Understanding local consumers' reactions to perceived unfair product recalls of foreign brands: a relative deprivation perspective
Authors: Liao Junyun , He Siying , Hu Yanghong , Chen Jiawen , Dong Xuebing 
Published: January 2023

PurposeGlobal product-harm crises increased in recent years. After such crises, firms' product-recall policies varied across countries, which might cause consumers in some countries to feel unfairly treated. Drawing on the relative deprivation theory, this study aims to examine how perceived unfairness of local consumers alters their attitudes toward unfairness-enacting foreign brands and competing domestic brands.Design/methodology/approachThis framework was tested by a netnography study on two product recalls from Samsung along with a consumer survey. While this netnography study provided preliminary support to the framework, survey data collected from 501 Samsung consumers after the Galaxy Note 7 crisis validated the theoretical model again.FindingsPerceived unfairness increases local consumers' avoidance of involved foreign brands and their intention to purchase domestic brands through evoking anger toward the foreign brands. Moreover, the detrimental impact of perceived unfairness is found to be stronger when consumers' prior relationship quality is high.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that investigates unfair product recalls across countries and aims to provide important insights into how consumers react to the unfair treatment of foreign brands in a global product-harm context. This study contributes to the product-harm crisis literature and provides important implications for global product-harm crisis management strategies.
Leagile manufacturing system adoption in an emerging economy: an examination of technological, organizational and environmental drivers
Authors: Hashem Gharib , Aboelmaged Mohamed 
Published: January 2023

PurposeRapid changes in the global environment and the effects of existing economic issues triggered by COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine have posed several challenges for manufacturing firms. A hybrid strategy integrating lean and agile (leagile) systems is viable for firms to enhance their capabilities in such dynamic contexts. This paper examines the critical drivers of leagile manufacturing system adoption in an emerging economy from the technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) perspective.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey is carried out to obtain data from 438 managers working in 219 manufacturing firms. Multiple regression analysis is applied to test the effect of technological, organizational and environmental drivers on the adoption of leagile systems.FindingsThe results show that organization capacity, environmental uncertainty and relative advantage demonstrate the most significant positive relationships with the leagile systems adoption wherein complexity and resistance to change appear to exhibit significant negative associations. Unexpectedly, firm size unveils no significant effect on the adoption of leagile systems.Practical implicationsTo deal effectively with critical challenges triggered by ever-changing environment, firms have sought to adopt innovative systems for achieving products' availability in the markets at the right quality and price. A hybrid strategy integrating lean and agile (leagile) systems is viable to enhance a firm's capabilities in such dynamic contexts. The findings of our study help top management and policymakers identify and assess the critical drivers that may facilitate or hinder the successful adoption of leagile systems.Originality/valueA major trend of studies in the field of manufacturing systems has focused on the critical success factors of adopting either lean or agile systems. Furthermore, research work concerning leagile as a hybrid system focuses primarily on the conceptual development rather than empirical grounds of leagile systems. Given the lack of empirical research in this field, this study offers an early attempt to predict leagile system adoption in an emerging economy. It also contributes to the manufacturing systems research by extending the extant knowledge about the role of firm-level drivers in leagile system adoption from the TOE perspective.

Published: January 2023

Learning outcomes
After completing the case, the students shall be able to do the following:▪ explain the key features and roles associated with non-governmental organizations (NGOs; comprehension);▪ describe major activities/programs run by Kilkaari-Bachpan Ki (knowledge);▪ describe the challenges faced by not-for-profit, non-governmental and voluntary organizations operating at a local level (knowledge);▪ developing TOWS matrix for Kilkaari’s strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities to provide strategies for making the necessary change (analysis);▪ explain the change management strategies used by Kilkaari during COVID-19 using Kurt Lewin’s model (analysis); and▪ develop recommendations for the problems faced by Kilkaari (evaluation).

Case overview/synopsis
As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world was left in shambles. The epidemic has had a profound impact on the way organizations used to function. It compelled all sectors and companies to change their working methods and move closer to virtual conceptions. Organizations that were able to adapt to the new environment have thrived, while the rest have struggled and continue to struggle. In today’s world, embracing virtual scenarios is more about perseverance and consistency than it is about making a conscious decision. Organizations such as NGOs have limited financial and non-financial means to adapt to such changes, and some of them were unable to suffice during the tough times.Despite this, the current case study focuses on the NGOs’ path during the pandemic: Kilkaari-Bachpan Ki. The NGO’s primary objective is to provide underprivileged children with free access to education. The current scenario illustrates how the Kilkaarians (team members of Kilkaari) modified their behavior in response to the crisis. To be used in an organizational behavior course, the case is intended for management students. Kurt Lewin’s model of change, which includes unfreezing, mobility and refreezing, can be understood by students. For this research, the authors use a case-study approach to explore how the organization responded when faced with a crisis.

