How do consumers select between hotels and Airbnb? A hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice
Authors: Mody Makarand Amrish , Jung Sean , Dogru Tarik , Suess Courtney 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of key decision-making attributes on consumers’ choice of accommodation among and between hotels and Airbnb.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a choice-based conjoint approach using 21 key decision-making factors that impact consumers’ choice of accommodation across five segments ranging from economy to luxury. Latent class estimation was used to identify segments of respondents who tend to have similar preferences for accommodation.

Findings
The results showed the presence of a consistent pattern of decision-making across the five accommodation segments, culminating in a hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice. The 21 key decision-making attributes comprised three tiers in order of decreasing importance: quality and service, amenities, and accessibility and safety. Further, latent class analysis indicated the presence of a hotel group and an Airbnb group of customers, which allowed us to identify how both types of providers might maximize the value of their offers to encourage customer switch.

Research limitations/implications
The accommodation landscape is extremely dynamic (particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds) and complex. The present study cannot capture all of its intricacies but provides an invaluable foundation for future research on the topic of consumer choice in an evolving and competitive accommodation market.

Originality/value
Extant research on accommodation choice has focused on hotels or Airbnb only. Moreover, research that has considered both types of accommodation simultaneously is limited in its conceptual and methodological scope. The present study synthesizes the fragmented literature on consumers’ accommodation choices and offers a holistic and coherent schematic – the hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice – that can be used by future researchers and practitioners alike.
Stock price crash risk and the adoption of poison pills: evidence from Brazil
Authors: Azevedo Yuri Gomes Paiva , Schwarz Lucas Allan Diniz , Gomes Hellen Bomfim , Ambrozini Marcelo Augusto 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of stock price crash risk on the adoption of poison pills.Design/methodology/approachThe authors estimate logit and probit regressions. Their sample includes 185 Brazilian public firms for the period 2010–2018. Following previous studies, the authors use the negative skewness of firm-specific weekly returns and the down-to-up volatility of firm-specific weekly returns as measures of firm's stock price crash risk. As proxies of poison pills, the authors employ the “conventional” poison pills in their baseline models and the “eternity” poison pills, which prevent the removal of poison pills from bylaws, in additional models.FindingsThe authors find that stock price crash risk measures are not associated with poison pill adoption. However, although stock price crash risk does not lead to poison pill adoption as a complementary corporate governance mechanism that protects firms against hostile takeover attempts, further results show that managers do not draw on stock price crash risk as a pretext to entrench themselves. Additional analyses also highlight that CEO power seems to play a role in moderating the relationship between stock price crash risk and eternity poison pill adoption.Originality/valueThe authors contribute to the literature on stock price crash risk, which calls for research in international contexts to better understand the effect of stock price crash risk on country-specific idiosyncratic features. The authors discuss a controversial anti-takeover mechanism that has been debated by Brazilian policymakers.
The impact of gender and political embeddedness on firm performance: evidence from China
Authors: Teng Ying , Gimmon Eli , Heilbrunn Sibylle , Song Shenyi 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThis study explored the mediating effect of political embeddedness on the relationship between gender and performance of private enterprises in the emerging economy of China. Political embeddedness is examined in terms of personal characteristics of owners and their firm.Design/methodology/approachSecondary data were collected from the Chinese Private Enterprises Survey for the years 2002, 2006, 2014 and 2016 using responses to identical questions. Tobit models were implemented to examine hypotheses related to the gender gap. A bootstrapping approach was applied to examine hypotheses related to mediation through political embeddedness.FindingsThe gender effect on enterprise performance was found to be partially mediated by political embeddedness at the personal level and even more strongly by political embeddedness at the firm level, which is beyond the well-known mediation effect of bank loans.Research limitations/implicationsThe Chinese sample, in which guanxi plays a significant role with respect to women-led firms, may limit the generalizability of the findings to other emerging economies.Practical implicationsGiven the mediating effects on firm performance of political embeddedness at the personal and firm levels, women business owners in China should pursue political involvement, possibly with the support of policymakers and mentors.Originality/valueThe relationship between businesswomen and political embeddedness is underexplored. This study innovates by applying the gender lens to the notion of political embeddedness and extending the construct of personal political embeddedness to the firm level.
TQM model based on Deming prize for schools
Authors: Alauddin Nursuhana , Yamada Shu 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to develop a total quality management (TQM) model based on the Deming prize criteria extracted from the Deming Prize. The proposed model is aligned with the school education context and deployed with the goal of achieving school excellence.

