The test work described in this paper will contribute to future enhancements to the software.Practical applicationsThe paper will be of interest to project managers involved in the evaluation and selection of digital library softwareOriginality/valueDigiTool is relatively new to the UK market and this is a report of the first UK digital repository created using it.
The language barrier and its implications for HQ‐subsidiary relationships
Authors: Harzing Anne‐Wil , Feely Alan J. 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThis paper intends to open up the debate on the influence of language on the way multinational companies manage their subsidiary operations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors explain the importance of the field and expose a dearth of prior research. Subsequently, they define the “language barrier” and elaborate on the causes underlying this barrier, drawing on social identity theory.FindingsThe authors we propose an integrative model that consists of two coupled vicious cycles: the communications cycle – composed of the eight aspects of the language barrier – and the management cycle.Research limitations/implicationsThis contribution to an otherwise ignored field of business study should be considered only a first step in opening up a new research agenda. Specialists in each of the fields touched upon are invited to make a contribution to the debate.Practical implicationsThe management cycle suggests implications of the language barrier for various aspects of the HQ‐subsidiary relationship: strategic decision‐making, organization and personnel selection, global integration strategies, and autonomy and control procedures.Originality/valueThis paper uses socio‐linguistic theory to define and elaborate on the construct of the language barrier, a construct which is believed will be helpful in furthering research on the impact of language‐difference on multinational management.
The link between cultural value systems and strategic marketing
Authors: Lee Yang‐Im , Trim Peter R.J. 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to make clear how managers in Western organizations can understand the Japanese and Korean cultural value system and interpret the strategic decision‐making process that exists within organizations exhibiting a collectivist culture.Design/methodology/approachA literature review was undertaken and several studies, either jointly or separately undertaken by the authors, were drawn upon in order to provide depth to the analysis and interpretation.FindingsAlthough there are similarities between Japanese and Korean people, there are a number of distinct differences between them. These differences have come about as a result of Buddhism and Confucianism being adopted at different points in each country's history, and the fact that these countries have developed their own unique cultural value system. The differences manifest in organizational characteristics, which provide Japanese and Korean organizations with a specific identity, management model and way of doing business. What is evident, however, is that managers in both Japanese and Korean organizations are familiar with the relationship marketing concept and actively embrace the strategic marketing approach.Research limitations/implicationsUndertaking research into national cultural value systems and organizational cultural value systems is complex and requires an interdisciplinary approach. It can also be suggested that more emphasis needs to be placed on undertaking research of this kind in both Japan and Korea. Furthermore, it is advocated that a longitudinal study is undertaken in order to provide both evidence of how organizational cultural value systems within a collectivist culture change through time, and how cultural traits influence the decision‐making process.Practical implicationsManagers in Western organizations will be able to relate to the value systems of Japanese and Korean organizations and as a consequence, will understand how long‐term trustworthy relationships are developed. This should facilitate the negotiation of business deals and result in business partnerships being developed that are based on mutuality.Originality/valueThe interdisciplinary approach adopted allowed the authors to view culture from several perspectives and to link more firmly national cultural value systems with organizational cultural value systems, and with organizational identity. By adopting this research strategy, the authors were able to explain how organizational identity is influenced by and reinforced by the concept of strategic marketing.
How IT purchasing preparedness facilitates e‐marketplace usage
Authors: Truong Dothang , Jitpaiboon Thawatchai 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThis research aims to examine the extent of e‐marketplace usage from the buyer perspective. Three types of e‐marketplace – third party exchange, consortium exchange, and private exchange – are compared and the impact of the buyer's information technology (IT) purchasing preparedness on the extent of e‐marketplace usage is evaluated.Design/methodology/approachA web‐based survey of 359 purchasing professionals in the USA is used in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the extent of e‐marketplace usage among the three e‐marketplace types. Multiple regression methodology is also used to test the impact of IT purchasing preparedness on the extent of e‐marketplace usage.FindingsThe results indicate that there is no significant difference among the three types of e‐marketplaces in regard to the extent of current e‐marketplace usage and planned e‐marketplace usage. Additionally, IT purchasing preparedness appears to have a positive impact on e‐marketplace usage.Research limitations/implicationsThe research empirically confirms the positive impact of IT purchasing preparedness on e‐marketplace usage. Nevertheless, it was limited to the buyer side and did not examine the interaction of IT purchasing preparedness and other influencing factors.Practical implicationsThe research provides useful information for companies who are using or plan to use the e‐marketplace for purchasing. It also helps market participants to choose an appropriate e‐marketplace based upon their own IT purchasing preparedness.Originality/valueThis research fills the gap in the existing e‐marketplace literature and provides empirical evidence for e‐marketplace usage and the impact of IT purchasing preparedness.
A hybrid power‐saving protocol by dual‐channel and dual‐transmission‐range clustering for IEEE 802.11‐based MANETs
Authors: Jiang Jehn‐Ruey , Yang Chau‐Yuan , Chiou Ting‐Yao , Huang Shing‐Tsaan 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThere are two types of medium access control (MAC) layer power‐saving (PS) protocols for IEEE 802.11‐based mobilead hocnetworks: synchronous and asynchronous ones. This paper seeks to propose a hybrid PS protocol to take advantages of both types of protocols.Design/methodology/approachThe protocol utilizes the concept of dual‐channel and dual‐transmission‐range clustering. It divides all the hosts into clusters. Each cluster has a head and all the heads are organized as a virtual backbone to help route data. The protocol also utilizes the cluster head dismissal mechanism to avoid the ever‐increasing of cluster heads and to adapt to topology changing.FindingsSimulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol is more power‐efficient and more scalable than related protocols.Originality/valueThe proposed protocol is applicable to MANETs composed of hosts with single IEEE 802‐11 network interface card.
Mobilizing technology transfer from university to industry
Authors: Sharif Naubahar , Baark Erik 
Published: February 2008

PurposeThe present paper seeks to illuminate the role played by university‐based technology transfer offices (TTOs) in driving the transfer of research‐based knowledge and technology from institutions of higher education to industry in Hong Kong.Design/methodology/approachFollowing a literature review, the authors use empirical data on technology transfer and innovation, and case studies of existing TTOs at City University of Hong Kong (City U) and Hong Kong University of Technology and Science (HKUST), to analyze and illustrate the changing nature of the role that TTOs have played in Hong Kong, from the late 1980s to the present.FindingsIt is found that, while TTOs originally served primarily to generate additional revenues for their affiliated universities through the creation and commercialization of intellectual property, that role has gradually evolved to support innovative start‐up companies through technology transfer.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited in having included only two case studies. In the future more cases should be examined, not only of other spin‐offs and start‐ups from City U and HKUST, but also from other Hong Kong universities as well. The study implies that TTOs should continue to learn how to respond to the needs of start‐ups through self‐evaluation. Universities should better manage TTOs, and the government, through better understanding of the capacity of TTOs to create spin‐offs, should develop policy measures that facilitate the process.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to examine the role of TTOs using a case‐study approach, especially in addressing the relationship between university‐industry linkages and the broader innovation system in Hong Kong.