Complexity academic level
This case is suitable for undergraduate students learning organizational behavior course, strategic management and also relevant to social work courses (social entrepreneurship/NGOs).

Education as economic stimulus in the human capital century
Authors: Forsyth Hannah 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis paper explores the economic and social effects of human capital investment in the 20th century. As well as drawing on census data and statistical yearbooks in Australia and Aoteoroa/New Zealand, the paper develops its argument by an intersection of scholarly work in sociology, economics and the history of education to consider the effects of increased human capital investment on economic growth but also on the experiences of childhood, work discipline and the present climate crisis.Design/methodology/approachThis paper considers the implications of what economic historian Claudia Goldin has described as the “human capital century” for the history of school and university education. By reconsidering education in the settler colonies, especially Australia and Aoteoroa/New Zealand, as “stimulus”, this helps explain key aspects of contemporary human capital investment, which the paper argues should be understood as constituted by children's and young people's free labour at school, university and across the economy.FindingsThis research argues that children's and young people's free labour, performed in educational institutions, constitutes a large portion of Australia and Aoteoroa/New Zealand's national investment in human capital. At key points, this investment has acted as an economic stimulus, promoting surges of profitability. The effects were not confined to young people. Systematised, educational expansion also became the foundation of environmental degradation, labour market exploitation and a relentless increase in service-sector productivity that is worn on professional bodies. Productivity increases have been associated with reduced professional autonomy as a managerial class coerced professionals into working harder, though often under the guise of working “smarter” – a fiction that encouraged or coerced even greater personal investment in collective human capital. This investment of personal time, effort and selfhood by children and the professionals they grew into can thus be seen, in Marxian terms, as a crucial vector of capitalist exploitation in the 20th century.Practical implicationsThe paper concludes by suggesting that a reduction of managerial influence in educational settings would improve learner and professional autonomy with improved labour and environmental conditions.Originality/valueThe paper makes a unique contribution to the history of education by exploring education as stimulus as a key component of education’s role in 20th and 21st century capitalism. It interrogates exploitative aspects of human capital investment, especially in the midst of environmental catastrophe and the recent COVID crisis.
Learning-to-learn sand cone model integrated lean learning framework for construction industry
Authors: Parameswaran Agana , Ranadewa K.A.T.O. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe lack of knowledge has hindered the successful implementation of lean in the construction industry. This has alarmed the need for lean learning practices. Out of numerous models, the learning-to-learn sand cone model received a wider acknowledgment for learning practices. Thus, this study aims to propose a learning-to-learn sand cone model integrated lean learning framework for the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThe research adopted an interpretivism stance. A qualitative research approach was adopted for the study. Consequently, fifteen (15) semi-structured interviews and document reviews were carried out to collect data in three (3) cases selected through purposive sampling. Code-based content analysis was used to analyse the data.FindingsFifty-two (52) sub-activities pertaining to nine lean learners at each stage of the lean learning procedure were identified. The most significant practices in the lean learning procedure to continuously improve lean learning in the organisation were maintaining records, providing a performance update to senior management and preparing and distributing several hierarchical manuals for all levels of staff to aid in the implementation of lean approaches.Originality/valueThe findings of the research can be aided to successfully implement lean by following the identified sub-activities via various parties within the organisation. The proposed lean learning framework opens several research areas on lean learning in the construction industry. This is the first research to uncover a lean learning framework in the construction industry rather than at the educational institute level.
Widespread and ongoing invasion by the ant Technomyrmex brunneus Forel in eastern Asia as elucidated by molecular data
Authors: Putri Diyona , Cronin Adam L. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractAnts are among the most pervasive and impactful invasive species. While some characteristics of invasive ants have been linked to establishment success and competitive dominance, these traits are not universal to all successful invaders and much crucial information on the biology of both well‐known and lesser‐known invasive ants remains lacking. In this study, we address this knowledge gap using a molecular approach to define the ongoing invasion by the white‐footed ant, Technomyrmex brunneus, in eastern Asia. This species is native to eastern and south‐eastern Asia but has become a problematic invader in Japan where significant expansions in range have been documented in recent decades. Its status in eastern Asia is complicated by taxonomic confusion and misidentifications, creating significant hurdles to threat assessment, management, and the establishment of fundamental information such as the delineation of the native and invasive range. We combine mitochondrial DNA sequences with genome‐wide single‐nucleotide polymorphisms to elucidate relationships between populations from Vietnam to Japan. Our data reveal very limited genetic differentiation among populations despite their broad geographic spread. This can most parsimoniously be explained as a recent and ongoing invasion, likely facilitated by human dispersal. The one exception to this pattern was strong genetic distinction between two regions in China indicated by mitochondrial DNA. We speculate that this may indicate a boundary between a native population and more recent wave of invasion. Finally, we present the results of climate niche modeling indicating that extensive additional areas remain suitable for this species, suggesting this invasion is far from complete.
The mysterious non‐arbuscular mycorrhizal status of Brassicaceae species
Authors: Sharma Aprajita , Sinharoy Senjuti , Bisht Naveen C. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe Brassicaceae family is unique in not fostering functional symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM). The family is also special in possessing glucosinolates, a class of secondary metabolites predominantly functioning for plant defence. We have reviewed what effect the glucosinolates of this non‐symbiotic host have on AM or vice versa. Isothiocyanates, the toxic degradation product of the glucosinolates, particularly the indolic and benzenic glucosinolates, are known to be involved in the inhibition of AM. Interestingly, AM colonization enhances glucosinolate production in two AM‐host in the Brassicales family‐ Moringa oleifera and Tropaeolum spp. PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE 1 (PHR1), a central transcription factor that controls phosphate starvation response also activates the glucosinolate biosynthesis in AM non‐host Arabidopsis thaliana. Recently, the advances in whole‐genome sequencing, enabling extensive ecological microbiome studies have helped unravel the Brassicaceae microbiome, identifying new mutualists that compensate for the loss of AM symbiosis, and reporting cues for some influence of glucosinolates on the microbiome structure. We advocate that glucosinolate is an important candidate in determining the mycorrhizal status of Brassicaceae and has played a major role in its symbiosis‐defence trade‐off. We also identify key open questions in this area that remain to be addressed in the future.