Design/methodology/approach
The model is developed based on a literature review in which key concepts for formulating the criteria and sub-criteria were identified. A qualitative research approach is applied to validate the model’s effectiveness. Interviews and feedback from an international school in Japan which adopted the model are used to determine its impact.

Findings
The model emphasises the achievement of school objectives (A) by implementing TQM activities (B) and assessing their impact (C). Its implementation offers enhanced organisational ability and the achievement of society-oriented school objectives. The findings show that the model gives clarity to TQM application and offers benefits for schools’ future sustainability.

Originality/value
This research proposes the adoption of a TQM model for educational institutions based on Deming criteria. Based on a comparison with prescriptive models such as Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and ISO 9001, this study shows how the developed model ensures organisational ability in current practice and future growth towards school excellence. Through the formulation of society-oriented school objectives and their linkage with results, it enables schools to create a balanced recognition of important stakeholders and gain consensus in realising the school’s objectives.
State-of-the-art review of the reliability evaluation of concrete beams exposed to fire
Authors: Coelho Tulio , Diniz Sofia , Rodrigues Francisco , Van Coile Ruben 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the state of the art for the reliability evaluation of reinforced concrete beams in a fire situation. Special emphasis is placed on addressing which parameters were considered probabilistically or deterministically, the prescribed probabilistic models for the assumed stochastic variables, the treatment of the heat transfer mechanism, the quantification of the structural fire performance and the assumed target reliability levels.Design/methodology/approachResearch papers were identified through a search on the Web of Science, Google Scholar and detailed searches within the journals Journal of Structural Fire Engineering, Fire Technology and Fire Safety Journal, supplemented with references known by the authors.FindingsConsidering the state-of-the-art review, gaps in the literature are identified related to (1) the probabilistic evaluation of shear capacity for standard fires and parametric fires, and bending capacity for parametric fires, (2) the absence of reference fragility curves for immediate design application/code calibration and (3) the specification of target safety levels for reliability-based design.Originality/valueThe lack of research papers gathering studies on the reliability of reinforced concrete beams in fire situation makes it difficult to further develop research in the area. The value of this work lies precisely in the collection of the basic information, making it possible to identify gaps to be addressed in future research and the suggestion of a research framework.
Job training satisfaction and knowledge sharing in IT company: a case study
Authors: Buonomo Ilaria , Piccinini Marco , Benevene Paula , Blasutig Gabriele , Cervai Sara 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This research aims to understand whether and how the perceptions that employees build and share over time about training activities and opportunities at work are linked to the knowledge management processes within the organization. This study aims at measuring how different levels of job training satisfaction are linked to employee perceptions of knowledge-sharing (KS) practices at work.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 179 employees from an information and technology firm in Italy took part in the study, by completing questionnaires on job training satisfaction, KS practices and job-related variables (i.e. years of experience, hours of training in the previous year, job role and organizational area of belonging).

Findings
Findings showed that high job training satisfaction is related to positive perceptions of KS practices, so that when employees are satisfied with their job training experiences, they are more likely to value and recognize those practices.

Research limitations/implications
The relation between job training satisfaction and KS practices needs to be extended to different sectors and organizations to be generalized.

Social implications
Training activities within the organization are at the core of knowledge management practices and constitute a main source of sustainable competitive advantage; human resource management should reconsider the importance of monitoring training perceptions inside the organization, to become more conscious of the value and impact of these practices, in particular about training strategies.

Originality/value
Although great attention has been given to single-training satisfaction, only few studies consider the wider impact of job training satisfaction and its possible impact on knowledge sharing.
Egyptian physicians' information-seeking behavior while serving in public isolation hospitals for coronavirus patients
Authors: Mansour Essam , Shehata Ahmed , Farrag Abdelrahman 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the information-seeking behavior of Egyptian physicians serving in COVID-19 isolation hospitals.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 91 physicians serving in Egyptian isolation hospitals answered the study questionnaire.FindingsDemographically, more than half of respondents were males. Over one-third of them are holding Doctor of Medicine (M.D), followed by one-third holding Master of Medicine (MMed). Respondents' age ranged from 30 to 60 years. Internal medicine is the most common specialty, accounting for nearly half of all physicians, followed by chest medicine and intensive care medicine. The information-seeking behavior of these three groups in their regular work is believed to be different, but since all of the participants are working in COVID-19 isolation hospitals, they should have the same information resources, Internet access and the same needs relevant to COVID-19 in order to make accurate clinical decisions. The physicians used traditional and electronic information sources to fulfill their information needs, the most important of which were to make a specific research, find an answer to a specific case, and deliver a medical lecture. Colleagues, coworkers, nurses and pharmacists were the most important channels pursued by Egyptian physicians to obtain information.Originality/valueThis study is the first study that focuses on investigating the information-seeking behavior of Egyptian physicians serving in isolation hospitals. Any findings resulted from this study may serve as a noteworthy reference that may be useful to the Egyptian health sector, experts, researchers, as well as policymakers in establishing strategic decisions for making the understating much better.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-08-2020-0350
Rethinking business transformation: how multiple technologies interact with intelligent workflows to produce exponential value
Authors: Dencik Jacob , Marshall Anthony 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
IBM IBV research shows that interactions between several new digital technologies and between these technologies and other organizational capabilities enable and drive the business value needed for successful transformation.

Design/Methodology/Approach
Organizations should first identify the high value workflows and focus on what it takes to transform them.

Findings
IBM IBV analysis found that if an organization excels at implementing four key elements of transformation together with an integrated set of digital technologies, the revenue impact of a dollar invested is as much as 13 times greater than the revenue impact of a single technology such as cloud alone.

Practical/implications
Workflows provide an end-to-end perspective of what scaled transformation will look like while enabling identification of appropriate areas of immediate transformation.

Originality/Value
This paper especially valuable to practitioners and academics because it is sourced from multiple recent large-scale C-suite executive surveys conducted by the IBM Institute for Business Value, working in collaboration with Oxford Economics.

Authors: Jaoui Fadel , Amoussou Omolola , Kemeze Francis H. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates the determinants of venture capital investments across 25 African countries over the period 2014–2019. In particular, it considers the significance of innovation and digitalization in Africa's venture capital activity. The results show that digital infrastructure, high‐technology exports, internet coverage, market size, minority investor protection and government effectiveness are the main drivers of venture capital deals in Africa over the period examined. More generally, these findings highlight that digital infrastructure and connectivity, innovation and institutional frameworks all play an important role in shaping a favorable environment to attract venture capital funding.
Subjective poverty and migration intention abroad: The case of Senegal
Authors: Diallo Mamadou Abdoulaye 
Published: July 2022

AbstractBased on data from Round 7 of the Afrobarometer survey, this study aims to identify the factors associated with Senegalese adults’ migration intention and investigates the effect of poverty on migration intention. We construct a subjective poverty index via multiple correspondence analysis and estimate a logistic regression model to identify the determinants of migration intention. The results show that poverty has a positive and significant effect on migration intention. Meanwhile, migration intention decreases with age, yet increases with both the level of dependence on remittances and the presence of a returned migrant in the household. Our results are policy relevant, as knowledge and understanding of the intention to migrate and its determinants can be used to assess and design future migration programs through the creation of employment opportunities and better working conditions to reduce poverty, remittances dependency, and potential brain drain, especially among youth and full/part‐time workers.
Palm‐based cellulose nanofiber isolated from mechano‐chemical processing as sustainable rheological modifier in reduced fat mayonnaise
Authors: Lee Zu Jia , Tong Shi‐Cheng , Tang Teck‐Kim , Lee Yee‐Ying 
Published: July 2022

AbstractReducing fat intake from our daily diet serves to be an effective way to combat the rising obesity issue worldwide. Hence, reducing fat content in mayonnaise, a high fat food product, is one of the primary trends in the food industry. To date, research on the use of nanocellulose, a new and emerging form of fat mimetic, in mayonnaise formulation remains limited. This study sets out to formulate reduced fat 5%, 15%, and 30% mayonnaise using varying concentration of nanocellulose synthesized from palm pressed fiber followed by a 20‐day stability study. Nanocellulose was synthesized with particle size of 106.0 ± 18.7 nm and zeta potential of −72.5 ± 2.26 mV. It was used as fat mimetic in mayonnaise. Rheological analysis conducted showed that incorporation of nanocellulose into reduced fat mayonnaise formulation was able to counteract the loss of viscosity in mayonnaise caused by fat content reduction. This finding was further supported by the smaller oil droplets that are closely packed in reduced fat mayonnaise formulation when viewed under light microscope. Nonetheless, significant oil droplet coalescence was found in reduced fat mayonnaise formulations during storage period which could lead to loss of viscosity. Taken together, these findings suggest that CNF was able to act as fat mimetic upon formulation of mayonnaise but the same cannot be said during long term storage of mayonnaise.Practical ApplicationWe successfully isolated nanocellulose from palm biomass (palm pressed fiber) using green approach and used it as a fat replacer for preparation of 5%, 15%, and 30% reduced fat mayonnaise. A computation study revealed a strong binding affinity of the nanocellulose on the lipase active site essential to inhibit the digestion of fats and oils. Therefore, nanocellulose demonstrated a huge potential to be used as not only as fat replacer but also rheological modifier for the development of reduced fat or vegan foods.