AbstractIn intensive pig production, the fighting behavior of weaning piglets after merging pens is relatively common. Fighting behavior not only easily causes injury in pigs but also affects the production performance of pigs. To reduce fighting behavior in farms, this study aimed to explore the possible effect of odorous substances on piglet fighting behavior after merging into a large pen. Six different sprays were tested: original creamy, cheese flavor, orange flavor, truffle, vanilla and pigpen flavor. In each experiment, two groups were set (one odor‐sprayed and no sprayed control), and 12 pigs were used per group. After mixing, the frequency of occurrence of various piglet behaviors in different pens was recorded. During this period, salivary cortisol levels and skin lesion scores were evaluated. As a result, the piglets sprayed with the original creamy, cheese flavor and vanilla substances obtained significantly higher average daily gain and feed intake and showed a significantly lower incidence of fighting behavior, and the skin lesion score and salivary cortisol of piglets were also reduced significantly. All the other odorous substances had no significant effects on the fighting behavior and production performance of piglets.

Published: January 2023

AimsDiabetes mellitus affects the pharmacokinetics of cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5) substrates. We evaluated the relationship between haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and the pharmacokinetics of controlled‐release tacrolimus.MethodsThis retrospective observational cohort study included kidney transplant recipients (>18 years) receiving controlled‐release tacrolimus orally. CYP3A5 genotypes were categorized as expressers (*1/*1 or *1/*3) and non‐expressers (*3/*3). Multiple linear regression analysis determined the predictors for trough concentration/dose‐normalized by body weight (C/D) ratio of tacrolimus at 7 days, 6 months and 12 months after administration. Correlations between the C/D ratio and HbA1c levels at baseline, 6 and 12 months after tacrolimus initiation were evaluated with Bonferroni correction.ResultsOut of 42 patients (CYP3A5 expressers, n = 17, and non‐expressers, n = 25), the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the C/D ratio on Day 7 was marginally higher in CYP3A5 non‐expressers than in CYP3A5 expressers (r = .43, P = .028). Factors affecting the elevation of tacrolimus C/D ratio after 6 and 12 months of treatment were male sex and CYP3A5 non‐expressers (r = .59, P < .001) and increased HbA1c levels and CYP3A5 non‐expressers (r = .62, P < .001), respectively. The C/D ratio and HbA1c levels after 12 months was positively correlated in CYP3A5 non‐expressers (y = 54.6x − 194.6, r = .63, P = .004, Bonferroni correction). Furthermore, intra‐individual changes in the C/D ratio and HbA1c levels from 6 to 12 months were nearly correlated (y = 54.5x + 20.2, r = .41, P = .036, Bonferroni correction).ConclusionHbA1c and CYP3A5 genotypes might be considered to understand the inter‐ and intra‐individual variability in blood tacrolimus concentrations after 6 months post‐kidney transplantation.
Which types of firm use collaborative innovative spaces?
Authors: Doloreux David , Shearmur Richard , Suire Raphaël , Berthinier‐Poncet Anne 
Published: January 2023