AbstractNote: We respectfully refer to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as Indigenous in this study.ObjectiveTo design and develop an Indigenous specific suicide intervention skills program that focuses on education and intervention training as an effective suicide prevention strategy.MethodUsing a co‐designed wrap‐around framework, we developed a program in collaboration with >90 communities, stakeholders and service providers across Australia to understand knowledge, awareness and sense of connectedness between at‐risk groups and health services or support groups.ResultsThe I‐ASIST training provides participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to apply a suicide intervention model. The framework behind the intervention model provides caregivers the awareness to recognise when someone may be at risk of suicide. It then gives them the skills to connect with a person at risk of suicide and to understand and clarify that risk, steps to keep that person safe for a specific period and then provide them with the resources or links required for further help. The program enables the development of knowledge through interactive strategies through cultural recognition and empowerment of participants. Based on a social‐enterprise model, I‐ASIST has been translated into a certified program supported by LivingWorks Australia.ConclusionBased on a strengths‐based and self‐determination model of co‐design, this grass roots innovative framework creates suicide safer communities.
Greenwash and green brand equity: The mediating role of green brand image, green satisfaction and green trust and the moderating role of information and knowledge
Authors: Ha Minh‐Tri , Ngan Vo Thi Kim , Nguyen Phuong N. D. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis work examines the impact of greenwash on green brand equity and analyses the mediation effects of green brand image, green satisfaction and green trust as well as the moderating effect of information and knowledge based on the legitimacy theory and signalling theory. This study adopts a questionnaire‐based survey design to gather data from 445 respondents using a cluster random sampling technique. Data collection focuses on Vietnamese consumers who had purchased electronic products in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The findings show that although greenwash is not significantly related to green brand equity possibly due to the halo effect, greenwash is adversely related to green brand image, green satisfaction and green trust, which would positively influence green brand equity. In other words, green brand image, green satisfaction and green trust play a full mediation role in the relationship between greenwash and green brand equity. In addition, information and knowledge actually moderate the relationship between greenwash and green brand equity, and it strengthens the adverse relationship between greenwash and green brand equity. This research is the first to combine green brand image, green satisfaction and green trust as mediators to shed light on the understanding of different impact mechanisms in the greenwash–green brand equity relationship. Furthermore, this research is also the first to study information and knowledge as a moderator in the greenwash–green brand equity relationship. This provides a better insight into the process and context by which greenwash affects green brand equity. Taken together, the findings of this study extend and advance the understanding regarding the different mechanisms and the dynamics in which green brand image, green satisfaction, green trust as mediators and information and knowledge as a moderator can play in the emerging market context of consumers of electronic products in Vietnam. The findings enrich the growing body of green marketing literature and contribute significantly towards a unified theory of brand equity.
Prioritizing Candidate Peptides for Cancer Vaccines Through Predicting Peptide Presentation by HLA-I Proteins
Authors: Zhou Laura Y. , Zou Fei , Sun Wei 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Cancer (treatment) vaccines that are made of neoantigens, or peptides unique to tumor cells due to somatic mutations, have emerged as a promising method to reinvigorate the immune response against cancer. A key step to prioritizing neoantigens for cancer vaccines is computationally predicting which neoantigens are presented on the cell surface by a human leukocyte antigen (HLA). We propose to address this challenge by training a neural network using mass spectrometry (MS) data composed of peptides presented by at least one of several HLAs of a subject. We embed the neural network within a mixture model and train the neural network by maximizing the likelihood of the mixture model. After evaluating our method using data sets where the peptide presentation status was known, we applied it to analyze somatic mutations of 60 melanoma patients and identified a group of neoantigens more immunogenic in tumor cells than in normal cells. Moreover, neoantigen burden estimated by our method was significantly associated with a measurement of the immune system activity, suggesting these neoantigens could induce an immune response.