Collaborative innovation spaces (CIS) can bring together multiple actors to enhance creativity, collaboration and knowledge exchange, sometimes leading to innovation. In this paper, we suggest that CIS can be categorized into three broad types (internal to the firm, external and virtual) and that each type is related to innovation processes, knowledge‐sourcing and geographic context in specific ways. Our results, based on an original firm‐level survey, reveal that there is heterogeneity with respect to firm attributes and innovation activities associated with different types of CIS. In particular, whilst innovation is associated with the use of CIS in general, radical and technological innovations are more strongly associated with internal CIS, whereas smaller firms tend to use virtual CIS. External CIS, whilst not associated with technological innovation, are associated with high‐tech firms. CIS use does not vary across geographic context. These results emphasize the importance of in‐person, internal, CIS for radical and technological innovation and the need to distinguish between different types of CIS in order to understand how each is associated with different types of innovation, knowledge‐sourcing and firm.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a debilitating condition that has been significantly described in adults. Recent data points out that BPPV occurs in children as well. Canalith repositioning manoeuvre (CRM) has shown promising results amongst adult patients with BPPV.ObjectiveWe reviewed the literature to determine the outcome of CRM in children and adolescents with BPPV.MethodsA literature search was conducted over 1 month (March 2022). The primary outcome was defined as the resolution of positional nystagmus and symptoms, and secondary outcomes were determined by the presence of recurrence and the number of attempts of CRM.ResultsTen articles were selected based on our objective and selection criteria. A total of 242 patients were included, with a mean of 10.9 years. BPPV was diagnosed based on history and positional nystagmus in all patients (100%). CRM was performed in 97.9% of patients, whereby 80.5% recovered following a single attempt of CRM. Recurrence of symptoms was identified in 10% of patients with no reported major complications.ConclusionCRM has demonstrated promising results in children and adolescents. The quality of evidence is limited until a better‐quality study involving randomised controlled studies with a larger sample size is completed.

Published: January 2023

SummaryDupilumab interferes with the signaling pathways of IL‐4 and IL‐13 and is effective in treating atopic dermatitis. Specific genodermatoses, including Netherton syndrome, epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, and hyper‐IgE syndrome, are Th2 skewed diseases with activation of type 2 inflammation. We performed this systematic review to investigate the therapeutic role of dupilumab in the treatment of genodermatosis. A systematic search was conducted of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from inception to December 13, 2021. The review included studies with relevant terms including “dupilumab,” “genodermatosis”, “Netherton syndrome”, “ichthyosis”, “epidermolysis bullosa” and “hyper‐IgE syndrome”. The initial search yielded 2,888 results, of which 28 studies and 37 patients with genodermatosis were enrolled. The assessed genodermatoses included Netherton syndrome, epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, hyper‐IgE syndrome, Hailey‐Hailey disease, and severe eczema associated with genetic disorders. Most of the reported cases showed significant clinical improvement after the initiation of dupilumab treatment without major adverse events. Decreased immunoglobulin E levels and cytokine normalization have also been documented. In conclusion, Dupilumab may have a potential therapeutic role in certain genodermatoses skewed towards T helper 2 (Th2) immunity, including Netherton syndrome, epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, hyper‐IgE syndrome, Hailey‐Hailey disease, and severe eczema associated with some genetic disorders.
